Despite the difficulties, she said they remain grateful for the support they received from family, friends and their community.Baldoni added that faith, loved ones and gratitude helped them stay strong throughout the difficult period.
He said the experience reminded them of what truly matters, especially spending time with family and focusing on healing.The couple also hinted that they may speak more about the legal battle in the future, but for now, their priority is recovering emotionally and enjoying life with their children.
The legal dispute between Baldoni and Lively began in late 2024 after allegations of misconduct emerged during the production of It Ends With Us. The case later expanded into multiple lawsuits involving both parties before eventually being resolved through a settlement in 2026.Although the legal battle has ended, discussions over legal costs are still ongoing, with Lively’s legal team seeking reimbursement for expenses incurred during the case. Baldoni’s legal team is expected to respond through the court process.
