Actor Justin Baldoni and his wife Emily have purchased a $3.4 million, 7,000-square-foot home in Nashville, Tennessee, marking a shift in their real estate footprint as Baldoni faces mounting legal pressure tied to his film work. The couple still maintains a smaller Los Angeles home, but have begun to thin their California real estate holdings, including putting their expansive Ojai mountain compound up for rent.

Why it matters

Baldoni's move to Tennessee comes as he faces ongoing legal battles, including a lawsuit with actress Blake Lively that has revealed private text exchanges involving studio executives and other A-list figures. The relocation could signal Baldoni's desire for a quieter life away from the Hollywood spotlight as these legal issues play out.

The details

The Nashville home features six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a main-level primary suite, dual laundry rooms, a three-car garage, and a $150,000 builder credit for a future pool. Situated on an acre, the home boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, upgraded finishes, and a refreshed fireplace. Baldoni has also been spotted around Music City in recent months. Meanwhile, the actor's California mountain retreat in Ojai has been quietly listed for rent at $40,000 per month, though the Baldonis still maintain a smaller Los Angeles farmhouse they purchased in 2017.

  • Baldoni and his wife purchased the Nashville home in August 2026.
  • Baldoni's Ojai mountain compound was listed for rent in late 2026, just months after the Tennessee purchase.
