Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively arrived at a New York City courthouse in near matching outfits for their blockbuster It Ends With Us showdown.
Wearing a khaki double-breasted suit, a tan vest over a pink button-up shirt, a green suede purse and a five-leaf clover pin for good luck, she walked in alongside her lawyers to face Baldoni for her first time since their legal battle began in December 2024.
Smiling Baldoni similarly wore an olive teddy coat with a pink scarf as he walked in alongside his lawyer Bryan Freedman.
Ryan Reynolds was conspicuously absent when Lively arrived at court this morning, but Baldoni had his wife Emily firmly by his side for support.
More than a year after filing a complaint accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation on the film’s set, the parties will make a final attempt to resolve the dispute at a court-ordered settlement conference Wednesday in US District Court in Manhattan — their last chance to avoid a May 18 trial.
The closed-door hearing, overseen by Judge Sarah L. Cave, will be closed to the media and public as she presses both sides toward a potential settlement.
