A video of Justin Baldoni’s over-the-top, 27-minute proposal to his wife, Emily Baldoni, has resurfaced after he was accused of sexual harassment by Blake Lively.

On April 13, 2012, the actor set up an elaborate proposal at Blu Jam Cafe in Los Angeles, where he and Emily had their first date, per a video posted to YouTube.

Justin rented out the restaurant and told his now-wife that he was running late, however, when she sat down at a candle-lit table, a video of the filmmaker started playing in front of her.

Several hidden cameras around Emily, 40, caught her shocked reaction, as Justin, now 40, told her via the video that he was proposing.

“I love you, baby,” he said. “I’m coming. I’m on my way to you, but I just want to do something for you. So, I’ll see you soon.”

The clip then cuts to the “Jane the Virgin” alum appearing on a fake radio show, where he attempted to ask Emily to marry him but realized he wasn’t live on air.

“I’m going to try something else,” Justin said before the video cut to a scene of him lip-syncing to *NYSNC’s 1997 track “God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You,” Boyz II Men’s 1994 song “I’ll Make Love to You” and ABBA’s 1976 hit “Dancing Queen.”

Justin also organized a flash mob to dance to Bruno Mars’ 2010 hit “Marry You” and directed a mini crime drama showing him delivering a wedding ring in a briefcase.

Afterward, the “It Ends With Us” star put together several clips of Emily throughout their time together.

He also showed himself walking toward the Blu Jam Cafe as he was greeted by his parents and sister.

The video ended and Justin walked into the restaurant in real-time to greet his emotional then-girlfriend.

“I wanted to come here because this is where it all started. You’re the woman that’s changed my life. I’ve never been happier. … Life’s never been more beautiful. You make me a better man,” he said.

“I love you, baby,” he said in the clip. “I’m coming. I’m on my way to you, but I just want to do something for you. So, I’ll see you soon.” Instagram/justinbaldoni

Justin then brought his parents and Emily’s mom into the restaurant before projecting a video of himself asking her late father for his daughter’s hand in marriage at his grave.

“I hope he approves,” he said with tears in his eyes.

Getting down on one knee, Justin then asked Emily, “Will you let me take care of you for the rest of your life? Will you let me be your husband? … Emily, will you marry me?”

Ignoring the ring, Emily said yes and hugged her now-husband.

The couple tied the knot in July 2013.

Earlier this month, Justin reflected on his lengthy proposal in an interview on “Live with Kelly and Mark.”

“It was a 27-minute long proposal video,” he said. “It was my first movie, actually,”

Reflecting on his 11-year marriage, he added, “In Hollywood, that’s, like, 70 years or something.”

The proposal video resurfaced amid Justin’s legal issues with Lively stemming from their time on the set of their film, “It Ends With Us.”

On Friday, the “Gossip Girl” alum filed a complaint against her co-star and director accusing him of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign to ruin her reputation.

Justin’s lawyer has vehemently denied the allegations, telling Page Six that the claims are “outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media.”
