Blake Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds told a federal judge Thursday that they will seek to dismiss Justin Baldoni’s defamation lawsuit. Attorneys for the two sides are due in court Monday for the first hearing on the megafeud between the two “It Ends With Us” co-stars.

A federal judge has set a March 2026 trial date for actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni to resolve their claims stemming from their work on the movie “It Ends With Us.”

A legal expert tells Page Six Baldoni’s team likely chose that massive amount to message he “will fight to the death to defend his name and bring Lively and Reynolds down.”
