New York, New York - Though Blake Lively is no stranger to the spotlight, the star was reportedly battling some nerves as she made her first red carpet appearance after filing a bombshell lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

The 37-year-old joined her husband, Ryan Reynolds, at Sunday's Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary special, where the Deadpool star even made a light-hearted joke alluding to the ongoing legal battle.

According to People, Blake was "a bit anxious" about attending the star-studded event but ultimately "thought it was the perfect opportunity to ease back into the spotlight."

"They had many friends attending, and as soon as they arrived, they received a warm welcome. It was a great event," the source added.

The insider further dished that Blake is keen on easing her way back into Hollywood as she prepares for the debut of Another Simple Favor and its subsequent press tour next month.

"She feels more ready now. She knows it will be a long year with continued drama, but she's just trying to focus on the good things. Her family is everything to her," the tipster said.

Since December, Blake and her It Ends With Us co-star have been tied up in an intense legal drama that was sparked by her allegations that the 41-year-old sexually harassed her on set.

In her bombshell suit, the Gossip Girl alum alleged that Justin had hired a PR team to conduct an online smear campaign to destroy her reputation in retaliation for coming forward with the allegations.

Justin denied her claims and filed a lawsuit of his own against Blake, Ryan, and their publicist the following month, accusing them of defamation and claiming that Blake manipulated him in order to gain control of the movie, which Justin star both starred in and directed.

The legal drama is currently set to go to trial in March 2026, though a judge warned that the date could be moved up if the dispute continues to play out in the press.
