For over a year, Blake Lively was locked in a legal battle with Justin Baldoni, which stemmed from their time working on the 2024 film It Ends with Us. Lively leveled various allegations against Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment and launching a smear campaign against her. Baldoni also countersued Lively for defamation and extortion among other alleged offenses. Lively and Baldoni settled that case weeks ago but, now, it seems Lively – along with husband Ryan Reynods – is now embroiled in a real estate issue.
This latest situation involves the compound Lively and Reynolds own in upstate New York. It was in 2018 that the celebrity couple purchased the 110-acre estate and subsequently commissioned a major construction project that apparently halted around December 2025 or January 2026. According to Daily Mail, though, the two are now facing five separate legal filings from contractors and subcontractors, who’ve specifically filed mechanic's liens against their property.
