Justin Baldoni Supports Blake Lively Amid Feud Rumors
- Justin Baldoni has expressed his support for Blake Lively amidst rumors of conflict between the two actors.
- These rumors arose following the US premiere of a project they are involved in.
- Fans speculate about the potential tensions, but Baldoni's support seems to counteract such claims.
In a recent interview, Justin Baldoni, director and star of the upcoming film *It Ends with Us*, expressed his admiration for co-star Blake Lively, calling her a “dynamic creative.” This statement comes in the wake of online speculation regarding a potential feud between Baldoni and Lively, fueled by their lack of public interaction during the film's premiere. The movie, based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, features Lively as Lily Bloom, who faces a difficult choice when her first love, Atlas, reappears in her life. Baldoni emphasized Lively's multifaceted talents, noting that while she is widely recognized as an actress and fashion icon, her creative contributions extend far beyond those roles. His comments were made amidst rumors suggesting that he has been “shunned” by Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, due to creative differences. These rumors gained traction after a TikTok user highlighted the absence of a photo together at the film's premiere, where Baldoni was notably absent from Lively's social media posts. In response to the speculation, Lively has publicly stated that she and Reynolds support each other's work, reinforcing their collaborative relationship. As the film approaches its release on August 9, early critical reviews have been mixed, with some critics noting a disconnect between the film's serious themes and its lighter moments. The Independent has reached out to representatives for Baldoni, Lively, and Reynolds for further comments on the situation.
