Blake Lively's sisters rally around her as she's iced out by A-list pals Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid
Blake Lively 's sisters have rallied around her after she was seemingly iced out by her famous pals Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid amid her legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
The Gossip Girl star, 37, shared a photo with Robyn Lively, 53, and Lori Lively, 58, as they attended Guy Aroch and Anna Palma's photo exhibit at the International Center for Photography (ICP) in New York City.
Blake shared a selfie of the trio to her Instagram Stories on Saturday, flashing bright smiles for the camera.
The actress added a heart sticker with the word 'sisters' in it.
Blake has been leaning on her family and recently enjoyed another dinner outing with Robyn, amid reports Tylor and Gigi have cut ties with the star.
Both Robyn and Lori are also actresses. Blake's older brother Eric Lively, 43, is an actor as well.
She also shared a post from the exhibit, gushing over the photographers.
'Guy Aroch and Anna Palma and their family have been friends I've cherished for over half my life. Celebrating them and their bold mark was what we came for, what we stayed for was the electrical joy they create when you're in their orbit,' she wrote in the caption.
'You see it in their photos. To be near them is to be your most vibrant, happy self. I love you Guy & Anna. Congrats on your exhibition @icp NYC running May 15-24 ❤️❤️❤️'
Elsewhere on her Instagram Stories, Blake revealed she was invited to a '90s party' as she showed off her 90s inspired outfit.
'Don't invite me to a 90s party if you want grunge. I live and die by glitter pop. 4lyfe. 143,' she captioned the image.
Her long blonde hair was pulled back with colorful butterfly clips.
She wore a boy band t-shirt with a plaid jacket wrapped around her waist.
The It Ends With Us star also rocked a black choker and a silver necklace that spelled out 'baby.'
She also posted a photo of an old Spice Girls watch.
'I've had this watch since I was 10. This is the problem for hoarders. Moments of validation when you have a reason to say: "See! I knew why I kept this for 27 years!! For tonight!!" Also. Let's be real. This watch is a treasure. And my BABY necklace that I've had equally as long.'
Blake appears to be looking close to home for support amid a reported rift in her friendship with Taylor and Gigi.
Earlier this week a source exclusively told DailyMail.com that Swift 'is done' with the actress, and that their mutual pal Gigi, 30, is also cutting ties.
It comes following reports that Lively allegedly threatened to leak embarrassing private texts from Swift unless the pop star agreed to publicly back Lively in her legal feud with Justin Baldoni, 41.
Their friendship has gone cold amid Lively's high-stakes lawsuit battle with actor Baldoni. Last week, Swift was dramatically subpoenaed in the case, despite attempts to distance herself from the furor.
'There is no recovering from this. Their friendship is done,' the insider said.
'What Blake has done was exploit the Godmother of her children and manipulate the public into thinking that she was watching out for her best interests,' the source added.
Swift is the godmother to Lively's three eldest children with Ryan Reynolds, 48: James, 10, Inez, eight, and Betty, five.
'Taylor is done and Gigi is done with Blake, and she has no one to blame but herself. Taylor is a girl's girl and she loves her friends. She will bend over backward for them but when that trust is broken there is no going back,' the insider added.
The Eras Tour star was sent legal notice last week by Baldoni's lawyer to be a witness. Taylor's camp slammed the subpoena as they argued that she was not very involved in the drama on set of Lively and Baldoni's 2024 film It Ends With Us.
Gigi is said to be standing by Taylor.
'Gigi has always had a closer friendship with Taylor and stands by her,' a source told Us Weekly.
'She has been a very loyal friend to Taylor, and they have been best friends for a decade now.'
The insider noted that Hadid 'hasn't necessarily chosen sides' between Lively and Swift and the current status of their friend circle is a 'reflection of the closeness her and Taylor have shared over the years.'
Swift introduced Hadid to Lively, the source explained, adding that Hadid and Lively 'really haven't been as close in almost a year' but there are 'no hard feelings' between the two.
'As Taylor has started to distance herself from Blake, Gigi has done the same,' the insider said. 'The shift wasn't abrupt, but gradual and organic change in dynamics.'
'They haven't been in touch much this year and it does have everything to do with the lawsuit,' the source said of Gigi and Blake.
Last month, the friendship between Gigi and Blake came under scrutiny when The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star skipped the model's 30th birthday party.
Gigi celebrated alongside her sister Bella Hadid and their parents Yolanda and Mohammed, and the guest list also featured many supermodels and actress Anne Hathaway.
And Taylor reportedly snuck into Hadid's star-studded soirée without Travis Kelce by her side, according to gossip site DeuxMoi.
Two days later, journalist Kjersti Flaa, who claimed she was bullied by Lively in a resurfaced video from 2016, reacted to Lively and Reynolds' lack of attendance at Hadid's birthday party on her podcast Flaasome Talk.
Flaa further speculated that Hadid and her boyfriend Bradley Cooper, 50, did not invite the couple as they are 'probably waiting to be subpoenaed' in the ongoing legal battle between Lively and Baldoni.
On February 5, 2025, Baldoni's attorney Bryan Freedman shared a statement via TMZ: 'Anyone that reasonably has information that can provide evidence in this case is going to be deposed.'
Flaa claimed that Hadid and Cooper appear to have been a little involved, but involved nonetheless, in It Ends With Us.
For that reason, they could dragged into the legal drama and be summoned to court.
The Maestro actor, 50, was given a special shoutout in the credits of the movie.
Other stars that were acknowledged included Swift and her brother Austin Swift and her songwriting collaborator Aaron Dessner as well as Britney Spears and director Shawn Levy among many more.
In Flaa's Sunday podcast episode, she also brought up the rumored tension between two of Taylor Swift's best friends — Lively and Selena Gomez.
She noted that Swift is best friends with Lively and Gomez, but her best friends do not appear to be friends at all and have never even been pictured together.
This comes shortly after an insider exclusively told the Daily Mail about how Gomez once issued a stark warning to Swift about Lively
The source said Gomez has always been wary of her frenemy Lively especially because of the way she 'latched onto Taylor.'
Swift and Lively have been friends for a decade, and the singer is also the godmother to all of Lively's four kids, which the insider added that the former Disney star 'always found this odd.'
Lively sued Baldoni, her co-star and director in the It Ends With Us movie adaptation of the popular Colleen Hoover novel, for sexual harassment.
Swift, whose hit song 'My Tears Ricochet' was featured on the soundtrack of the 2024 film , was pulled into the rollercoaster saga earlier this year when Baldoni filed a $400million countersuit accusing Lively and her husband Ryan of defamation.

Bindi Irwin shares sweet family photo with husband Chandler Powell and daughter Grace - following her shock health emergency: 'Very grateful'
Bindi Irwin shared a heartwarming family picture on Monday as she visited Disney World in the US with her husband Chandler Powell and their daughter Grace. The Wildlife Warrior, 26, could be seen posing with her brood in front of the Florida theme park's iconic Cinderella castle in a sweet photo shared to Instagram. Chandler, 28, carried little Grace, four, who was dressed for the occasion in a sparkling frock and a Mickey Mouse hat, as Bindi held her husband's hand and smiled. 'May was an incredible month,' Chandler captioned the family photo. The former wake-board champion then listed some moments the family shared, including Bindi's shock medical emergency which emerged as a blessing in disguise. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Visiting my family in Florida, Bindi getting life changing surgery, Oregon adventures, and Disney all together,' he wrote. 'Very grateful,' Chandler finished off the post, which has garnered over 33,000 likes. Last month, Bindi was rushed to hospital just hours after touching down in Las Vegas for a gala honouring her late father Steve Irwin. She suffered a ruptured appendix and was raced into surgery, missing the prestigious event she was due to attend alongside brother Robert Irwin and mother Terri Irwin. Robert told People magazine at the time Bindi was recovering and her mother was at her bedside. 'She's going to be okay, but surgery - out of all the things we were ready for, that was not one of them,' Robert explained. Terri also missed the event while accompanying her daughter to hospital and staying by her side through surgery. Robert explained Bindi had been suffering some pain in the lead-up to the gala but had tried to soldier on. She suffered a ruptured appendix and was raced into surgery, missing the prestigious event she was due to attend alongside brother Robert Irwin and mother Terri Irwin 'She came to Las Vegas and was ready to put on a brave face. She said, "I'm just going to tough it out." 'But the surgeon told her, "Your appendix is going. It's got to come out."' In an Instagram post, Bindi revealed while her appendix was removed, doctors discovered another 14 lesions from her endometriosis. These were also successfully removed. She also had a large hernia repaired which had developed after giving birth to daughter Grace in 2021.

Keanu Reeves goes viral as he's STRADDLED by Broadway star during Tony Awards 2025 performance
A very awkward Keanu Reeves went viral after he was straddled by a Broadway icon during a 'sensual' Tony Awards 2025 performance on Sunday. The Speed star, 60, was set unsuspecting in his chair at New York City 's Radio City Music Hall when Jonathan Groff performed a high-octane rendition of Mack The Knife from his Bobby Darin musical, Just In Time. However, Groff - who starred with Reeves in 2021 flop The Matrix Resurrections - then leapt onto Reeves' chair with his legs either side of the shocked star's face as he sang. A shocked Reeves screamed before doing a rock on sign, as a cheeky Groff grabbed his chest - before jumping off the chair. Fans took to social media to laud the shock moment, with one fan writing: 'Jonathan Groff climbing over Keanu Reeves in the audience and then straddling him while performing at the Tonys omg lol Others wrote: 'Keanu Reeves already won the Tonys with this moment A very awkward Keanu Reeves went viral after he was straddled by a Broadway icon during a 'sensual' Tony Awards 2025 performance on Sunday 'Watching Jonathan Groff sensually live on the side of Keanu Reeves' face on live television might have been my Roman Empire. 'Jonathan Groff said he was going to shoot his shot with Keanu Reeves and I respect that. 'Jonathan Groff flirting with and singing to Keanu Reeves wasn't something I had on my Tonys bingo card but I'm here for it.' The 78th Annual Tony Awards, the most prestigious ceremony honoring theatre, is showing off the best of Broadway and beyond tonight. The show is being held on the hallowed stage of Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday, June 8, and it is hosted by three-time Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo. The three-hour show, which starts at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT, can be watched live on CBS or streamed on Paramount+ with Showtime. Users with the Paramount+ Essential subscription will have the option to begin watching the show on the following day. This year features major star power in the lead actor and actress categories. George Clooney is competing for his massively successful play Good Night, And Good Luck — an adaptation of the film of the same name that he directed, co-wrote and costarred in — for the lead actor in a play category, while acting legend Mia Farrow is competing against Succession star Sarah Snook and Stranger Things star Sadie Sink in the lead actress in a play category. Darren Criss and Jonathan Groff are adding some star power to the lead actor in a musical category, while Megan Hilty, Nicole Scherzinger and Broadway legend Audra McDonald are some of the biggest names in the lead actress in a musical category. Bob Odenkirk is best known for his film and television work, including his acclaimed run on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but he's now nominated in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play category for his turn in the revival of David Mamet's iconic drama of desperation, Glengarry Glen Ross. Presenters this year include Charli D'Amelio, Michelle Williams, Hacks' Jean Smart, LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Lea Salonga, all of whom are currently appearing on Broadway. The stage icon Kristin Chenoweth will also be presenting, while Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter will have a Bill and Ted reunion on stage ahead of their upcoming production of Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot. Glee star Lea Michele will also be joined on stage by Aaron Tveit. Several former Tony winners will be helping to announce awards, including Oprah Winfrey, Bryan Cranston, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Sarah Paulson, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Kelli O'Hara and Rachel Bay Jones. And the other presenters aren't exactly slouches, as several of them have Oscars and Grammy Awards to their names. They include Ben Stiller, Samuel L. Jackson, Katie Holmes, Jesse Eisenberg, Allison Janney, Ariana DeBose, Adam Lambert, Carrie Preston, Danielle Brooks and Sara Bareilles. Going into the 2025 ceremony, three musicals are leading the pack with 10 nominations each: Buena Vista Social Club, Death Becomes Her and Maybe Happy. Buena Vista Social Club is inspired by the beloved Cuban ensemble of the same name, which recorded a hit eponymous album in 1997 and was documented in Wim Wenders' acclaimed documentary (also of the same name) in 1999. Death Becomes Her is based on the Robert Zemeckis fantastical black comedy from 1992, which starred Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis. Unlike those musicals, which are adapted from existing music and films, Maybe Happy is a science fiction–romance that originated in South Korea. It follows two android helper-bots who develop feelings for each other, despite the fact that their short life spans threaten any future plans. Dead Outlaw, John Proctor Is The Villain, Sunset Blvd. and The Hills Of California are all tied for seven Tony nominations, while Floyd Collins, Justin In Time, Purpose and The Picture Of Dorian Gray are tied for six. Dead Outlaw and Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical are also competing in the Best Musical category, while English, The Hills Of California, John Proctor Is The Villain, Oh, Mary! and Purpose are vying for Best Play. Purpose and English have already been honored with Pulitzer Prizes. This year's nominated revivals include Eureka Day, Romeo + Juliet, Thornton Wilder's Our Town and David Henry Hwang's Yellow Face in the play category, while Floyd Collins, Gypsy, Pirates! The Penzanze Musical and Sunset Blvd. fill out the Best Revival of a Musical category. The performances this year will highlight all of the new and revived musical nominees, as well as Just In Time and Real Women Have Curves, which weren't nominated in best musical or revival but did receive other major nominations. The 2025 Tonys will look to the past as well with a tribute to Hamilton for its 10th anniversary as the original cast reunites for a performance. Miranda will be accompanied by Leslie Odom Jr., Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Daveed Diggs, Ariana DeBose, Jonathan Groff and Christopher Jackson, all of whom were part of the original production. Erivo, 38, was better known for her work in the theatre before expanding into a successful film and television career. The Wicked Star — who recently stirred up controversy when she was announced as the star of a production of Jesus Christ Superstar being held at the Hollywood Bowl in August — is already three-quarters of the way toward completing the rare and coveted EGOT after winning an Emmy, a Grammy and a Tony. Along the way, she also received nominations for four Golden Globe Awards, two British Academy Film Awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards. She previously starred on Broadway in the popular adaptation of The Color Purple, which led to her performing its song I'm Here at the 2016 Tonys.
