Amidst her ongoing legal tussle with Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively, the 37-year-old actress-turned-producer, sought a glimmer of hope on Monday, April 7th, by sharing a poignant message on her Instagram Stories. The post featured an enchanting image: delicate flowers perched on a tree branch, their petals kissed by shimmering droplets of water, all set to the melodious tune of "Little April Shower" from the iconic 1942 animated film, Bambi.
Captioning the serene snapshot, Lively quoted the melancholy donkey Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh, saying, "It never hurts to keep looking for sunshine," alongside an illustration of the doleful donkey. She further embellished her message with an animated rendering of the word "April," adorned with raindrops gracing a bloom, adding a touch of whimsical optimism amidst her legal storm.
Recently, Lively has been sharing glimpses of her vibrant promotions for Another Simple Favor, set to stream on Prime Video from May 1st, at the SXSW Film Festival premiere on social media. Directed by Paul Feig, this sequel to the 2018 mystery thriller A Simple Favor reunites her with Anna Kendrick, sparking excitement among fans. Additionally, she posted the trailer for Secrets of the Penguins, a National Geographic docuseries she narrates, which premieres on April 20th, showcasing her versatility and dedication to various projects.
In December, legal expert Gregory Doll, an attorney and partner at Doll Amir & Eley in Los Angeles who is not involved in representing either Lively or Baldoni, shared insights with PEOPLE. He suggested that a settlement in their legal dispute could likely materialize before March 2026. However, Doll cautioned, "It's a contentious battle, and I foresee it escalating further in intensity."
