The Texas state court has also set a tentative March 2026 trial date and intends to consolidate the crisscrossing lawsuits between Lively and her 'It Ends With Us' director and co-star, who is suing both Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds.

Blake Lively demanded the court impose a gag order on Justin Baldoni's lawyer after footage from the "It Ends With Us" set was released to the public amid ongoing legal proceedings.

The legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni won't go hot until early next year, but the "It Ends With Us" co-stars' respective legal teams will meet in court very soon, as the federal judge plans to hear arguments around a gag order request as early as next week.
