3 hours ago 1

Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid’s friendship status was questioned after the actress skipped the model’s star-studded 30th birthday party last week.

“I think it’s weird that you don’t show up at one of your friends’ 30th birthday party,” former entertainment reporter Kjersti Flaa said on her “Flaawsome Talk” podcast Sunday.

“It’s not that you don’t want to be out and seen out in public because she did go to that event the day before,” she added of Lively’s appearance at the Time100 Gala last Thursday.

“I think maybe Gigi Hadid didn’t want [Lively] to show up because both her and [her boyfriend] Bradley Cooper [are] probably waiting to be subpoenaed,” Flaa said, referring to the “Gossip Girl” alum’s ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni.

Page Six has reached out to reps for both Lively and Hadid but did not immediately hear back.

Last Friday, the catwalker threw a birthday bash at Le Chalet in New York City.

Cooper, 50, and several other stars, including sister Bella Hadid, Zoë Kravitz, Anne Hathaway, Emily Ratajkowski and Will Arnett, were in attendance.

Page Six confirmed Tuesday that Taylor Swift also snuck into the festivities, where photos were not allowed inside.

The night after Gigi’s bash, Lively, 37, and Reynolds, 48, were pictured packing on the PDA while cheering on his Wrexham soccer team in Wales.

The couple then flew back to NYC to attend the red carpet premiere of her new film, “Another Simple Favor.”

Lively and Gigi have been friends for years and reportedly met through Swift.

Last summer, the “A Simple Favor” star and the runway model even rocked superhero-inspired latex looks at the red carpet premiere of Reynolds’ film “Deadpool & Wolverine.”

However, since Lively sued Baldoni, 41, for sexual harassment in December, Gigi and the mom of four have not been publicly seen together. (Baldoni denied sexually harassing Lively on the set of their 2024 movie, “It Ends With Us.”)

To make matters even worse, Swift, 35, got thrown into Lively’s legal drama and is reportedly being subpoenaed.

Baldoni claimed in his $400 million defamation countersuit against the “Age of Adaline” actress and Reynolds that she had weaponized her friendship with the pop star while trying to control their film’s production.

Lively and Baldoni’s trial is set to begin in March 2026.
