Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively's recent blockbuster hit It Ends With Us has fetched the stars much fame and glory. However, it did not take long to land the duo in a whirlwind of controversies. While there have been no external allegations, damage done from within is still damage. The actress' recent revelations about Baldoni as a co-star have already put a dent in Baldoni's stardom. 

Caught up in the pool of accusations and relentless media scrutiny, Baldoni has chosen to stay away. The star, however, was spotted seeking some moments of peace with his better half amidst all the noise.

As shared exclusively by Deuxmoi, the star was spotted at California’s Santa Barbara county on August 16th, days after Blake Lively's controversial interview. Justin Baldoni kept it casual in a tank shirt and shorts for the summers topped with a New York Yankees cap as he took a stroll down the star-studded estate with his wife of 11 years, Emily Baldoni. Complementing her husband, the Swedish actress donned a textured all-white coord for the outing. 

Fans called in a rare sight as the pictures surfaced, since this was probably Justin Baldoni’s one of the first paparazzi shots post his popularity spike following his latest flick. The couple stole a moment of respite as the duo was seen cozying up in the California summer. The star was spotted planting a kiss on her wife, as she had her hands wrapped around him in delight.

The place where the couple chose to take a break is home to a number of Hollywood heavyweights, including UK royalty. 

Santa Barbara is a haven for Hollywood's elite, boasting residents like Friends star Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, popular show host Ellen DeGeneres, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The royal couple, like actor Justin Baldoni and his wife, have been spotted enjoying casual strolls through the city's streets, sometimes even tagging along with their children in public. 

As one of the most exclusive destinations in California, rivaling Beverly Hills, Santa Barbara is a top choice for Hollywood's A-listers to plan official events and get-togethers. This charming destination also serves as a favorite unwinding spot for many stars, offering a serene escape from the limelight. Whether it's a romantic getaway or a family vacation, Santa Barbara's charm has won over the hearts of many Hollywood power couples.
