The long running legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over their film It Ends With Us has finally come to an end, with both parties reaching a confidential settlement just weeks before a high profile trial was set to begin.

The dispute, which began in December 2024, stemmed from tensions during the film’s production. Lively had filed a lawsuit accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment, retaliation, and orchestrating a smear campaign to damage her reputation. Baldoni strongly denied the allegations and responded with massive countersuits, including defamation claims against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and even media outlets, alleging that they had attempted to harm his career.
