Blake Lively has quietly retreated from public life as legal tensions with It Ends With Us co-star and producer Justin Baldoni intensify, according to a report by the Dailymail. The once highly visible actress has been notably absent from red carpets, public appearances, and social media in recent weeks, a move insiders say is intentional.
Lively, 36, is reportedly choosing privacy while dealing with the emotional toll of an ongoing lawsuit involving Baldoni. While exact details of the legal case remain under wraps, the battle has been dragging on for months, generating considerable speculation and strain.
“She doesn’t want to be seen out,” a source close to the actress shared, adding that Lively has told friends she’s “in hiding” to protect her peace. The legal stress has also reportedly affected her social circle, with several former celebrity friends distancing themselves during this period.
Despite the isolation, Blake isn’t entirely alone. She is said to be relying on a few trusted confidants, including her sister Robyn Lively and her longtime stylist. Husband Ryan Reynolds has kept quiet publicly but is described as “quietly supportive” behind the scenes.
Fans have noticed Lively’s absence and have continued to express concern and encouragement online.
“She’s not disappearing forever,” one source confirmed. “She’s just regrouping before making her next move.”
With rumours swirling and curiosity growing, one thing is certain: Blake Lively is reclaiming control of her narrative, away from the spotlight.
