The celebration will follow the theme of Lively’s summer, which has included lots of “quiet” quality time with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and their four children: daughters James, 10, Inez, 8, and Betty, 5, as well as son Olin, 2.
The “Gossip Girl” star has been “having a great summer,” a source told the outlet, noting that “it’s mostly been about family time.”
The source added that “they’ve also traveled as a family.”
According to the source, spending time with her spouse and kids “unwinds her,” as a second source stressed that Lively is particularly “grateful for Ryan’s support over the past year.”
In December 2024, four months after the premiere of their movie, “It Ends With Us,” Lively sued Baldoni for allegedly sexually harassing her on the set of the film before he and his team orchestrated a smear campaign against her.
In the latest development in the ongoing case, bombshell text messages and emails allegedly proving that Baldoni, 41, and his team plotted a reputational takedown of Lively were unsealed by the judge overseeing the case.
“There is an overwhelming amount of evidence documenting the smear campaign instigated by Justin Baldoni, [his publicist] Melissa Nathan, [social media guru] Jed Wallace and the rest of the Wayfarer Parties,” Lively’s rep told the Daily Mail on Monday.
“All you need to do is look at Melissa Nathan’s texts, Baldoni’s responses and Jed Wallace’s ‘services.’”
Baldoni, who also directed the movie, has denied the allegations. In January, he countersued Lively and Reynolds, 48, for defamation and extortion, but his lawsuit was tossed out five months later.
Lively and Baldoni are expected to testify when her case is tried in March 2026.
