Courtroom Showdown: Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Arrive Separately as Explosive Legal Battle Nears Trial

Tension was in the air outside a New York courthouse as Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni made separate arrivals for a court-ordered settlement conference tied to their dispute over the film It Ends With Us.

Lively arrived first, followed 33 minutes later by Baldoni, who appeared alongside his wife, Emily. Observers quickly noticed an unexpected detail — both stars were dressed in olive-green outfits, a coincidence that didn’t go unnoticed by onlookers and photographers.

The conference, a routine step in federal cases, is designed to explore whether a resolution can be reached before a full trial. The process can even take place in separate rooms, meaning the two may not come face-to-face at all.

The legal battle began in December 2024, when Lively filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and retaliation connected to their time working together. Baldoni has denied the allegations and previously filed a countersuit that was later dismissed.

With a trial date currently set for May 18, the high-profile case continues to draw attention, leaving fans and industry watchers closely following every new development.
