Ryan Reynolds, wife of actress Blake Lively, has expressed pride in his wife's integrity during their ongoing legal battle with director-costar Justin Baldoni. The legal dispute, which began in December 2024, involves Lively alleging that Baldoni subjected her to sexual harassment and led to a retaliatory smear campaign. Lively is seeking more than $160 million in damages. Baldoni has denied these claims. On April 2, a U.S. District Judge dismissed 10 of Lively's 13 claims against Baldoni, including those relating to harassment, and the trial is set to begin on May 18 in New York. Despite the legal battle, Lively has been seen publicly with Reynolds and shared tributes to each other.
