Blake Lively’s sister Robyn Lively will forever be proud of her younger sibling.
On Tuesday, June 10, Blake, 37, reshared multiple Instagram Stories posts from Robyn, 53, which were posted after it was revealed that Justin Baldoni’s countersuit against Blake, her husband Ryan Reynolds and their publicist, as well as his lawsuit against The New York Times, had been dismissed by a judge in New York.
Without mentioning the suits in the social media posts, Robyn posted a throwback snap of the siblings cuddling, alongside the message: “I held you then…”
She then shared a more recent snap with the caption, “….now,” before posting a photo of the sisters posing in Paris with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
“…and always,” Robyn wrote, adding a red heart emoji and the comments, “No one knows you quite like I do, and man am I ever proud of you … I love you sister.”
Blake reshared all three posts on her Instagram Stories, with Donna Lewis’ “I Love You Always Forever” playing in the background.
She wrote over the third shot, “I love you more. Always. Forever. Near or far. Closer together,” referencing Lewis’ lyrics. The Gossip Girl alum added a heart graphic, which read, “I love you so, so hard, like the most ever.”

The posts came after Judge Lewis J. Liman granted the motion to dismiss the $400 million lawsuit filed by Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties against Blake and Reynolds, which alleged extortion and defamation, on Monday, June 9, as well as his $250 million defamation lawsuit against the Times.
The judge noted, though, that Baldoni’s legal team can still amend the claims for breach of implied contract and tortious interference with contract if they choose to, with a deadline of June 23.
In a statement obtained by PEOPLE after the news emerged, Blake’s lawyers, Mike Gottlieb and Esra Hudson, declared it a “total victory and a complete vindication” for the actress.
Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, said in an interview on TMZ Live on Tuesday, June 10, that the news was “not fair” and “not right.”

Robyn previously voiced her support for Blake while speaking to PEOPLE in May after Blake had alluded to her legal battle with her former It Ends with Us costar and director, Baldoni, in her TIME100 gala speech the month prior.
“[I’m] very proud. Just so you know, very proud,” Robyn said, as her husband and fellow actor Bart Johnson reiterated that the couple was “super proud” of Blake.
“That’s a tough thing to navigate, so we’re proud,” Johnson, 54, added, as Robyn reiterated, “To say we’re proud is an understatement.”
Blake and Baldoni’s trial — during which both are expected to testify — is currently scheduled for March 2026.
