Overview
- Emily Baldoni posted a black-and-white wedding photo with the caption “Marriage: still my favorite lift. 😜,” which many social media users on Monday read as a reference to Blake Lively’s allegation about a weight question on the It Ends With Us set.
- Followers and commenters praised or mocked the caption as a pointed remark, and the post has renewed public focus on the dispute even though the main civil case was resolved by a confidential settlement in May 2026.
- Legal proceedings continue over money rather than underlying claims, with Blake Lively seeking roughly $7.5 million to more than $8 million in attorneys’ fees from Justin Baldoni according to court filings.
- A federal judge recently ordered Justin Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios to pay $171,616 to The New York Times in legal fees related to his dismissed suit against the newspaper, showing courts are still issuing fee rulings tied to the wider litigation.
- Reports and court documents point to trainer Don Saladino’s statement about a director’s question on Lively’s weight as a recurring factual detail that helps explain why the Instagram ‘lift’ line drew immediate attention and commentary.
