Blake Lively joined her husband Ryan Reynolds while making her first public outing since demanding a mini trial with Justin Baldoni to win ‘significant’ damages.
The 38-year-old actress, who recently shared a photo of the Deadpool actor toting a designer bag, was seen treating herself to a frozen yogurt cup with Reynolds in NYC on Wednesday.
The couple enjoyed the dessert while sitting in the backseat of a sleek vehicle with the window rolled down.
Lively’s blonde locks flowed down naturally past her shoulders while also opting for a pair of flashy earrings.
Her husband, whom she tied the knot with in 2012, sat next to her in the spacious car and sported a light blue shirt for the daytime excursion.
Reynolds jumped to his Instagram stories to offer a glimpse at the tasty treats they picked up at the Go Greek Yogurt chain.

Lively reposted the image to her own page and added the caption: ‘@gogreekyogurt The new, limited pineapple flavor is bonkers. It needs to be a staple.’
She added praying hand emojis as the track Hot In The City by Billy Idol played in the background.
The two stars have been spending time together in recent weeks, with the Gossip Girl alum also sharing photos of Reynolds to her Instagram account.
Earlier this week, Lively uploaded a snap of the actor as he sported a pricy $26,000 Hermes handbag.
While his face was not seen, the star carried a light brown, mini Hermes Kelly bag over his shoulder.
In text added towards the bottom, Lively jokingly penned to her followers: ‘my account has officially turned into an onlyfans.’
Reynolds also made an appearance on her Instagram account last week as she ‘drooled’ over his muscles in another post.

Lively flashed a cheerful smile towards the camera as her husband enjoyed a tasty snack. She tagged the actor in the image while also simply captioning it with the word, ‘delicious.’
Reynolds showed off his muscular arms wearing a white tank top as well as a pair of tan trousers. The star appeared to mirror Baldoni’s signature tank top look which he has sported publicly in the past.
Last month, Reynolds applauded his ‘fearless’ wife in a sweet Mother’s Day tribute on his own Instagram stories.
One snap showed the pair sharing an embrace and wrote, ‘I appreciate this mother beyond measure. She is kind. She is fearless.
‘She’s the absolute love of my life – and to our four little kids, she’s the life of their love.’
Another photo captured the pair lounging outside and the actress later reposted the tribute alongside her own message, ‘I happen to be pretty fond of you too.’
Lively and Reynolds are parents to four children: James, 11, Inez, nine, Betty, six and Olin, three.
Last month in May, it was revealed that both she and Baldoni settled their explosive legal battle before the May 18 trial date.
The actress received no payout from Baldoni, however, Lively has now claimed that she’s entitled to a mini trial for damages against Baldoni.

Lively said that she wanted to call experts to quantify her losses from Baldoni’s failed $400 million defamation lawsuit against her in a hearing in federal court in Manhattan on Monday.
Her lawyers said that the sum she was seeking would be ‘very significant’ because of her reputational harm.
But Baldoni’s lawyers objected and said that it would amount to an ‘alternative trial.’
Even the judge at the court in New York appeared to be pleading with Lively to reconsider, telling her lawyers: ‘Your client does have the ability to end this.’
Lively wants her legal fees paid plus costs, along with triple damages and punitive damages on top.
During the hearing, Lively’s lawyer Michael Gottlieb did not put an exact figure on the amount of damages they would be seeking.
However, they would need expert testimony to ‘quantify the reach of the allegation from the complaint [by Baldoni] that branded Miss Lively a liar.’
Gottlieb agreed when Judge Liman asked if that also included ‘lost job opportunities from the alleged spread of this and harm to reputation?’
Judge Liman appeared dubious to such evidence being presented to the court outside of a trial. He said: ‘All of which without a jury?’ Gottlieb said that would be ‘entirely appropriate.’
Baldoni’s lawyer Ellyn Garofalo said there was ‘no evidence of any sort’ that Lively was harmed by his defamation lawsuit.

She said that ‘reopening’ the case would amount to an ‘alternative trial’ which she suggested could take a long time to resolve.
At times during the hearing, Judge Liman appeared to be grappling with how to interpret the law, which only had one or two precedents given how new it was.
Speaking after the hearing, McCawley stated Lively was determined to press on and said, ‘The damages [to Lively] are very significant.
‘When you look at the harm that was caused to her, that’s what it’s meant to compensate, along with the attorney’s fees and costs, and then the statute mandatory provides for treble.’
Lively and Baldoni have reportedly spent $60 million on lawyers during their legal war, meaning the sum will likely be well into the millions.
The actress had sought $160 million in damages after suing Baldoni for sexual harassment and launching a ‘smear campaign against her after she spoke up against his alleged conduct on the set of It Ends With Us, which was released in August 2024.
In April a judge dismissed most of her case including all the sexual harassment allegations and weeks later both sides reached a settlement with no money changing hands.
Baldoni filed his lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and the New York Times in January 2025, a month after she sued him.
