TMZ<\/a> on Monday, February 2. \u201cThat was really cool. I was in the department head meeting and I was waiting for them to load and I legit got the chills when I saw it. You look beautiful. It\u2019s going to work so well.\u201d<\/p>\nPer TMZ, the voice memo was sent before It Ends With Us<\/em> began filming in 2023. Baldoni, who was Lively\u2019s costar and director on the film, appeared to be discussing the Gossip Girl<\/em> alum\u2019s costuming.<\/p>\nUs Weekly<\/em> has reached out to Baldoni and Lively for comment.<\/p>\nThe memo is the latest unsealed court exhibit, and comes just days after Us Weekly obtained a separate memo from Lively in which she spoke affectionately toward Baldoni while discussing how overwhelmed she felt with returning to work and filming back-to-back projects after giving birth to her fourth baby. (Lively shares daughters James, 11, Inez, 9, and Betty 6, and son Olin, 2, with husband Ryan Reynold<\/strong>s.)<\/p>\n\u201cHey. I hope you\u2019re so well. Just wanted to connect just to put something on your radar. So, between us. Like, this is so premature for me to even share this with you. All good, all good stuff. Headline is great, good, great stuff,\u201d Lively began in the message, which was sent in February 2023 during pre-production. \u201cBut I was talking to Ryan [Reynolds] and I was like, \u2018I don\u2019t know if I should share this,\u2019 but he was like, \u2018You guys have such a great trust, you know. Fill him in.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cJust the idea of going back to work every day right away and also the idea of, you know, prepping for our movie and wanting to work out every day and all that and yet being on set every day. I\u2019m like, \u2018What have I done?\u2019 The only reason that I\u2019m doing [that movie] before is because I gave them my word and I wouldn\u2019t go back on that and felt like I had to make it work. But having a week off in between, it\u2019s just a lot. It\u2019s a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lively explained that she was \u201cpanicking\u201d the closer \u201creality\u201d of shooting got, confessing she really only wanted to \u201cfocus\u201d on It Ends With Us<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cObviously, there\u2019s selfish reasons I\u2019m telling you this,\u201d she quipped. \u201cIf by chance you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, my God, if I could go two weeks earlier, that would actually be great,\u2019 then amazing. And if it is what it is, then it is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cSelfishly, what I would love about that, is that Ryan and I have also been really stressed about spending a month apart. None of it is your problem. That\u2019s why I\u2019m talking to you as a friend at this point more than anything but the idea of spending all of June apart is a lot. The most we have ever done is less than two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
