Ryan Reynolds is standing by his woman, leaked text messages be damned. In a statement to Puck News, Reynolds' reps said he did not regret getting involved in the It Ends With Usbehind-the-scenes drama and ensuing legal battles. "Yes, Ryan got involved - what husband wouldn't support his wife and the mother of his children?" they said. "He saw his wife fighting daily to stand up against sexual harassment in a private and respectful way, only to face retaliation for doing so."
Originally scheduled to start March 9, 2026, the It Ends With Us trial now starts on May 18, per . Judge Lewis J. Liman of the Southern District of New York explained that two criminal trials that "take precedent" over a civil trial. The next hearing is on January 22, and Judge Liman reportedly told the parties at a post-discovery hearing on December 9 to talk about settlements, if needed.
The lawsuits spawned a nightmare (and very telling) deposition; a Megyn Kelly news cycle after Justin Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, went on her show to claim Blake Lively lied about everything; a possible falling out between Lively, Taylor Swift, and Ryan Reynolds (and maybe even Travis Kelce); and an abhorrent Hollywood Reporter cover story painting Justin Baldoni as a feminist who might not know any better because of his religious-cult upbringing. And this is just the short list.
