While Blake Lively has worked her way up to becoming a household name, she's far from the only famous face in her family.
Blake, 36, has come a long way since bursting onto the scene with the likes of Gossip Girl and The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.
Most recently she has starred in It Ends With Us, a film about domestic abuse based on a novel of the same name and written by Colleen Hoover.
She is also currently facing a swirl of rumours of creative differences behind the scenes, between herself and the director, Justin Baldoni.

It's likely Blake has been immersing herself in family time as a welcome distraction from social media - and it's likely she'll be leaning on her famous big sister - Robyn Lively.
Robyn, 52, has been acting since she was just six-years-old and then went on to secure roles in high profile big screen hits including Teen Witch and The Karate Kid Part III.
She eventually went on to become Emmy nominated, owing to her performance in ABC Afterschool Special in 1991.
She also landed roles in TV series such as Twin Peaks, Savannah and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Despite being 16 years older than her sister Blake, she has referred to her as her 'best friend' on social media.
Taking to Instagram in 2022 to celebrate Blake's birthday, Robyn posted a series of photos of herself and her sister, captioning them: "Awww you’re my best friend …. Now everyone knows you’re barely barely younger than me. Happy Birthday sweet sissy, you’re kinda special to me."
In a more recent post, she congratulated Blake on It Ends With Us.
She wrote: "What an honour to be able to support my sister with our family in the greatest performance of her career! It’s not an easy watch, but man is it an important one. She brings such levity and grace to this heartbreaking performance and also leaves you feeling empowered and hopeful.
"I literally watched her pour her heart and soul into this film, surviving on little to no sleep. You cannot fathom the work she put into this in front of and behind the camera.
"Her DNA is sprinkled throughout like magical fairy dust. I honestly don’t know how she does it all. I’m bursting with pride!"
Talking about the difference in age between the pair, Robyn told Fox News: "There’s a significant age gap which feels almost nonexistent because [Blake is] now a mom.
"We have so many similarities. Our relationship is on a deeper level. We used to help each other with our projects and lines, things like that. Now we’re doing the mom thing together. … I genuinely feel like her children are mine as if I gave birth to them, and vice versa.”
