The answer wasBlake Lively

Why Blake Lively was in the news

Blake Lively is an American actress best known for her role as Serena van der Woodsen in the television series Gossip Girl. She has built a prominent career in film and television, appearing in numerous major productions alongside her work as a public figure in entertainment.

On 12 June 2026, Judge Lewis J Liman issued a ruling in the ongoing legal dispute between Lively and Justin Baldoni, her co-actor and director on the 2024 film It Ends With Us. The judge determined that Lively was entitled to recover legal fees and costs incurred in defending against Baldoni's countersuit. However, the ruling denied Lively's broader claims for punitive damages and other relief she had sought. The case was settled following this judicial decision.

The dispute arose from their professional collaboration on It Ends With Us, a film that generated significant legal tension between the two parties. The June ruling marked a partial resolution to their legal conflict, with the financial outcome limited to the recovery of Lively's defence costs rather than the more extensive damages she had pursued.
