Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have ended their 18-month court battle, but there is no public sign that the It Ends With Us co-stars are anything close to friends now. What is clear, according to Page Six Hollywood, is that the pair spent a combined $60 million on legal fees before reaching a last-minute settlement on Monday, 4 May, just two weeks before trial.
The settlement came after a bruising dispute that had sprawled far beyond the film itself. Lively, 38, sued Baldoni, 42, for $400 million in December 2024, alleging sexual harassment and a smear campaign. Baldoni then countersued, and the case became increasingly messy as parts of both sides' arguments were dismissed in court.
