Blake Lively has been granted a protective order for her deposition.

The 37-year-old actress was granted the request by Judge Lewis J. Liman in her ongoing legal battle against Justin Baldoni on Monday (July 14), via People.

Their trial is set for March 2026 in New York City, and both parties plan to testify during the proceedings.
