No end in sight.
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni were photographed arriving at the U.S. District Court in Manhattan on Wednesday morning for a final chance at resolving their legal battle ahead of their May trial.
The “It Ends With Us” co-stars sported bizarrely similar ensembles for the court-ordered settlement conference.

The “Gossip Girl” alum suited up in olive green, completing her look with a pink and white button-up, a striped green cardigan and boots.
The actress carried a green purse and accessorized with a flower pin affixed to her suit jacket.
Baldoni, for his part, paired a green coat with a pink scarf.
While Lively showed up solo, the “Jane the Virgin” alum arrived with his wife, Emily Baldoni, at his side in an all-brown ensemble.

The couple, who have been married since July 2013 and share two children, approached the courthouse hand-in-hand.
Baldoni and Lively’s closed-door hearing will be overseen by U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave and marks the first time the pair have faced off in court since their legal battle began.
The duo first sparked feud rumors in August 2024 when they did separate press for their movie, which is based on the Colleen Hoover book of the same name, despite playing love interests.

Four months later, Lively filed a complaint accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment — and officially sued the director in January 2025.
The “Shallows” star has claimed she suffered at least $161 million in lost earnings and damages due to the alleged smear campaign launched against her when the film came out.
Baldoni, who denied Lively’s allegations, sued her — and her husband, Ryan Reynolds — for $400 million later that same month.
The couple, who have been married since September 2012, requested the “abhorrent” countersuit be dropped in March 2025.
Their trial is currently scheduled for May 18. REUTERS

Baldoni’s lawyer, in turn, blasted the “cowardly” pair, claiming the legal battle was a “self-concocted disaster” Lively “initiated.”
However, Judge Lewis J. Liman filed a motion to dismiss Baldoni’s lawsuit in June 2025, and that case officially came to a close five months later when Baldoni’s team neglected to file an amended complaint by the deadline.
His attorney claimed this choice was made so Baldoni could potentially appeal later on.

The former “Man Enough” podcast co-host sought summary judgment to dismiss Lively’s lawsuit in November 2025, and Liman has not yet ruled on the motion.
Liman will preside over Lively and Baldoni’s trial, which is currently scheduled for May 18.
In the meantime, Lively’s once-close pal Taylor Swift and more A-listers have been dragged into the drama as unsealed court exhibits expose private text messages.
