Justin Baldoni looked back on his romantic marriage proposal to his wife Emily Baldoni in a recent interview.

The 40-year-old filmmaker shared how his unusual marriage proposal continued while he was performing Live with Kelly and Mark on Tuesday, December 10, to promote his latest film It ends with us.

The Jane the Virgin The star has been married to his wife Emily Baldoni for 11 years and joked: “In Hollywood that’s like 70 years or something.”

As the hosts discussed the viral moment the couple got engaged, they played a clip from the 27-minute proposal: “So you went viral when you got engaged. There was a social media post about your involvement.”

The proposal clip showed Justin wearing white and throwing feathers while pretending to be in a boy band I want it that way played in the background.

The actor further explained that on April 13, 2013, he set up hidden cameras at the Blu Jam Café, where he had his first date with his now-wife.

He had planned a surprise for Emily by renting out the hotel and told her he would be late.

As she sat down, the pre-filmed proposal began playing as planned, the bottom of his camera capturing her real-time reactions. As she sat down, his pre-filmed proposal began playing.

The video also included a short montage of their fondest memories together, which lasted until Justin showed up in person.

When asked about his plan, Justin explained: “It was a big joke. The whole idea was that I failed at all of these proposals because I proposed in a way that I wanted and not in a way that she wanted,” he explained.

“That’s something I learned in marriage, and I’m sure you learned it: how to love someone the way they want to be loved, and not the way we wanted to be loved. So that was the whole path of the proposal.”
