Actress Blake Lively has walked away without any financial compensation after reaching a settlement with her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni. However, the legal battle is far from over.

While the pair ended their dispute just two weeks before they were scheduled to go to trial in New York over contentious dueling claims, a pending motion remains before the district court of the Southern District of New York.
