Blake Lively has opted to keep a low profile amid her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni, as her husband, Ryan Reynolds, stepped out solo on Thursday. A DailyMail.com photographer exclusively caught the actor, 48, exiting their New York City apartment after security packed up his car with a slew of luggage. Bodyguards were seen putting an enormous duffle bag and multiple rolling suitcases into the vehicle.

A floatie device for a child and a blanket with the couple's son's name etched onto it was also packed into the SUV. While the luggage and swimming gear hints that the couple may be jetting off on vacation with their kids in a bid to escape the whirlwind of press surrounding the ongoing It Ends With Us drama, the Gossip Girl alum, 37, and their four young children were nowhere to be seen. Instead, Ryan darted into the car by himself.

Dressed in a navy blue button down shirt and matching dress pants, the Deadpool star looked glum as he made his way into the waiting car. He completed his look with a green and blue striped jacket, white sneakers, and a pair of dark shades.

It Ends With Us costars Blake and Justin, 40, have been embroiled in a legal battle ever since Blake filed an explosive lawsuit against Justin in December, in which she alleged he sexually harassed her on set. In her bombshell 80-page complaint, which was filed with the California Civil Rights Department, she also claimed that he had created a hostile work environment while they were filming the hugely popular Colleen Hoover adaptation.

Justin then responded by filing his own bombshell $400 million lawsuit against the actress, which was filled with his own share of shocking claims - including one that Blake enlisted Ryan, and her pal Taylor Swift, to 'pressure' him into allowing her to make changes to the script. Last week, Blake and her husband Ryan's legal team requested a gag order to curb what they called 'improper conduct' by Justin's attorneys earlier this week, citing an alleged 'harassing and retaliatory media campaign' against the couple.

It came after Justin's lawyer released shocking behind-the-scenes footage from the set of It Ends With Us. The explosive video, exclusively released by DailyMail.com, showed all three takes of a dance scene between the costars - revealing the pair were on apparent great terms before the actress accused him of sexual harassment. Blake hit back at the clip's release, with her lawyers saying it actually proved that she was uncomfortable during the scene.

But the Gossip Girl alum, 37, and their four young children were no where to be seen. Instead, Ryan darted into the car by himself. Dressed in a navy blue button down shirt and matching dress pants, the Deadpool star looked glum as he made his way into the waiting car. He completed his look with a green and blue striped jacket, white sneakers, and a pair of dark shades. 'Justin Baldoni and his lawyer may hope that this latest stunt will get ahead of the damaging evidence against him, but the video itself is damning,' her legal team shared in a statement with DailyMail.com.

Her team claimed the video 'showed Mr. Baldoni repeatedly leaning in toward Ms. Lively, attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck, flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her, telling her how good she smells, and talking with her out of character.'. He was then spotted arriving at the Paley Center in New York City, where he was scheduled to speak today.

'Every frame of the released footage corroborates, to the letter, what Ms. Lively described in Paragraph 48 of her Complaint,' they added. Blake's lawyer also insisted that none of the intimacy shown in the video from the film - which Justin directed and starred in alongside Blake - was choreographed. 'Every moment of this was improvised by Mr. Baldoni with no discussion or consent in advance, and no intimacy coordinator present,' they said.
