Gigi Hadid is reportedly sticking to Taylor Swift amid the popstar’s controversy with Blake Lively versus Justin Baldoni lawsuit.
After Swift reportedly distanced herself from Lively for a second time for being dragged into the legal battle with Baldoni, the next person under the radar is Hadid.
Journalist Kjersti Flaa, who claimed she was bullied by Lively in a resurfaced video from 2016, shared her two cents on Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds’ absence at Hadid’s 30th birthday party on her podcast Flaasome Talk two days after the bash.
Flaa speculated that Hadid and her boyfriend Bradley Cooper did not invite the couple as they ‘probably waiting to be subpoenaed’ in the ongoing legal battle between Lively and Baldoni.
Gigi celebrated alongside her sister Bella Hadid and their parents Yolanda and Mohammed, and the guest list also featured many supermodels and actress Anne Hathaway.
Now, an insider has also spilled the beans on the supermodel’s possible verdict in choosing between besties Swift and Lively.
“Gigi has always had a closer friendship with Taylor and stands by her,” a source told Us Weekly.
“She has been a very loyal friend to Taylor, and they have been best friends for a decade now.”
The insider elaborated that Hadid “hasn’t necessarily chosen sides” between Lively and Swift and the current status of their friend circle is a “reflection of the closeness her and Taylor have shared over the years.”
Swift introduced Hadid to Lively, the source explained, adding that Hadid and Lively “really haven’t been as close in almost a year” but there are “no hard feelings” between the two.
As Taylor has started to distance herself from Blake, Gigi has “done the same,” the insider claimed. “The shift wasn’t abrupt, but gradual and organic change in dynamics.”
“They haven’t been in touch much this year and it does have everything to do with the lawsuit,” the source said of Hadid and Lively.
For those unversed, Baldoni is countersuing Lively for defamation after her sexual harassment complaint against him. The pair are expected to face each other in court on March 9, 2026.
