One week after settling her legal battle with Justin Baldoni<\/strong><\/a>, Blake Lively<\/strong><\/a> was publicly praised by husband Ryan Reynolds<\/strong><\/a> in a tender Mother\u2019s Day post.<\/p>\n

Reynolds, 49, took to his Instagram Stories<\/a> on Sunday, May 10, to pay tribute to Lively, 38, after she and her It Ends With Us<\/em> costar and director, 42, reached a settlement<\/a> prior to their scheduled trial commencing on Monday, May 18.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appreciate this mother beyond measure,\u201d the Deadpool & Wolverine<\/em> star began in text pasted over two photos of the couple enjoying time together. \u201cShe is kind. She is fearless. She\u2019s the absolute love of my life \u2014 and to our four little kids, she\u2019s the life of their love.\u201d (The couple share daughters James, 11, Inez, 9, and Betty, 6, and son Olin, 2.)<\/p>\n

Lively, who worked with Baldoni from 2023 to 2024 ahead of It Ends With Us<\/em>\u2019 release in August 2024, had filed a lawsuit against him on December 31, 2024. Her lawsuit<\/a> had alleged that Baldoni sexually harassed her, fostered a hostile work environment and orchestrated a smear campaign against her, claims Baldoni repeatedly denied before filing his own dismissed countersuit.<\/p>\n

Baldoni and Lively reached their out-of-court settlement on Monday, May 4.<\/p>\n

Reynolds\u2019 post, which was set to Temper Trap\u2019s \u201cSweet Disposition,\u201d came just after Lively shared her own Mother\u2019s Day tribute<\/a> to her mom, Elaine Lively<\/strong>. \u201cHappy Mother\u2019s Day to the woman who chooses joy, every day, no matter what,\u201d the Simple Favor<\/em> star wrote via her Instagram Stories over a photo of her mother. \u201cThe strength and defiance in that is something I\u2019ll always appreciate, especially the older I get. She makes every day special for everyone around her. Especially her babies and grandbabies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lively\u2019s post continued, \u201cShe isn\u2019t just beautiful, she creates beauty, with her hands, her stories, her playfulness, her creativity, her incredible ingenuity and her love. I\u2019m so grateful, now and forever to have been shaped by your heart full of love, optimism and magic. You make the ordinary extraordinary. I love you. Thank you mama.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lively and Baldoni released a joint statement via their attorneys that announced their surprise settlement last week. \u201cThe end product \u2014 the movie It Ends With Us<\/em> \u2014 is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life. Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors \u2014 and all survivors \u2014 is a goal that we stand behind,\u201d the statement, obtained by Us Weekly<\/em>, read. \u201cWe acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms. Lively deserved to be heard.\u201d<\/p>\n
