Overview
- Lively attended the FIFA World Cup final on Sunday and posted selfies from MetLife Stadium showing her with friends Libby Glazer, Kendall Arin Glazer and Emma Gray.
- She was notably absent from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s July 3 wedding, a detail widely reported as a sign the pair’s friendship has fractured.
- The social split traces to Lively’s December 2024 lawsuit against director Justin Baldoni and his countersuit, which led to judges dismissing major claims and a surprise settlement in May 2026.
- In mid‑July Lively filed a motion asking the court to make Baldoni pay about $8,035,040.88 in attorneys’ fees and costs and Baldoni’s lawyers have filed papers opposing that request.
- Reports linking the legal fight to the personal rift rely heavily on court filings, social media signals and unnamed insiders, and the ongoing fee dispute keeps parts of the case active and publicly visible.
