A New York judge set a March 2026 trial date on Monday and moved an initial conference from mid-February to next week as the public feud between Blake Lively and her “It Ends With Us” costar and director Justin Baldoni continued to grow and accelerate.

A March 2026 trial date has been set for Blake Lively's lawsuit against her 'It Ends With Us' co-star, Justin Baldoni.

I’m really sorry, I f*cked up,” Justin Baldoni admitted to his It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively in a 2 a.m. April 2023 voice message after delivering a less than enthusiastic response to a scene rewrite from the deflated Gossip Girl vet.

"It Ends with Us" director Justin Baldoni accused Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds of defamation, while Lively's team says his attack is "desperate."

Justin Baldoni can be heard apologising to Blake Lively in a leaked voice note allegedly sent during production on It Ends With Us. The audio message, which lasts for almost seven minutes, is believed to have been sent after Baldoni questioned changes Lively made to a rooftop scene – months before their explosive lawsuit and Lively’s accusation of sexual harassment.

"Even in times where it might 'feel' justified and doing the right thing, it makes no difference," the "High School Musical" actor writes in his apology The post Blake Lively’s Brother-in-Law Regrets Making Fun of Justin Baldoni Amid ‘It Ends With Us’ Legal Battle appeared first on TheWrap.
