Blake Lively isn't the only talent in her household, and no, we're not talking about her husband Ryan Reynolds.

The It Ends With Us actress is the youngest of five kids, and in pursuing an acting career, she was following in the footsteps of all four of her older siblings.

Passion for acting and the entertainment industry is in the Gossip Girl alum's DNA; her mom Elaine Lively is a talent agent, while her dad Ernie Lively, who passed away in 2021 aged 74, was an actor and acting coach — he starred as her dad in her breakthrough film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Ernie was Elaine's second husband. Prior to their 1979 marriage, she was married to Ronnie Lively, with whom she welcomed daughters Lori and Robyn, and son Jason, who Ernie later adopted. Their first child together, Eric, was born in 1981, followed by Blake in 1987.

Read on for all we know about Blake's four siblings.
