Bikini-Clad Blake Lively Smiles in Rare Selfie as Actress Keeps Low-Profile Amid More 'It Ends With Us' Legal Drama

Blake Lively is all smiles in a recent selfie!

The Another Simple Favor actress took to her Instagram story to share a rare summer selfie with her followers while lounging outside.

In the sun-kissed photo, she wore a halter blue bathing suit while working on her tan. She pulled her hair back and accessorized the look with a pair of sunglasses and dainty earrings.

Captioning the Story post, "💎🐚 @marisaklassjewlery," she also stacked two stunning diamond-and-seashell necklaces for the photo.

The smiley selfie comes amid ongoing drama surrounding her highly publicized lawsuit against It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni.

Lively and Baldoni experienced a falling out while filming the movie, which was released in August 2024. Ultimately, it escalated into a high-profile legal battle.

The Gossip Girl star accused her co-star of sexual harassment and a PR smear campaign, while Baldoni denied the claims and filed counter lawsuits against the actress. After a federal judge dismissed most claims, both parties settled in May 2026, just weeks before they were scheduled to go to trial in New York City, though disputes over legal fees continue.

Since everything has gone down, Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, have chosen to remain mostly out of the public eye.

Around the time of Lively's once-good friend Taylor Swift's wedding to NFL star Travis Kelce, an insider had shared information on the famous couple's whereabouts.

"Blake did the right thing and decided not to attend," said the insider about her decision to skip the star-studded wedding, as she and Reynolds did not want to create a scene that would potentially take away from the bride.

"It was the right thing to do. Also, it would have been awkward, and Blake and Ryan are trying to keep a low profile right now," the source added.

On July 8, Baldoni and his wife, Emily Baldoni, broke their silence about the legal battle after two years.

In a joint Instagram post, they explained, "We have not spoken publicly for the better part of the last two years, and it’s not because we haven’t had anything to say, because Lord knows we have."

He continued, "That created so much noise, and we didn’t want to add to the noise. So we just wanted to let the justice system run its course."

His wife added, "The truth and the facts have spoken for themselves."

"It looks different every day. We have had to rethink for ourselves what is real, and what matters. It’s this. It’s our family, it’s our friends, it’s our community, who have been there for us, it’s our faith," Justin concluded.
