Blake Lively’s Shocking Date Night After Taylor Swift Dumps Their Friendship in Fiery Feud

BBG News

Blake Lively sought comfort in familiar circles as she stepped out for an evening socializing on Sunday, following our exclusive report from DailyMail.com that Taylor Swift has decided to end their friendship.

37-year-old actress from Gossip Girl, who is married to Ryan Reynolds, chose to spend a romantic evening out together amidst the friendship turmoil, visiting the Soho district of Manhattan for their date.

It seemed like only the two of them were out for the night, but Blake has recently formed a group again with actress Salma Hayek and has been leaning on her sisters for support over the past few days.

After an exclusive tip-off from a source, it has been reported by DailyMail.com that Blake and Ryan went on a date night, following rumors that Blake’s close companion Taylor has supposedly ended their friendship due to feelings of being taken advantage of.

According to an exclusive DailyMail.com report, it was alleged that the actress from “Simple Favors” had threatened to disclose compromising private texts between her and Taylor Swift, demanding that Swift publicly support her in her ongoing dispute with her co-star and director Justin Baldoni from “It Ends With Us,” unless Swift complied.

In a thrilling turn of events that had me on the edge of my seat, a blockbuster disclosure surfaced in a legal document submitted by Baldoni’s legal team on Wednesday – all in reply to Lively’s motion to nullify their subpoena directed towards the singer. As an ardent fan, I can hardly contain my excitement!

The court documents claim that the former Gossip Girl actress attempted to persuade Swift to release a supportive statement publicly and recommended deleting their text conversations as she became embroiled in a growing legal dispute with Baldoni, who is 41 years old.

Blake opted for a breezy, sunny style, showcasing a delightful white dress adorned with flowers and matching it with sharp-toed, cheetah-patterned Louboutin sandals, while publicly displaying affection by holding her spouse’s hand.

She maintained a relaxed appearance wearing a white denim jacket, while injecting vibrancy with a mini bag adorned with gradients of pink, red, and purple rhinestones.

She let her dirty-blond hair whip about in the breeze and drape over one shoulders.

Ryan paired the dress she was wearing with a cream-colored, patterned camp shirt. He donned this shirt over a white tank top and rolled up the sleeves on his arms to reveal his well-toned muscles.

The actor who plays both Deadpool and Wolverine finished off his ensemble with a pair of casual black pants featuring drawstrings, white high-top sneakers, and trendy round-framed spectacles.

On Friday, as if maintaining a sense of routine, the two stars seemed unfazed, while Blake chose to disregard rumors about their strained relationship. Even amidst these whispers, she playfully hinted at upcoming surprises for her followers by cryptically stating that ‘something exciting is on the horizon.’

Following a dinner outing in New York City on a Tuesday night with her old friend Salma Hayek and her half-sister, actress Robyn Lively (known for her role in Twin Peaks), Salma discussed their friendship with E! News.

She shared with E! News that she has been friends with Blake and Ryan for quite some time, and her relationship with their four kids – James (age 10), Inez (8 years old), Betty (5 years old), and little Olin (2 years old) – is very close.

She mentioned that the young ones had an opportunity to join her in playing, while they also got to meet their Aunt Sally, as she put it.

As a devoted fan, I was thrilled to learn directly from the talented Mexican-origin celebrity that Blake and Ryan’s kids, particularly their young son Olin, have been acquiring some Spanish skills.

Back in 2017 at Variety’s Power of Women event, I admiringly commended Blake Lively for her bravery.

Salma remarked about Blake, “He’s the first person I’ve encountered who, at such a young age, possessed such a strong sense of self and incredible courage.

As a lifestyle aficionado, I can tell you that while Blake and Salma are known for maintaining a private life, their bond dates back to the mid-2010s. This was when they shared the screen in Oliver Stone’s gripping film, Savages (2012).

In this collaborative work, where John Travolta, Benicio del Toro, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Taylor Kitsch are among the cast members, Salma plays a ruthless leader of a Mexican drug cartel who abducts Blake’s character, who happens to be the girlfriend of Americans attempting to manage their own drug business.

In addition, it was advantageous for Salma that she developed a friendship with Blake’s spouse, following their on-screen partnership in The Hitman’s Bodyguard (2017) and its 2021 sequel, as this connection might have helped her role in the movies.

According to an exclusive report from DailyMail.com, sources indicate that Blake has faced the end of his friendship with Taylor Swift because she feels she was taken advantage of by him.

This past month, a spokesperson for the renowned pop artist issued a fiery statement to DailyMail.com, following her summons as a potential witness in the ongoing court case between Blake and Justin Baldoni.

It was stated that Taylor Swift had no physical presence on the movie set, she played no part in casting or creative choices, she did not compose the film’s music, she didn’t review any edits or provide feedback, and she only watched ‘It Ends With Us’ after its public premiere, which coincided with her traveling extensively around the world in 2023 and 2024 for her record-breaking tour.

The recent claim that Blake is said to have threatened to disclose Taylor’s private text messages offers additional insight into the deterioration of their formerly tight bond, a friendship now seemingly frozen in its icy state due to the actress’s ongoing legal battle with the actor.

Since that point, both Swift and Lively have been served with a subpoena over their communications related to the case, even as the celebrity has tried to keep her distance from the controversy.

In a letter to the judge, which DailyMail.com acquired, Baldoni’s legal representatives, headed by Bryan Freedman, countered Lively’s misleading assertions by stating that the subpoena aimed at Swift is not seeking unnecessary or irrelevant documents.

As a seasoned lifestyle expert, I advocate for the pursuit of facts concerning potential interference with witnesses and the destruction of evidence, particularly in the case where Lively allegedly pressured Swift to take a public stance aligned with hers.

As per the letter, it is stated that Baldoni’s legal team was informed that Miss Lively had allegedly asked Taylor Swift to erase their text messages. These messages reportedly held details spanning more than a decade of friendship, romantic involvements, and personal secrets.

Additionally, it is stated that Michael Gottlieb, Lively’s lawyer, reached out to Swift’s attorney and suggested that Swift issue a statement expressing support for Lively. This communication implied that if Swift declined to make such a statement, private messages of a personal nature belonging to Lively might be disclosed.

In response, it is reported that Swift’s representatives countered Lively’s alleged threatening and seemingly extortionate messages, which were directed at Gottlieb, as stated by Freedman.

According to the letter, Baldoni’s team is trying to acquire these communications through a subpoena because they could prove an effort to frighten or pressure a witness who has relevant information for this court case.

In early 2023, Swift found herself entangled in a high-profile legal drama when Baldoni filed a multi-million dollar countersuit against Rachel Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, alleging defamation, after they were featured in one of Swift’s songs titled ‘My Tears Ricochet’, which was included in the soundtrack of the 2024 film “It Ends With Us”.

A series of intense texts from Baldoni’s grievance disclosed that Lively had playfully called the popular singer and her spouse “my dragons” as a means to assert dominance regarding the failed movie “It Ends With Us.

Ever since that incident, I’ve noticed that Taylor Swift seems to be making a conscious effort to separate herself from the controversy and her connection with Blake Lively too.

Those actions encompassed distancing Lively from her close group, which coincides with Travis Kelce choosing to no longer follow Reynolds on Instagram.

The latest development adds another unexpected turn to a high-profile case involving numerous prominent figures, resulting in several notable courtroom surprises such as Lively’s dragon allegation.

The mother of four has faced allegations that she didn’t read the book the movie was adapted from until after filming had begun, and during the premiere, she made Baldoni and his family stay in the basement because she refused to be near him due to her reluctance to share a room with him.

Additionally, some of the accusations against Baldoni are starting to seem questionable, including the assertion that he had supposedly nestled his face into her neck and remarked “you smell so good” during a dance sequence.

Initially, the mother of four asserted that the recording was made without microphones, but Raw Footage acquired by DailyMail.com revealed the sound was indeed active, suggesting that the discussion focused not on the alleged claims, but rather on the aroma of Lively’s self-tanner instead.

The focus is shifting towards identifying other individuals who might be summoned for this case. It’s likely that Reynolds’ communications will be examined by Baldoni’s team.

Here’s my take: Last week, I found myself caught up in some intriguing whispers about my beloved trio – Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds, and the legendary Hugh Jackman. Word on the street suggested they were all under scrutiny, dealing with some tough legal questioning.

According to reports, Swift appears to be upset about being involved in the case and hasn’t been seen in photos alongside Lively for quite a while now.

A week ago, Travis Kelce, her partner, stopped following Reynolds on social media, adding more evidence to the suggestion that the relationships between their respective couples may be strained, given that Reynolds is currently basking in the joy of his soccer team, Wrexham, being promoted to the English Football League Championship.

Despite it being improbable that Kelce will receive a subpoena, Stephanie Jones, a publicist, has already been served one, and she’s also involved in a lawsuit initiated by Baldoni. This is due to the allegation that she divulged a phone belonging to Baldoni’s current and former publicists, Jennifer Abel.

In a later development, the texts exchanged between Abel and PR specialist Melissa Nathan on their phones became the foundation for allegations by Lively about a defamatory campaign. However, Baldoni’s group countered this claim by asserting that the messages were manipulated, and they subsequently published all the unedited conversations.

In legal documents, Jones contended that she didn’t voluntarily give away the texts as a favor; instead, she claimed she surrendered the device following the receipt of a subpoena last October.

In my expertise as a lifestyle enthusiast, I must clarify a recent situation involving Blake Lively. It appears that her statements may have led to an awkward moment for her following DailyMail.com’s disclosure of a peculiar turn of events. You see, the subpoena her company Vanzan received originated from what is now known as a ‘fraudulent’ lawsuit against parties labeled Does 1–10. This lawsuit, it seems, was merely a sham and was withdrawn before any allegations related to sexual harassment were even brought forward.

Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, fiercely reacted to the disclosure, labeling the lawsuit filed by Vanzan as a ‘fraudulent claim.’

In a statement, Freedman clarified that neither Ms. Lively nor Mr. Reynolds, the co-owners of the firm Vanzan, were involved in this matter, as they had always been aware.

The intention behind this baseless legal action was to gain authority to issue subpoenas without supervision or examination. This move prevented my clients from challenging the legitimacy, purpose, and extent of the subpoena.

‘This situation is far from ordinary. Court officers are expected to uphold truthfulness towards the court and avoid filing baseless lawsuits, which lack any foundation in reality or legal precedent.’

‘This was done in bad faith and constitutes a flagrant abuse of process.’

Previously, DailyMail.com disclosed that the renowned vocalist faced deep sorrow upon being summoned as a witness in the ongoing legal matter.

Although Swift appeared to maintain a cheerful demeanor in Philadelphia over the weekend, attending a Mother’s Day lunch with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and their mothers, it’s clear that she has been deeply affected by the ongoing legal situation. She is reportedly quite distressed at this point.

And not least because she feels betrayed and ‘exploited’ by her longtime friend, Lively.

Up until this year, Swift counted Lively among her closest confidantes. 

They reside very close by, barely requiring a stone’s toss, within the fashionable Tribeca district of New York City; Taylor Swift serves as godmother to Blake Lively’s trio of daughters.

However, relations deteriorated in December as Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, her fellow actor and director in the It Ends With Us film adaptation based on the well-known Colleen Hoover book.

In the coming month, when Baldoni filed a countersuit alleging defamation against Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, Swift found herself unwittingly involved in the situation.

Contained in Baldoni’s filing were screenshots of text messages and emails that named Swift. 

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I might casually rephrase the situation like this: In an informal conversation, it’s been reported that I once playfully referred to myself as Daenerys Targaryen, a beloved character from Game of Thrones, and jokingly called Taylor Swift one of my ‘dragon companions.’

Additionally, Baldoni stated that it was reported that Swift attended a crucial gathering concerning the film, orchestrated by Lively and Reynolds within their Manhattan penthouse.

According to a reliable source, Swift herself showed up to discover that the meeting was already in progress, and she played no role in it.
