Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds make moves to dismiss Justin Baldoni’s $400M lawsuit

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are seeking to dismiss Justin Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against them.

The “Gossip Girl” alum and her husband’s lawyers informed a NYC judge of their plans via a notice filed on Thursday, according to legal documents obtained by Variety.

“The Lively-Reynolds Parties intend to move to dismiss Plaintiffs’ complaint,” said Michael J. Gottlieb.

Judge Lewis Liman had previously requested that the lawyers send a written notice to “indicate in one sentence the Defendant’s intent to make a motion to dismiss.”

Liman will set a deadline later to actually file the motion, the outlet claims.

Publicist Leslie Sloane, who was also named as a defendant in Baldoni’s suit, filed a similar notice on Wednesday.

Reps for Reynolds, Lively and Baldoni did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Attorneys for all parties are scheduled to attend the first hearing for the ongoing legal drama between Lively and her co-star Monday.

Lively — who stars in the film as Lily Bloom — first filed a complaint on Dec. 20 with the California Civil Rights Department, stating that Baldoni, 41, sexually harassed her on the set of the film.

She further alleged that the “Jane the Virgin” alum retaliated against her by launching a smear campaign to harm her reputation.

Earlier this month, Baldoni responded to Lively’s claims by filing his defamation and extortion lawsuit against her, Reynolds, and the actress’ publicist, Sloane.

He also filed a $250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times at the end of December 2024 for reporting on Lively’s claims against him.

Baldoni’s lawsuit alleged that Lively rewrote parts of the script and “began inserting herself into the production process in intrusive ways well beyond the scope of her contractual entitlement.”

Lively filed a formal lawsuit against Baldoni on Dec. 31 in New York Federal Court for alleged sexual harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and lost wages.

The “A Simple Favor” actress, 37, made claims that Baldoni made her feel uncomfortable while working together. Not only did she allege that he made sexually suggestive comments, but she also claims Baldoni spoke with her “out of character.”

Baldoni released raw footage from “It Ends With Us” in an attempt to refute Lively’s claims; however, her team has called the video “damning” and argued it corroborated her claims.

At the court hearing Monday, the attorneys are scheduled to discuss Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman’s extrajudicial conduct, per Variety.

Lively’s camp has claimed that Freedman’s comments to the press could “taint the jury pool.”

A New York judge set a March 2026 trial date for the case and moved the court hearing originally scheduled for mid-February to Monday.

Zendaya wore this Prada lip balm on her ‘Odyssey’ and ‘Spider-Man’ press tours

Zendaya’s love for this balm isn’t just lip service.

The booked and busy star ditched lipstick for both the NYC premiere of “The Odyssey” and the LA premiere of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” this month, opting instead for a swipe of sheer Prada Balm.

The long-wearing formula offers up to 24 hours of comfort and hydration. (Not to mention, it comes in a gorgeous refillable tube.)

For her angelic “Odyssey” red carpet look, Zendaya’s makeup artist, Ernesto Casillas, mixed both the Universal and Astral Pink shades. While the latter appears blue in the tube, it reacts to the body’s natural pH and transforms into a subtle blush hue on the lips.

“A touch of Prada Balm in Astral Pink brought a soft hint of life to [Zendaya’s] lips and completed the effortless, radiant finish,” Casillas said in a press release.

At this week’s “Spider-Man” press junket stop, the glam pro mixed the Universal shade — which looks green, but goes on completely clear — with Prada’s colorless Glossy Liquid Balm.

It’s been a big week for Prada; the legendary brand announced Zendaya as the global ambassador for its upcoming Paradoxe Sweet Chemistry Eau de Parfum today, though her love of the line goes much farther back.

“My first introduction to the Prada fragrances was through one of my best friends,” she told Vogue. “He wears Prada Paradoxe Eau de Parfum Intense, and I would always love it when I smelled it on him,”

“I decided to test it out at the 2025 Met Gala, and I kept getting compliments on it, so it became my signature scent,” she said of the flowery amber blend.
