and Ernie Lively (born Ernest W. Brown)

Lori and Robyn, and a half-brother, Jason. Both
of her parents and all of her siblings are,
or have been, in the entertainment industry.
During Lively's childhood, her parents would take her with them to
acting classes that they taught because they did not want to leave her with a babysitter.
Lively said that watching her parents teach acting classes helped her learn the "drills" of acting and gain confidence as she got older

Lively was initially not particularly interested in acting. During the summer between her junior and senior years of high school, her brother Eric, asked his agent to send her out on a few auditions over a period of a few months. From these few auditions, she got the role of Bridget for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.[ Lively filmed her scenes in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants between her junior and senior years at Burbank High School
