Blake Lively shares a candid photo with Ryan Reynolds amid Justin Baldoni lawsuits

The ‘Another Simple Favor’ actress posted the new photo on her Instagram Stories on March 16

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are getting cozy.

On Sunday, March 16, Lively, 37, shared a new selfie with her husband, 48, amid her ongoing legal conflict with her It Ends with Us director-costar Justin Baldoni.

The Instagram Stories photo, which was set to The Rolling Stones’ 1971 track “Wild Horses,” showed  Lively smiling as she rested against Reynolds’ head and shoulder while wrapped up in a navy blue coat.

Reynolds, meanwhile, sported a colorful knit sweater and light blue beanie printed with the words, ‘Wrexham Lager,’ who are one of the sponsors of Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Welsh soccer team, Wrexham A.F.C.

Reynolds has been supporting his wife, whom he married in 2012, amid her highly publicized legal battle with Baldoni, 41. In December 2024, Lively sued Baldoni, accusing him and others of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign, which he denies. Baldoni countersued Lively, Reynolds and their publicist in January, alleging defamation and extortion.

A court trial is scheduled for March 2026.

Lively’s latest social media post comes after the star attended the premiere of her new film, Another Simple Favor, her first movie to premiere since her ongoing legal issues with Baldoni began.

On March 7, the actress walked the red carpet in Austin, Texas, as her comedic-thriller sequel opened the 2025 SXSW Film & TV Festival.

Days later, the Gossip Girl alum shared a social media recap of her time at the festival.

“Watching @asimplefavor opening night @sxsw felt like a rock concert. Thank you to the very best audience,” Lively’s caption began.

“Making this movie was already the gift, every element of it. To share it with you all and feel the love returned to us was the best feeling. Thank you for having us Austin,” she continued.
