Blake Lively is trying to keep her and Ryan Reynolds’ net worth out of the It Ends With Us trial, arguing it could unfairly sway the jury. Justin Baldoni is pushing back, saying her finances are relevant because she has claimed his alleged smear campaign cost her millions in damages.

What the fight is about

Lively has asked the court to exclude wealth-related evidence, calling it improper and potentially prejudicial. Baldoni’s team says that doesn’t make sense if she’s seeking major monetary damages tied to brand and career losses.

The money at stake

Reports say Lively is seeking anywhere from roughly $142 million to nearly $300 million in compensatory damages, depending on how the claims are calculated. Baldoni’s side argues that if she wants the court to hear about lost income, then her earning power and household wealth matter too.

Why it matters

This is now less about one film and more about how damages will be measured in a high-profile celebrity legal war. The trial is set for May 19, and both sides are already battling over what the jury will be allowed to hear.
