NEW YORK — It could end with a mediated settlement, as “It Ends With Us” co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni spent Wednesday in a New York courthouse for their court-ordered settlement conference.

The “Gossip Girl” alum, 38, and 42-year-old Baldoni attended mediation talks in the lower Manhattan courthouse, seated with their legal teams in separate rooms on the 14th floor, with a small group of reporters waiting outside.

Lively in late December 2024 accused her 42-year-old costar and director of having sexually harassed her during production of the blockbuster domestic violence drama. Lively accused Baldoni and his associates of having waged a retaliatory smear campaign against her.

Judge Lewis J. Liman has since tossed both the $400 million defamation suit and $250 million libel lawsuit brought by Baldoni, who has denied all Lively’s allegations. Baldoni had sued Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and publicist Leslie Sloane for defamation, as sued The New York Times over its coverage of Lively’s claims.

Wednesday’s court date — initially reported by TMZ and People — comes on the heels of private communications between Lively and A-listers like Taylor Swift being made public as part of the unsealing of a trove of court documents. Also included amid the starry communications were those from Reynolds, as well as emails from Lively to her “The Town” co-star and director Ben Affleck.

News broke Tuesday that Baldoni and his wife Emily had put their Ojai home on the market for $8.9 million last weekend.

Lively and Baldoni’s trial — previously scheduled to start next month — is currently set to begin May 18.
