“They were close“, is the line that’s buzzing the internet at the moment. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s legal battle has been through some strange things before arriving at this statement. An insider revealed (via Rob Shuter) that the two’s chemistry was undeniable from the very beginning.
One source said,
There was a spark, a playfulness. Everyone noticed, including Ryan [Reynolds].
Hereon, what started as being co-stars, did it develop into something more than just friends, is the real question to answer.
What Really Sparked Tension Between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni?
It is said that when Lively and Baldoni met for the first time for discussing former’s role in It Ends With Us, they hit it off instantly. The moment allegedly sealed the deal when Baldoni shared a personal detail about himself. It was when Lively was pregnant with Olin.
A source revealed (via Rob Shuter),
Blake agreed to the role AFTER that conversation. She literally signed on after he got that… personal.
The co-stars were reportedly really close. They shared the same energy, the level of intimacy and tension, which made things look obvious in their circle. It is further reported that Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ close circle of friends were also talking about the same.
Therefore, what started as a normal meet-up turned into a complicated and confused dynamic, with now legal battles hovering over the stars. However, all of this should be taken with a grain of salt.

So far, given the confrontations and legal rounds in the case, neither of them has spoken publicly about the current situation. Even fans keep looking for hints in interviews and on social media.
This might be one of the major turnpoints in the case. Though recently Baldoni claimed that Lively set him up in a trap, she refused to use a body double during an intimate scene (via People).
Until any one of them decides to address it directly, it’s hard to say in which direction the case is really headed. For now, it seems like a quiet Hollywood mystery, with fading away or resurfacing when either of them chooses to share their side of the story.
