Emily left the Park Slope abode during the COVID-19 pandemic to move in with her parents in 2020 and has been able to work remotely ever since.

“Moving back in with my parents in my 30s was quite an experiment,” the senior manager for the National Audubon Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to conservation of birds and their habitats, told The Post last year. “It’s been a lot of fun. We are big animal people. Between us, there are three cats, four dogs, some chickens and a couple of old horses.”

She added, “Being able to spend quality time and to just hang out and do things like watch ‘The Bachelor’ together has been great.”

It is unclear how long Emily and Baglieri have been dating, but she first posted an Instagram photo with him in September 2021.

She penned a touching 30th birthday message to him in January 2023, writing, “Happy 30th to my really, really ridiculously good looking best friend in the whole world.”

He previously shared a photo with Emily to his own Instagram in September 2021 when they took a a trip to Acadia National Park in Maine, calling her his “Maine squeeze.”
