Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds Face $2.1 Million Dispute Over New York Mansion: Report

Hollywood

power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are reportedly dealing with fresh financial troubles surrounding their lavish Upstate New York mansion project. According to recently filed legal documents, five contractors and subcontractors have accused the couple of not paying more than $2.1 million for construction work carried out on the sprawling estate in Lewisboro. The luxurious property, spread over nearly 110 acres, was envisioned as a dream compound, featuring a grand main residence, eco-friendly amenities, and private entertainment spaces. However, reports now claim that construction has been completely halted, with unpaid dues and legal cases raising fresh controversy over the much-talked-about project.

Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds face financial dispute

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' luxury property, located around 50 miles north of Manhattan, has reportedly been a passion project for the celebrity couple ever since they quietly acquired the land in 2018. Spread across nearly 110 acres, the estate was designed to become a massive private compound featuring a 14,500-square-foot main residence, a pool house, a gym, and advanced eco-friendly heating systems. However, new reports suggest that construction on the dream mansion has now come to a standstill.According to documents cited by The Daily Mail, the total unpaid amount stands at $2,108,856.63. The largest claim was reportedly filed by Flower Construction, a luxury building company that alleges it is owed $1,356,157.54 for major work carried out on the estate. According to the complaint, their responsibilities included structural work, plumbing, electrical wiring, drywall installation, brickwork, and heating and cooling systems.

In addition to Flower Construction, four other subcontractors have reportedly filed claims related to specialized work on the property. This includes excavation work for an environmentally friendly geothermal heating system and large-scale drainage infrastructure around the estate. Reports also claimed the slowdown in construction began toward the end of 2025 before work eventually halted completely earlier this year. The timing has drawn attention because it coincided with Blake’s widely publicized legal dispute connected to It Ends With Us.

Blake Lively accuses It Ends With Us co-star

Lively had accused her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment and orchestrating a retaliatory smear campaign against her. The dispute quickly became one of the most talked-about in Hollywood and dominated headlines for months. During the legal battle, several counterclaims reportedly failed to make it to court, while several of Lively's allegations also failed to make it to court.

Following the resolution of the case, Lively returned to public events, making a high-profile appearance at the Met Gala earlier this month. Despite the grand return, reports suggest the couple's luxury estate project is in financial limbo as disputes with contractors continue to escalate.
