Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are is reportedly more than $2.1 million in debt to contractors tied to their sprawling 110-acre estate in Lewisboro, New York, a project that remains unfinished nearly eight years after it began.
Trouble in Paradise
According to Westchester County records, five contractors and subcontractors filed mechanics liens against the property in April, claiming unpaid work totaling just over $2.1 million. The largest claim, which is roughly $1.35 million, comes from FlowCon Inc., which handled major portions of the build, including framing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical systems, and interior finishes, The New York Post reported. Additional filings cite unpaid work for copper roofing, steel fabrication, geothermal systems, and septic installation.
The power couple’s business and brand ventures have reportedly taken hits amid a high-profile legal battle with director Justin Baldoni. Lively sued Baldoni, her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director, alleging a hostile work environment, while Baldoni countersued for $400 million. The case was settled earlier this month with no money exchanged, but not before both sides incurred tens of millions in legal fees.
Lively’s Blake Brown haircare line, once projected to reach $100 million in value, reportedly dropped to around $15 million following declining sales. Reynolds’ business ventures, including Aviation Gin and Mint Mobile, also experienced slowed momentum and scaled-back marketing efforts during the controversy.
As far as their estate, it was quietly assembled through an LLC beginning in 2018. The pair envisioned it as a geothermal-powered, environmentally conscious retreat. Plans included a nearly 15,000-square-foot main residence, a pool house, a gym, and extensive infrastructure designed for long-term family living. At a 2022 planning board hearing, Lively described the property as “the most beautiful place in the world,” underscoring the couple’s emotional investment in what they intended to be their forever home.
But construction appears to have stalled in late 2025 or early 2026.
Lively has an estimated net worth of approximately $30 million and Reynolds has an estimated net worth of roughly $350 million.
