Justin Baldoni’s mom, Sharon Baldoni, just dropped a heartfelt pep talk on Instagram that could rival the final scene of Jane the Virgin—you know, the one that made us all cry into our popcorn. But this wasn’t just any birthday tribute. Nope, it was a masterclass in “Mom Advice 101,” with a sprinkle of please-don’t-lose-your-soul thrown in for good measure.
In case you missed it, Justin is currently tangled in some It Ends With Us legal drama involving his co-star Blake Lively. Yep, because what’s a good movie production without a little courtroom chaos, right? But while lawyers argue over contracts and whatnot, Mama Baldoni swooped in to remind her son to keep his head—and integrity—above water.
“Happy Birthday Justin,” Sharon began, probably while wearing a cardigan that radiates cozy mom vibes. Then, she hit us with a nostalgia bomb that transported everyone back to the set of Jane the Virgin. Apparently, those were the glory days, full of love, joy, and “exploding hearts.” (No word on whether those explosions were literal or just a side effect of Gina Rodriguez’s impeccable acting.)
She continued, “Life has its moments and also its surprises.” Translation: “Son, not every surprise is a good one—like, say, lawsuits with your co-star—but chin up!” She then dropped the wisdom hammer, saying, “As you keep your integrity through it all, justice and truth will shine.” Honestly, this feels like the kind of line that belongs on a Hallmark card or maybe tattooed on Justin’s arm.
The tribute ended with, “I love you more than you will ever know! Happy Birthday my beautiful boy! May God continue to bless you in truth.” Aww, Sharon. We’re not crying; you’re crying!
While Justin battles legal woes and keeps Hollywood interesting, his mom is out here being the hype woman we all need in our lives. Someone give her an honorary award, stat.
