After nearly two years of legal battle, actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have settled their dispute related to the film It Ends With Us, bringing an end to a long and public courtroom fight. The settlement comes just two weeks before a planned federal trial. Hours after settling the dispute, Lively stepped onto the Met Gala 2026 red carpet in a stunning look.
