Blake Lively filed court documents seeking approximately $8 million in legal costs from Justin Baldoni following their settled dispute over the 2024 film It Ends With Us. The request covers nearly $7.5 million in attorney fees and $500,000 in expenses after a judge ruled Lively could recover costs when Baldoni's countersuit was dismissed. Lively received no settlement money, and the judge must still approve the fee amount.
