Blake Lively’s Past with DiCaprio in Spotlight Amid Legal Battle

LOS ANGELES, CA — Blake Lively‘s past relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio has resurfaced online during her current legal battle with Justin Baldoni. The actress initially stirred controversy with Baldoni, who she accused of a smear campaign and sexual harassment. As the two prepare for a trial in March 2026, fans have revisited Lively’s five-month romance with DiCaprio from 2011.

The couple first sparked dating rumors when they were spotted together in May 2011 at the Cannes Film Festival. Shortly after DiCaprio’s split from former girlfriend Bar Refaeli, he was seen strolling with Lively in Portofino, Italy. Their outings included a private Disneyland trip and a shopping date in Santa Barbara, where both were frequently photographed together.

Despite their close ties, reports indicate that the couple ended their relationship after just five months. A source close to them revealed that they mutually decided to remain friends. Another friend mentioned that DiCaprio was different with Lively than with other women, noting, ‘Leo’s never dated a girl who can cook. And he’s smitten!’

Lively moved on and married Ryan Reynolds in 2012, while DiCaprio is currently in a relationship with Vittoria Ceretti. After their split, it remains unclear if Lively and DiCaprio are still in contact. The renewed interest in their relationship has coincided with Lively’s complicated legal situation with Baldoni.

Insiders who worked with Lively during her failed lifestyle brand Preserve also brought attention to past allegations of a toxic work environment and poor management, contrasting Lively’s current claims of harassment. As discussions unfold, Lively remains tight-lipped about her past brand and its problems.
