The actress is reportedly no longer working with publicist Leslie Sloane as speculation continues over changes in Lively’s professional and social circles.
Blake Lively has reportedly parted ways with her longtime publicist amid the ongoing fallout surrounding her dispute with Justin Baldoni, marking a reported change in the actress’s professional circle.
The 39-year-old actress had worked with publicist Leslie Sloane for more than two decades. Sloane, who previously worked at public relations firm Baker Winokur Ryder, has been a longstanding figure in Lively’s professional career.
According to reports, Lively has now ended the long-running professional relationship as she continues to navigate heightened public attention surrounding the dispute.
The circumstances behind the reported split have not been publicly established, and neither Lively nor Sloane has been quoted confirming the development.
Blake Lively reportedly leans on husband
A report by Heat magazine claims that Lively has increasingly relied on her husband, Ryan Reynolds, amid reports that she has found herself on the outskirts of a social circle she once helped shape.
An unnamed source quoted by the publication described the situation as emotionally difficult for the actress.
“Blake did her best to hold her head high throughout all this and act as though it was just any other weekend, but this has been absolutely devastating for her,” the source claimed.
The account has not been independently confirmed, and the publication did not identify the source.
Wedding speculation adds to reported disappointment
The report also referred to speculation surrounding a lavish wedding involving Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce as another development that may have affected Lively.
According to the unnamed source, there had been speculation that the actress could receive an invitation, reportedly raising hopes that she might reconnect with members of her social circle.
However, the source claimed that her reported absence from the guest list served as a reminder of how some relationships may have changed amid the controversy.
“This has forced her to accept that this chapter of her life really is over,” the source said.
“There was all this talk that she might get an invite and, of course, she got her hopes up because she’d give anything to fix this, but—obviously—that didn’t happen.”
The comments remain allegations attributed to an unnamed source and have not been independently verified. Lively and her representatives have not publicly confirmed the claims.
While the reported split from Sloane would mark a significant change after more than two decades of professional collaboration, details about the circumstances surrounding the reported decision remain unclear.
