  • Blake Lively has submitted a bill for over $8 million in legal fees and costs to Justin Baldoni, following a judge's ruling in her favour.
  • This development follows a shock settlement reached last month between the 'It Ends with Us' co-stars in their contentious legal battle.
  • Lively had initially sued Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios, alleging sexual harassment and a subsequent smear campaign during the film's production.
  • Baldoni had filed a $400 million countersuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, which was dismissed in November 2025.
