However, there have been murmurs about some tension between Blake and Anna. Especially after the poster of the sequel was shared on Instagram, many pointed out how Blake's name was much higher up compared to Anna's. 

The comments section was also flooded with reactions to the It Ends With Us co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's ongoing feud.

However, an insider told PEOPLE, "There really is no drama or rift between Anna and Blake", while another source added, "There is no feud. The film is in the early stages of planning what press will look like, and Blake and Anna will be doing some things together."
