Baldoni’s own $400 million lawsuit against Lively, Ryan Reynolds, the New York Times, and others was dismissed in June, leaving his team increasingly reliant on insurance recovery to fund their ongoing defense.

Judge Lewis Liman is scheduled to preside over the core claims in the case between Lively and Baldoni on March 9, 2026, in an East Coast federal courtroom. Whether the new insurance claims will be resolved by then remains uncertain.

As of now, representatives for Baldoni, Wayfarer, New York Marine, and Lively’s legal team have all declined to comment on the ongoing litigation.
