Lively and Reynolds Smile and Crack Jokes on Time100 Carpet Amid Ongoing Legal Battle with Baldoni
In the midst of their legal battle against Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds attended the Time100 Gala in New York City, flashing big grins and engaging in playful banter on the red carpet.
AMIDST THE CHAOS, A MOMENT OF FUN:
Despite the ongoing legal conflict, the duo kept things lighthearted, with Lively commenting, "It's so nice without the yelling," to which Reynolds responded, "I know, right. It's so cordial." Reynolds also joked about their compatibility, saying, "We do singles too. Don't worry. She'll leave." At one point, the press asked the couple to move further down the carpet, and Reynolds quipped, "I'll f--- off. Don't worry."
A CAST OF CHARACTERS:
Blake Lively, dressed in a strapless pink gown and statement green earrings, and Reynolds, smartly suited up complete with a bow tie, posed for pictures prior to the event at Jazz at Lincoln Center on April 24th. Lively's appearance on the Time100 most influential people list, which declared her a "Titan," sparked debate online due to her legal battle with Baldoni.
THE CONTROVERSY CONTINUES:
The controversy was fueled by claims of sexual harassment made by Lively during the filming of "It Ends With Us." Justin Baldoni, who denied the allegations, later filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds, and their associates, accusing them of defamation, civil extortion, and "pure malice." The trial is scheduled for March 2026.
As the legal battle continues, Lively and Reynolds' public appearances with Baldoni have ceased, and tensions between the parties show no signs of subsiding. However, at the Time100 Gala, the couple momentarily found humor amidst the stress of their ongoing feud.
*FUN FACT:Since the release of the film "It Ends With Us," Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have reportedly had no collaborative projects announced.*
