On February 11, the two met in court in Manhattan, showing up in unintentionally(?) coordinating outfits of green and pink. Coincidentally, these colors played a big part in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vulture.com\/article\/it-ends-with-us-review-youve-seen-this-movie-before.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">It Ends With Us<\/a> promo color story. Could the matchy-matchy looks be a signal that the two are ready to reach an agreement. No, it could not. In something so predictable it could be considered un-news, or perhaps olds, the It Ends With Us legal drama did not end Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmlioq09p000d3b7ahh2c0t6r@published\" data-word-count=\"140\">Lively and Baldoni attend a court-ordered settlement conference to determine whether a settlement was viable. Baldoni showed up holding his wife\u2019s hand, smiling for the cameras outside. Lively appeared on her own, in a power suit, and with much more serious expressions captured on Getty Images. At the end of the day, Baldoni\u2019s lawyer Bryan Freedman confirmed (per <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/film\/news\/blake-lively-justin-baldoni-mediation-1236660279\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Variety<\/a>) that no deal had been reached. That doesn\u2019t mean one can\u2019t be ever be reached, however. There\u2019s also the matter of the summary judgement Baldoni\u2019s team has requested from Judge Lewis Liman, which could see Lively\u2019s complaint thrown out entirely. But as long as things continue has they have, the proceedings will go on as scheduled with the trial beginning in May of this year. Freedman said he expects they will go to trial: \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>  Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pinks and greens for early spring.
