Blake Lively, best known for her roles in Gossip Girl and It Ends With Us, grew up in a family deeply rooted in the entertainment industry. Blake, the youngest of five siblings, followed in the footsteps of her older brothers and sisters, who pursued acting careers.
Her passion for the craft runs in the family. Her mother, Elaine Lively, is a talent agent, while her late father, Ernie Lively, was an actor and acting coach. Ernie, who passed away in 2021, even played Blake’s on-screen father in her breakout film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
Blake’s siblings include Lori, Jason, Robyn, and Eric—all of whom have had careers in film and television. Lori, the eldest, has appeared in shows like ER and Two and a Half Men and now works as a coach for Disney. Robyn starred in The Karate Kid Part III and is married to High School Musical Star, Bart Johnson. Jason and Eric both made early marks in the industry before pursuing other interests.
