The beloved Wizards of Waverly Place is back with Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. Character Justin Russo, played by David Henrie, is known for his charming yet reserved nature, often prioritizing his wizard studies over romance.

While Justin experienced several romantic relationships during the original series, it wasn’t until the recent reboot, that fans discovered who Justin ultimately ends up with. The reboot centers on an adult Justin, revealing new details about his life, family, and love. Now living a normal, mortal life, Justin has settled down with his partner, Giada, portrayed by Mimi Gianopulos.

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is a spin-off which revolves around the plot mentioned below:

Justin embraces mortality to live with his family. His new challenge arises when Alex introduces Billie, a wizard-in-training, seeking Justin's mentorship.

In the series timeline, Justin had a number of notable love interests along the way. The first one was Miranda Hampson, Justin’s first girlfriend from high school. Next, he romantically pursued a vampire named Juliet Van Heusen which added a fantasy component to his dating experiences.

Most of the time the audience saw their lovey-dovey moments in many episodes. However, the two were not able to come together because of their different supernatural abilities, and this implied that the ending would put them apart when the series concluded.

From the onset of the series, Justin is portrayed as a loyal and multifaceted person who by the end of the film allows the audience to appreciate his soft side. However, the series did not make it clear if he and Juliet would meet again.


Who Is Justin’s Final Partner in Wizards Beyond Waverly Place?

In Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, which premiered in 2024, Justin’s life has evolved significantly since his teenage wizard days. Justin and Giada have two sons, Roman and Milo, suggesting that Justin has chosen family life over returning to the wizarding world.

Surely, some fans wanted him to rekindle his romance with Juliet, but the new series brings Giada instead who is Justin’s one-and-only and a crucial part of his life.

Justin’s plot revolves around his tug-of-war with the family responsibilities alongside facilitating some snatches back into the magic world, when, in particular, his sister Alex gets him to help a kid, Billie, who is also undergoing wizard training.


The reboot maintains the original show's essence while entering new family relationships, bringing out the attributes of Justin's character as he struggles to master fatherhood while balancing the burdens of his magical lineage.

His love story with Giada aligns with the series' continued focus on family values, friendship, and personal growth. Henrie, who is also an executive producer on the show alongside Selena Gomez, has shared in interviews that the reboot allows for both nostalgic connections to the original series and fresh storylines for new viewers.
