Blake Lively BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Fresh headlines swirling around Blake Lively this week prove she remains at the center of both Hollywood buzz and legal intrigue. Over the weekend, People magazine confirmed new details from the ongoing 'It Ends With Us' lawsuit—Lively and Justin Baldoni, her director and co-star, have had their depositions finalized as their high-profile legal battle heads for a March 2026 trial. The case, which has ensnared other notable names such as Jenny Slate and Colleen Hoover, revolves around claims and counterclaims of misconduct and power plays on set, although Lively herself has not commented publicly on the dispute. Interestingly, Ryan Reynolds, Lively's husband, was not deposed, a decision that's drawn speculation among legal watchers but no statement from the Reynolds-Lively camp.
Adding fuel to the conversation, newly unsealed court documents published by the Times of India and echoed by the Economic Times reveal the full extent of Lively’s compensation for 'It Ends With Us.' She scored a base salary of $1.75 million for what was reportedly just six weeks of filming—that’s more than $58,000 per day—plus the potential for box office bonuses and hefty award incentives: $100,000 if nominated for an Oscar, $200,000 for a win, and additional bonuses for similar recognition at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards. These figures only bolster her reputation as both a powerhouse actress and shrewd negotiator. Notably, some of this was publicized after a former agent of co-star Justin Baldoni described pressures around post-production as "extortion," though he later clarified the language, and Lively's own team dismissed the accusations as baseless attempts at controversy.
On the style front, AOL reports Lively made a much-talked-about, rare public appearance in New York City on October 20. She commanded attention in a striking red leather corset dress—an all-burgundy look only further cementing her status as a major fashion icon. Social media buzzed with images and hot takes, with industry insiders remarking once again on her effortless blend of elegance and edge.
While more business news is quiet for Lively this week, she and Reynolds reportedly remain focused on family and their investments, and are said to be grateful all four of their children are thriving—though, as usual, they keep the details close to the vest. No significant new social media posts have come from Lively herself in the past few days, and speculation about potential film projects or a return to lifestyle branding has not yet materialized into anything concrete. For now, the main headlines are dominated by the legal drama, rare public sightings, and the eye-popping salary numbers that remind everyone why Blake Lively’s star power still commands the spotlight.
