Blake Lively may be losing a few famous friends, but her sisters are making it clear that they’ve got her back.
As rumors swirl that the "Gossip Girl" alum has been iced out by longtime besties Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid amid her messy legal battle with "It Ends With Us" co-star Justin Baldoni, Blake is turning to family for support.
Blake Lively shared a sweet selfie on her Instagram Stories on Saturday, flashing smiles alongside sisters Robyn Lively, 53, and Lori Lively, 58, at a New York City photo exhibit.

The trio attended Guy Aroch and Anna Palma's exhibit at the International Center for Photography, and Blake made sure to show her love with a heart sticker labeled "sisters" on the snap.
In the caption of another post, she gushed, “Guy Aroch and Anna Palma and their family have been friends I’ve cherished for over half my life. Celebrating them and their bold mark was what we came for, what we stayed for was the electrical joy they create when you’re in their orbit.”
She added, “To be near them is to be your most vibrant, happy self. I love you Guy & Anna. Congrats on your exhibition @icp NYC running May 15–24," followed by three red heart emojis.
And it’s not the first time Blake’s been seen leaning into family time lately.
Blake Channels ‘90s Glitter Pop Vibes While Brushing Off A-List Drama With A Smile
She was recently spotted out to dinner with Robyn, looking relaxed despite the mounting drama with her former A-list crew.
Over on her Stories, Blake showed she hasn’t lost her sparkle. She shared a snap from a '90s-themed party where she rocked a nostalgic look complete with butterfly clips, a boy band tee, plaid around the waist, and a “baby” necklace.
“Don’t invite me to a 90s party if you want grunge,” she quipped. “I live and die by glitter pop. 4lyfe. 143.”
The lighthearted moment comes amid serious tension behind the scenes.
Taylor Swift Is ‘100% Done’ With Blake Lively
As Us Weekly previously reported, the friendship between Taylor Swift and Blake Lively has “completely shattered.” The final straw was when Lively allegedly threatened to leak private text messages from Swift unless the pop superstar publicly supported her in the Baldoni lawsuit.
According to insiders, Swift was “100% done” after that move, and Gigi is seemingly siding with the "22" singer.
“As Taylor has begun to distance herself from Blake, Gigi has naturally done the same,” one source shared. “The shift wasn’t abrupt, but a gradual and organic change in dynamics.”
While Gigi “hasn’t necessarily chosen sides,” her tight bond with Taylor, and radio silence with Blake, hasn’t gone unnoticed. “They haven’t been in touch much this year and it does have everything to do with the lawsuit,” the insider added.
Blake's No-Show At Gigi Hadid's Birthday Fuels Rumors
The cracks in Blake Lively’s A-list inner circle may have been quietly growing for months, but fans really started paying attention when the "Gossip Girl" star was noticeably absent from Gigi Hadid’s 30th birthday celebration last month.
The bash was nothing short of star-studded, with sister Bella Hadid, parents Yolanda and Mohammed, and "The Devil Wears Prada" icon Anne Hathaway in attendance. And yes, Taylor Swift was there too, reportedly arriving solo, without Travis Kelce by her side, according to gossip site DeuxMoi.
Taylor Swift And Gigi Hadid Cut Ties With Blake Lively After Alleged Betrayal
This also comes after claims surfaced that Lively allegedly threatened to release damaging private text messages from Swift unless the singer publicly supported her in the legal battle against Justin Baldoni.
Their once-close friendship has reportedly cooled off significantly as Lively remains entangled in a tense legal showdown with the actor. Just last week, Swift was dramatically subpoenaed in connection to the case, despite making efforts to stay removed from the controversy.
“There is no recovering from this. Their friendship is done,” another insider revealed.
The source continued, “What Blake has done was exploit the Godmother of her children and manipulate the public into thinking that she was watching out for her best interests.”
Swift holds the role of godmother to Lively and Ryan Reynolds' three eldest daughters, James, 10, Inez, 8, and Betty, 5.
“Taylor is done and Gigi is done with Blake, and she has no one to blame but herself. Taylor is a girl's girl and she loves her friends. She will bend over backward for them but when that trust is broken there is no going back,” the other insider claimed.
Now, with the fallout from the lawsuit continuing to ripple through one of Hollywood’s most iconic girl squads, it’s clear Blake is focusing on her inner circle.
