Why did Blake Lively miss Gigi Hadid's 30th birthday bash?
Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid's longtime friendship is under public scrutiny after the actress was notably absent from the model's star-studded 30th birthday party last week. The celebration, held at Le Chalet in New York City, drew big names like Anne Hathaway, Bradley Cooper, Zoë Kravitz, and Taylor Swift, but Lively was nowhere in sight. Speculation ramped up when former entertainment journalist Kjersti Flaa called the absence 'weird' on her Flaawsome Talk podcast, especially since Lively attended the Time100 Gala just a day before the party. Flaa even suggested that Hadid may have intentionally distanced herself, hinting at potential legal complications involving Lively's ongoing lawsuit against actor-director Justin Baldoni. Lively sued Baldoni for sexual harassment in December 2024, a claim he denied and responded to with a $400 million defamation countersuit. The fallout has also allegedly entangled Taylor Swift, who is rumored to be subpoenaed in the case. Despite a history of public friendship — including red carpet appearances and matching outfits — Lively and Hadid haven't been seen together since the lawsuit. The speculation has grown louder as Lively continues public appearances with husband Ryan Reynolds while remaining silent on the friendship status. The trial between Lively and Baldoni is set for March 2026. As legal tensions rise, so does the mystery surrounding the actress's absence from Hadid's milestone birthday bash.

Blake Lively's friendship with longtime pal Gigi Hadid is questioned after skipping her 30th birthday party
Blake Lively's friendship with her longtime best friend Gigi Hadid is under question after she skipped her 30th birthday party. On Friday, the supermodel rang in her birthday with many of her celebrity pals but her close friends Lively and Ryan Reynolds were noticeably absent. Hadid celebrated her birthday at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City alongside her boyfriend Bradley Cooper and a slew of other stars, but not her best friend of approximately a decade. She 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 Swift 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 the actress in a resurfaced video from 2016, reacted to Lively and Reynolds' lack of attendance at Hadid's birthday party on her podcast Flaawsome Talk.

Lively later opted to fly to Wales instead for a soccer match and to cheer on Reynolds' UK team Wrexham AFC. Based on Lively's attendance at the TIME100 Gala in New York City with her mother and Reynolds the day before, Flaa speculated that their reason for not going to Hadid's party could not be due to being out of town or them not wanting to go out. Flaa further speculated that Hadid and Cooper did not invite the couple as they 'probably waiting to be subpoenaed' in the ongoing legal battle between Lively and Justin 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.' Swift is reportedly set to be subpoenaed this week. Flaa claimed that Hadid and Cooper appear to have been a little involved, but involved nonetheless, in It Ends With Us, and for that reason, they could dragged into the legal drama and be summoned to court. Hadid previously gushed about the movie at the premiere, hinting at the fact that she was invited to a pre-screening at Lively's penthouse, which No Filter podcast host Zack Peter previously speculated.

Other stars that were acknowledged included Taylor 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, the Gossip Girl alum, 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.'

The bitter back-and-forth is scheduled for a trial on March 29, 2026. All parties have denied the allegations.
