The docs say the two separated more than a year ago and have been living apart for more than 60 days.
Blake Lively is fighting Justin Baldoni's effort to ban certain evidence from being presented to the jury at their upcoming trial ... including his alleged comments about her weight.
According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, Blake told a judge the alleged remarks about her weight are completely relevant to the case.
In her lawsuit, the "Gossip Girl" alum alleged that Justin -- ahead of a scene in "It Ends With Us" where he had to lift her -- called her personal trainer to inquire about her weight. Justin said he had back problems and needed to be careful. Blake took issue with his call.
Blake argued her claims about the weight-related comments should be heard by the jury when the trial starts in May. She said the information "provides necessary context for evaluating" her claim that he retaliated against her.
The director said the allegations are "irrelevant" and would prejudice a jury ... insisting any comments he made to Blake's trainer have no connection to the alleged smear campaign his team ran against the actress in response to her complaints about on-set behavior by Justin.

We caught up with Cavs champ Iman Shumpert at LAX this week ... and asked if he wants to see the kid from Akron go home (again) before retiring.
Shump said James has obviously earned the right to decide for himself ... but admitted the opportunity to bring things full circle to end his career is pretty enticing to him.
James' return worked out well the first time around -- he ended up raising a championship banner and ending the city's 52-year title drought.
'Mormon Wives' producers are firing back at "Vanderpump Villa" star Marciano Brunette’s claim that paperwork doesn't bar him from suing them ... TMZ has learned.
According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Jeff Jenkins Productions -- the company behind the Hulu reality show -- said Marciano's lawsuit should be thrown out.
As TMZ previously reported, Marciano sued 'Mormon Wives' cast member Demi Engemann and Jeff Jenkins for defamation. Marciano claimed he consensually hooked up with Demi ... only for her to make it appear he sexually assaulted her afterward.
Marciano decided to shoot for 'Mormon Wives' after being asked by his friend/cast member Chase McWhorter, months after he filed his suit. He said he was asked to sign a release after the shoot, which he says he believed was for payment ... but turned out to be an agreement that prohibited him from suing the producers.

Our sources were not clear on whether TFP or Mortensen will be a part of filming with the rest of the cast when cameras go back up.

Joe Exotic is back in lockdown and this time it's over social media posts ... TMZ has learned.
The "Tiger King" star's attorney, Peter Ticktin, tells TMZ ... Joe has been placed in the Special Housing Unit at his federal prison in Texas since last week. According to Ticktin, Joe was disciplined after social media posts were shared online on his behalf ... though it's unclear if one specific message triggered the move or if it was a buildup.
As Ticktin puts it ... "The prison decided not to like his posts."
Joe is currently being held in isolation, and while his legal team hopes he'll be released within 15 days, there are no guarantees, and inmates aren't always told when they're getting out. Ticktin says he hasn't been able to speak with Joe since he was moved to SHU.

The family was supposed to hold court Monday outside the Hall of Justice in Downtown Los Angeles and give a statement through their lawyer ... but it never happened ... and now we know why.
Patrick Steinfeld, who is representing the family, tells TMZ ... "The Rivas Hernandez family are very private individuals who were overwhelmed by the day’s events. They were concerned for their safety when they heard about the bomb threat. They were intimidated by the onslaught of reporters and the aggressiveness of some camera people."
Sandra Lee -- AKA Dr. Pimple Popper -- says she's "getting better and better every day" after suffering a stroke last November.
TMZ caught up with the viral dermatologist -- and founder of SLMD Skincare -- in L.A. on Monday to see how she's doing now ... and she tells us she's focusing on taking better care of herself.
She assures us she's bouncing back and has returned to work, but is still having some small setbacks, saying ... "It's a little bit harder if I'm overworked or overstressed."
The doc says sometimes her voice falters or the grip in her left hand isn't as strong ... but she's still got a sense of humor about it.
The Congressman from Florida was reacting to Carlson's mea culpa, saying he felt partly responsible for Trump's 2024 victory. Carlson, who strongly opposes the Iran war, says he misled millions of fans.

Eyewitnesses tell us Hannah wasn’t rolling solo at the festival ... instead, she spent a good chunk of her time with an unidentified guy -- who stayed close by her side as they moved through the crowd.
Sources familiar with the situation tell us that the two are currently seeing each other. We’re told he's not a public figure, which is why they’re trying to keep things low-key for now.
At one point, the couple is seen going in for a smooch as they frolic through the festival grounds ... clearly enjoying their intimate moment among the masses.
Mark Geragosis sticking to his guns ... telling us Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman is full of it when he says the D.A.'s office and the LAPD worked in lockstep to arrest and charge D4vdwith Celeste Rivas' murder.
The famed defense attorney joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and called BS on some of Hochman's claims from Monday's news conference, where Hochman refuted what Geragos told us -- that LAPD went rogue in arresting D4vd -- on the "2 Angry Men" podcast.
Geragos says Hochman is just trying to put on a united front when, in reality, cops were fed up with a lack of action from prosecutors and moved to arrest D4vd to force their hand.
