The Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni lawsuit hit a massive twist after a US federal judge dismissed the former’s 400 million lawsuit. This lawsuit was against the actress, her husband Ryan Reynolds, their publicist Leslie Sloane, and The New York Times. Amid the ongoing legal battle, Lively’s friendship with Taylor Swift was allegedly hurt. Now, recent reports suggest that their friendship hasn’t rekindled.
About Blake Lively, Taylor Swift’s Friendship
A source told US Weekly, “Although it was great news for Blake, she hasn’t rekindled her friendship with Taylor yet.” They said that Taylor hasn’t been in touch with Blake and does not want to discuss anything about the lawsuit. They said that the Gossip Girl actor is positive about rekindling a friendship with her ex-BFF. However, as of now, there is a distance between the two.
Their high-profile friendship hit a rough patch after Blake’s legal drama with her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. The actress filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024 for alleged se*ual harassment and retaliation. He hit back and accused her of defamation and extortion, while also dragging Swift into the drama.
In a prior document acquired by Page Six, Baldoni’s legal team accused Lively of using her acquaintance with the singer to gain control of the filming. Bryan Freedman, the actor’s attorney, subpoenaed the ‘Cruel Summer’ singer as a witness in the approaching March 2026 trial. They also claimed that Lively demanded Swift delete their private texts and write a public statement in support of Lively, something Lively’s legal team strongly refuted.
