Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have settled their legal battle over the production of their 2024 film It Ends With Us, just weeks before a trial is expected to take place.

Together words On Monday, representatives of both organizations said: “The ending – a film called It Ends With Us – is a source of pride for all of us who worked to earn a living.”

“We accept that this situation has caused difficulties and we understand the difficulties that Ms Lively must be feeling,” he said. “We are deeply committed to a workplace free of inappropriate and unprofitable environments. It is our sincere hope that this will bring closure and allow all involved to move forward peacefully and peacefully, including a respectful online environment.”

Details of the settlement have not been made public.

In December 2024, Lively – who starred in a movie based on Colleen Hoover’s book – the accused Baldoni, who also directed and co-directed, about sexual harassment and fostering an abusive workplace during production.

He said that his production company, Wayfarer Studios, paid him back after he complained about his actions.

According to a complaint, Lively accused Baldoni of “posting sexist nonsense”, as well as orchestrating “a well-crafted, coordinated and sponsored retaliation scheme to prevent her, and others, from speaking out”.

In response, Baldoni wrote a $400m defamation lawsuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and a $250m lawsuit against the New York Times following an article called We Can Bury Anyone: Inside the Hollywood Smear Machine.

Baldoni claimed that Lively and Reynolds tried to defame him to “take control” of the film, and his lawsuit included extortion charges.

In June 2025, Lively he left two claims of Baldoni’s depression. A few days later, the US District Judge in New York, Lewis Liman, removed Baldoni’s lawsuit against the Hollywood family, and his lawsuit against the New York Times.

In April, Liman removed many of Lively’s claims against Baldoni, tossing out 10 of 13 claims, including harassment, conspiracy and defamation.

Three claims – breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting – were pending trial before the trial ended.
