Amid the Justin Baldoni lawsuit, Blake Lively took a moment to publicly express her deep appreciation for her mother. She shared a heartfelt message to honor the unwavering support and creative inspiration her mother has provided.
Blake Lively is ‘grateful’ for her mother’s support in recent Instagram note
Blake Lively recently shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, expressing deep appreciation for her mother, Elaine Lively, and the unwavering support she has always provided. This comes after several developments in the lawsuit between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. On June 5, the Gossip Girl star posted a joyful photo of herself holding a bouquet, accompanied by a touching tribute. She praised her mom for encouraging her creativity and confidence, even during the busiest times.

Lively wrote, “Grateful to my mama for always doing creative things with me. Even when she was working nonstop and had zero time. She always told me I ‘couldn’t mess it up,’ when I very much could.” She further added, “What a lifelong gift that creative empowerment and trust has been. Most of my passions come from, or thanks to, her.”
In addition to the tribute, Lively posted a close-up of the floral arrangement she created, featuring pink, magenta, and white blossoms. She captioned, “My flower babies, from seeds to cutting, to arrangement,” before jokingly suggesting it for “your next graduation funeral or wedding.”
This touching public tribute comes just weeks after Lively honored her mother during her speech at the TIME 100 Gala in New York City. At the event, where Lively was recognized as one of the most influential people of the year, she paid tribute to Elaine’s lasting influence on her life and work. She was also accompanied by her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
The heartfelt tribute to her mother arrives amid ongoing developments in the lawsuit involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Most recently, a federal judge dismissed emotional distress allegations after Lively’s attorneys chose to drop those claims. Furthermore, the court denied Baldoni’s attempt to access her confidential medical and therapy records, since those issues are no longer part of the lawsuit.
