Paul Feig is sharing an update on his longtime friend Blake Lively as the first trial date in her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni nears. "Blake is great. She's great. She's just, you know, soldiering on," Feig, 63, told Extra while walking the 2026 Oscars red carpet on Sunday, March 15. "She's such a great mom and that's such the biggest part of her life that she just continues to be wonderful and their kids are great." Lively, 38, and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, share James, 11, Inez, 9, Betty, 6, and Olin, 3.
