Blake Lively Voice Memo To Justin Baldoni About “It Ends With Us” Schedule Is Unsealed
A voice memo that Blake Lively privately sent to Justin Baldoni talking about the filming schedule of “It Ends with Us” in February 2023 has been unsealed while the two are still litigating their case.
In this message — which People got hold of — Lively, at first, said she wanted to “put something on your radar” even that she initially didn’t want to bring up the matter, but her husband, Ryan Reynolds, convinced her that since she and Baldoni had gained each other’s trust, she should reveal that.
Lively mentioned that she was addressing Baldoni “in a friendly manner,” and she was explaining that she was getting overwhelmed with the idea of shooting the movie and Proxy one after another just after giving birth to Olin. Besides, she just briefly mentioned the situation of a baby nurse.
Blake Lively Opens Up About Stress of Double Filming Schedule in Leaked Voice Memo
Throughout her voice memo, Blake Lively expressed her worries about a production schedule that was too tight, with the main point being that she had made a commitment to the other film and thus wouldn’t go back on her word.
“The only reason that I’m doing [that movie] before is because I gave them my word and I wouldn’t go back on that,” she said. “But having a week off in between, it’s just a lot.”
Lively, who is also mother to daughters James, 11, Inez, 9, and Betty, 6, revealed that filming back-to-back in March and April was like a return to the time when she was sleep-deprived after giving birth. She also noted that it was physically draining.
” Shooting in April, shooting in March is just too soon after having a baby and not sleeping and wanting to be in my best shape,” she said.
She further confided how the emotional impact of a separation from her husband was affecting both of them.
“Ryan and I have also been really stressed about spending a month apart. … The most we’ve ever done is less than two weeks,” she told us.
She said that the problem of their difficult situation didn’t just rest on Baldoni, and that it was “so not [Baldoni’s] problem.”
Blake Lively Had Requested Justin Baldoni to Keep the Voice Memo Private While She Was Suggesting a Possible Schedule Shift
The voice message that was disclosed without restriction revealed that Blake Lively was emphasizing that she was not requesting the alteration of the production plan, but she was simply bringing up the matter that if an earlier start was possible then it would be helpful.
“Our schedule is our schedule, I’m not trying to move anything,” she insisted. “But if by chance you’re like, ‘Oh my God, if I could go two weeks earlier, that would actually be great,’ then amazing. If it is what it is, then it is what it is.”
In the end, Lively requested Baldoni to “keep it between us” and she also joked that voice memos were her main source of social interaction at the moment.
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s reps didn’t get back to Page Six with comments initially.
Citing to the article, Lively was filming Proxy March to May 2023. Then she started filming It Ends With Us May to June 2023 and the writers’ strike postponed the rest of the production until January 2024.
“It Ends With Us” Feud Rumors Increased before Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s Legal Battle Escalated
There were already speculations among fans about the feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni when the movie, It Ends With Us, which is a screen version of Colleen Hoover’s novel, premiered in August 2024. Not only that, their lack of interaction while promoting the film made people to further speculate.

The feud keeps on being in the limelight because of newly unsealed texts and emails—some of the conversations even involved Taylor Swift, Ben Affleck, and other celebrities—which, along with Lively’s voice recording to Baldoni, have caused a resurgence of social media buzz.
