Blake Lively's sister Robyn is 'proud' of her
The 37-year-old actress has shared a series of supportive messages from Twin Peaks star Robyn, 53, after a judge dismissed It Ends With Us actor Justin Baldoni's countersuit against her, after Blake had accused him of causing her "severe emotional distress".
In a series of posts on her Instagram Story, Robyn - who did not mention the lawsuits - shared family photos of them over the years.
She wrote: "I held you then... now... and always.
"No one knows you quite like I do, and man am I ever proud of you ... I love you sister."
Blake shared the posts with her own Instagram followers with Donna Lewis' song I Love You Always Forever playing in the background.
Referencing the track, she wrote: "I love you more. Always. Forever. Near or far. Closer together."
This week, Judge Lewis J. Liman granted a motion to dismiss Justin's $400 million lawsuit against Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds, as he accused them of extortion and defamation.
While the lawsuit was dismissed, it was noted that his legal team have until June 23 to amend claims of breach of implied contract and tortious interference with contract, if they want to.
Justin's attorney Bryan Freedman has stressed they still have things to fight for and will be amending their complaint.
He told Us Weekly in a statement: 'Ms. Lively and her team's predictable declaration of victory is false, so let us be clear about the latest ruling.
'While the Court dismissed the defamation-related claims, the Court has invited us to amend four out of the seven claims against Ms. Lively, which will showcase additional evidence and refined allegations.
"This case is about false accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation and a nonexistent smear campaign, which Ms. Lively's own team conveniently describes as 'untraceable' because they cannot prove what never happened.'
Following the judge's ruling, Blake vowed to keep fighting for other women.
She wrote on Instagram: "Last week, I stood proudly alongside 19 organizations united in defending women's rights to speak up for their safety. Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us.
"While the suit against me was defeated, so many don't have the resources to fight back.
"I'm more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman's right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story.
"There are protections out there. Check out some of the incredible organizations below for resources and information.
"With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know. Many of you I don't. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you.

Bonnie Blue dated fan she met at one of her content creation events
Bonnie Blue has revealed her last relationship was with a fan. The 26-year-old adult entertainer met the "good looking" guy during one of her sex stunts and decided to go on a few dates with him before things fizzled out. In an interview with Us Weekly, she said: "The last person I sort of dated was actually in one of my queues back in September from the Freshers content. I saw him and I was like, 'Oh, my God, this guy's good looking. Is he here for me or is he in the wrong queue? Is he OK?' He was so sweet, so nice. And then after that we did some arcade dates. We went to the cinema a few times, a few hotel stays.' Bonnie - who appeared in Channel 4 documentary 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story which focused on her stunt to bed 1,057 men in 12 hours - insists she's not really looking for a relationship at the moment because she is fully focused on her career which involved her travelling all over the world for shoots. She added: "Dating for me will come later on in life. If it happens and they are able to travel with me and join me in this journey, then I wouldn't dismiss it. "However, most people you meet are already in a job or they've got their own life or they're already set up in one particular country or location. At the moment, I honestly love what I do and I'm not looking to change my life. Who knows, I might bump into someone at the supermarket.' Bonnie and her husband Oliver Davidson - who met when they were 14 - split in 2023 and in the process of finalising their divorce. The X-rated star - whose real name is Tia Billinger - grew apart and decided it was the right time to separate. She said: "There was no bad blood, there was no cheating [and] no aggression or anything in the relationship. "A lot of couples then stay in that relationship because it's the easy thing to do and you've got a lot of memories with someone. But we both got to a point where I was like, 'I think we'd be happier if it was with someone else in the future or if we're just not together at this moment in time.' So that was the decision we came to.' Davidson appeared in the documentary and spoke on camera about why Bonnie has become so successful in the adult industry. He said: "She really connects with the fans. Most people, if they do porn, they seem out of reach. You're never going to meet them. You're never going to be able to film with them. Whereas Bonnie, she puts her location online. Then her fans can actually film with her.'

A statement issued for the couple by Gerard Franklin read: "Mr Peter Phillips, the son of HRH The Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips and Ms Harriet Sperling, daughter of the late Mr Rupert Sanders and Mrs Mary Sanders of Gloucestershire, have today confirmed their official engagement. "Both families were informed jointly of the announcement and were delighted with the wonderful news of their engagement. "Their Majesties The King and Queen, The Prince and Princess of Wales have been informed of the announcement." At the moment there is no official date for the wedding. Peter - who is the nephew of King Charles and was the eldest grandchild of the late - was fifth in line to the throne at birth and remained so until the birth of his cousin William, Prince of Wales, in 1982. Peter has two daughters, Savannah and Isla, from his relationship with his ex-wife Autumn Kelly.

"Peter and Autumn have requested privacy and consideration for their children as the family adapts to a new chapter in their lives." After his separation from Autumn, Peter was in a relationship with Lindsay Wallace for three years. While dating, they attended several royal family events together, including King Charles' Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle. Peter and Harriet - who has a daughter, Georgia - first went public as a couple in May 2024 when they were seen at the Badminton Horse Trials in Gloucestershire, England. Later that same summer they were seen enjoying Wimbledon sat in the royal box. Harriet has accompanied Peter to numerous events with other members of the royal family such as the Royal Ascot race meet.
