Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively aren’t letting their legal troubles with Justin Baldoni steal their joy, as evidenced by a recent couple’s selfie shared by Reynolds on Instagram. The photo, taken on a dimly lit street, captures Lively looking fabulous while Reynolds, with his arm wrapped around her, exudes confidence. Their smiles suggest they firmly believe they have the legal battle under control.
This cheerful post comes amidst ongoing legal strife, including a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Lively by her “It Ends With Us” co-star Baldoni. In response, Baldoni has launched a $400 million defamation suit, with tensions escalating between the parties. Recent documents obtained by TMZ indicate that Baldoni claims “malicious and reckless” defamation against him began as early as October 31.
During a recent court hearing, a New York judge denied Lively’s request for a gag order against Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman. Instead, the judge urged both sides to maintain professionalism to avoid jeopardizing the jury’s perception. As the legal battle unfolds, with a trial scheduled to commence in March 2026, both Reynolds and Lively remain steadfast amidst the chaos, showing a united front in their public personas.
