SUMMARY

• Justin Baldoni fulfilled the dream of terminally ill fan Gabriella Detres by inviting her to the It Ends with Us premiere.

Whenever Hollywood makes headlines, it’s usually for dramas and feuds, but sometimes, there are moments of genuine human connections that truly shine. Justin Baldoni, known for his role in Jane the Virgin, has earned himself a loyal fanbase. The actor is beautifully connected to them, and he proved the same during the premiere of It Ends with Us.

Even though the event was overshadowed by the controversies between Blake Lively and Baldoni, the latter’s interaction with a fan was wholesome. But recent claims about the actress’ demands during the premiere have made the whole situation look unpleasant.

Justin Baldoni was warm and generous during the premiere of It Ends with Us which took place in August. Gabriella Detres, a terminally ill fan who admired Baldoni for his inspirational work and persona wanted to meet the actor, and her dream was fulfilled. 

She attended the premiere, and Baldoni shared a heartfelt Instagram post about the same. He expressed how he was in awe of his fan who had endured so much in life, but still managed to remain joyous through it all. The actor went above and beyond to make her evening special. Detres and her husband were deeply moved by Baldoni’s kind gesture and genuine care. 

What cemented their bond was a beautiful and emotional moment when he sang her favorite song, alongside singer Andy Grammer. Detres’ spirit left an indelible mark on Baldoni, as she gave him the “gift of perspective” and reminded the actor of life’s impermanence.

Despite this wonderful moment, the premiere of It Ends with Us allegedly did not go according to Baldoni’s wishes. A recent leaked recording suggests that Baldoni and his guests were reportedly taken to the basement during the event (via Unilad). 

Baldoni doesn’t explicitly name Lively in the recordings, but this dispute contrasts sharply with the warmth that Baldoni displayed towards his fan. The actor being in the basement also suggests that Detres had to possibly be there as well, but none of it is confirmed and regardless of the location, she seemed to have the time of her life with Baldoni.
