The long-running legal battle between Hollywood stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over their 2024 film It Ends With Us has finally reached its conclusion, with both sides emerging from court claiming victory.

A US federal judge recently ruled that Lively can recover a portion of her legal fees and costs from Baldoni following the settlement of their legal dispute. However, the court denied her request for punitive damages and additional financial relief. The ruling marks one of the final chapters in a controversy that has dominated entertainment headlines since late 2024.
