Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have reached a settlement in their ongoing legal dispute tied to the film It Ends With Us, ending a high-profile Hollywood clash that had been heading towards trial in the United States this month. The deal, announced in May 2026, comes after months of court filings, public accusations and a series of legal setbacks.
Earlier, a judge significantly narrowed Lively's claims in the weeks leading up to trial, leaving only a small number of issues still active. NBC News reported that according to a source familiar with the process, settlement discussions began in earnest after that ruling, with both legal teams meeting over the weekend before finalising an agreement shortly before a scheduled pretrial hearing. The terms of the settlement have not been made public.
