Another Simple Favor, on Sunday, April 27, was reported by PEOPLE.
The 37-year-old actress looked effortlessly stunning in a light-coloured, geometric draped gown, teamed with bold earrings, statement bracelets, and her signature golden locks left loose. Walking the red carpet alongside her were co-stars Anna Kendrick and director Paul Feig, as they celebrated the upcoming sequel to A Simple Favor, which first hit screens in 2018.
Ryan wasn’t far from her side either. Looking sharp in a grey suit, he posed happily with Blake, with the couple flashing beaming smiles for the cameras, putting on a united and joyful front despite everything going on behind the scenes.
Blake’s glitzy appearance comes just as her ongoing legal battle with her It Ends with Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni continues to make headlines. The Gossip Girl alum filed a lawsuit against Baldoni back in December, accusing him of sexual harassment and launching a retaliatory smear campaign.
Baldoni didn’t take long to fire back, countersuing Blake, Ryan, and her publicist Leslie Sloane, along with Sloane’s PR firm, Vision. His claims include civil extortion, defamation, and more. It’s a messy, high-profile battle that isn’t set to reach trial until March 2026 — so there’s still a long road ahead.
Despite the mounting pressure, Blake has been keeping her head high. Just a few days before the premiere, she subtly touched on her ongoing legal woes during her speech at the TIME100 Gala on Thursday, April 24, where she was honoured as one of TIME’s 100 most influential people of 2025.
“I have so much to say about the last two years of my life, but tonight is not the forum,” she said, offering just a hint at the turmoil she’s been navigating without delving into the painful details.
Between red carpets, legal showdowns, and public appearances, Blake and Ryan are showing the world exactly how to stick together when things get tough. From the smiles they shared at the premiere, it’s clear they’re determined not to let anything dim their sparkle.
