Blake Lively posted a smiling selfie with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, during a family baking session amid their legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
The “Gossip Girl” alum shared snaps via her Instagram Story on Sunday of cupcakes and sugar cookies that she, the “Deadpool” star and their four children — James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, and Olin, 2 — made together.
They decorated the cupcakes with icing to look like horses, while the cookies were shaped like the farm animal and also covered in brown, white and black icing.
“The family that bakes together… Stays sick on buttercream together,” Lively, 37, wrote atop one of the photos, which was set to the tune of the Big Three’s “All the Pretty Little Horses.”
In the last photo that the mom of four shared, she and Reynolds, 48, took a break from baking for a quick selfie.
The couple, who tied the knot on a South Carolina plantation in 2012, smiled for the snap as Lively placed her head on her husband’s shoulder.
The actress enjoyed some much-needed family time as her contentious feud with Baldoni, 41, continues.
In December 2024, Lively filed a lawsuit against the director, alleging he had sexually harassed her on the set of their 2024 romantic drama, “It Ends With Us.”
The “Age of Adaline” star also claimed Baldoni and his team had orchestrated a smear campaign against her.
The “Jane the Virgin” star has denied all the claims.
In January, Baldoni filed a $400 million defamation and extortion lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds and her publicist, Leslie Sloane.
The “A Simple Favor” star’s attorneys last month asked the judge presiding over the case to have certain evidence categorized as “Attorney’s Eyes Only,” which would limit what the public sees.
In response, Baldoni’s legal team accused Lively of trying “to shield, from public view, documents and information exchanged herein.”
Last week, a judge approved Lively’s request for a protective order, meaning Baldoni could not leak sensitive information to the public by law.
However, a loophole in the protective order states that “the court is unlikely to seal or otherwise afford confidential treatment” for documents cited during the trial.
As a result, the public will have access to submitted discoveries used in the courtroom during their trial, which is set to begin in March 2026.
