“Blake Lively’s Potential ‘It Ends With Us’ Salary Revealed — Shocking Figure Emerges Amid Justin Baldoni’s Legal Battle Over the Film Adaptation”
Blake Lively is no stranger to big paychecks, but her potential salary for the upcoming film adaptation of It Ends With Us is turning heads — especially as legal tensions escalate around co-star and producer Justin Baldoni.
The romantic drama, based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, has already generated massive buzz due to its emotionally charged story, passionate fanbase, and A-list casting. But now, insiders have leaked that Blake Lively could be earning a staggering $10 million for her role as Lily Bloom — a number that has surprised even industry veterans.
Lively, 36, who rose to fame on Gossip Girl and went on to headline films like The Age of Adaline and A Simple Favor, was a strategic and high-profile choice for the adaptation. According to sources close to the production, her salary reflects not only her star power but also her role in helping secure financing and marketing deals for the film.
“She wasn’t just cast — she was part of the engine that got this movie moving,” a studio insider revealed. “She brings credibility, audience appeal, and major promotional weight.”
The timing of this salary leak is no coincidence. It comes as Justin Baldoni — who is both directing and playing Ryle Kincaid in the film — faces legal issues surrounding production delays, alleged contract breaches, and financial disputes involving third-party production partners.
While the legal battle does not directly involve Lively, it has reportedly impacted production timelines and could influence profit participation deals for key talent, including her. Industry analysts speculate that the leaked salary figure may be a tactical move in ongoing negotiations behind the scenes.
“Anytime numbers like this get out, it’s usually tied to leverage — someone trying to make a point,” says one entertainment lawyer familiar with similar disputes.
Despite the off-camera drama, fans remain laser-focused on the film itself, eager to see how the emotionally complex love triangle between Lily, Ryle, and Atlas plays out on screen. Lively’s casting initially sparked debate, with some fans questioning her fit for the role, but recent leaked set photos have swayed public opinion, showing her fully immersed in the character.
Production, which had been stalled during the Hollywood strikes, is now reportedly back on track. With a tentative release date set for late 2025, the studio is hoping to regain momentum and steer the film toward a blockbuster debut.
Neither Blake Lively nor her team has commented on the leaked salary reports, and representatives for Baldoni have remained tight-lipped about the ongoing legal dispute. However, sources say the team is working behind the scenes to ensure the film stays on schedule and remains insulated from the courtroom drama.
As Hollywood waits to see how the lawsuit unfolds, fans are more eager than ever to see the beloved novel brought to life — and to see Blake Lively take center stage in one of the most anticipated roles of her career.
