As the lawsuit battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni escalates, the “Gossip Girl” alum is leaning toward optimism and positivity. The new photo she shared on Instagram showed a few delicate white flowers blooming in spring — a season associated with hope and new beginnings. But, Lively also added a quote that reflected her thoughts on being optimistic and hopeful: “It never hurts to keep looking for sunshine.” As revealed by the actor, the quote is by the fictional character, Eeyore, from author A. A. Milne’s “Winnie-the-Pooh” books.

Previously, Lively shared a carousel of photographs on Instagram from the final roundup for her movie “Another Simple Favor” in Austin. The first photo showed the actor playing table tennis on a backyard lawn with her co-star, Michele Morrone. The second image displayed Lively wearing a blazer-style dress with lots of colors and fringe detailing. The actor styled the fit by pairing it with black pointed-toed pumps.

Another photo from the post showcased Blake Lively on stage for a press conference for “Another Simple Favor,” along with co-star Anna Kendrick. Lively donned a peach-colored dress with big black polka dots at the bottom of the skirt. Meanwhile, Kendrick wore a stylish all-black outfit and golden heels. Lively concluded the post by sharing a clever “mom hack.” Further expressing her gratitude, the actor wrote in the caption, “I know how fortunate I am to work with each of you. Thank you to my friends and loved ones for making this weekend so special.”
