Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Lawyers for Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are officially talking about coming to some sort of settlement in the bitter and sprawling sex harassment and retaliation legal action the actress launched last year against her It Ends With Us co-star and his Wayfarer Studios inner circle. Of course, no one on either side has high hopes that the parties can come to any deal before the scheduled start of the trial in May 2026. “This is a mix of going through the motions, fulfilling Judge [Lewis] Liman’s order and putting the best foot forward,” an individual close to the matter told Deadline this week as a settlement calendar appeared on the federal court docket.
