Blake Lively, once Queen of the Met Gala, has been noticeably absent from the lavish event in recent years. Amid tension between the actress and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni, her inclination to attend such a public-facing event might be hindered.

Blake Lively has opened up about the emotional rollercoaster she has faced this year as her legal fight with Justin Baldoni continues.

"Ryan is always her rock," the source told People two days after news of Lively's lawsuit against Baldoni, who also directed It Ends With Us, broke. "They have such a special relationship. He's very proud of her in so many ways."
