Signature

Blake Ellender Lively^[a] (born August 25, 1987)^[2] is an American actress. A daughter of actor Ernie Lively, she made her professional debut in his directorial project Sandman (1998). She had her breakthrough role in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) and its 2008 sequel. Lively achieved stardom with her portrayal of Serena van der Woodsen in the CW teen drama television series Gossip Girl (2007\u20132012). During this period, she also took on supporting roles in the romantic comedies New York, I Love You (2008) and The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009), as well as in the thrillers The Town (2010) and Savages (2012).\n

Lively shifted her focus to films in ensuing years. After a supporting role in Woody Allen's ensemble comedy Caf\u00e9 Society (2016), she took on lead roles in the romantic fantasy The Age of Adaline (2015), the survival film The Shallows (2016), and the comedy thriller A Simple Favor (2018). She expanded her career by directing Taylor Swift's 2021 music video \"I Bet You Think About Me\", and produced and starred opposite Justin Baldoni in Baldoni's romantic drama It Ends with Us (2024). The latter emerged as her biggest box office success, but drew controversy following a troubled production and Lively's controversial promotion of it. This eventuated in a number of lawsuits, including Lively and Baldoni suing each other for defamation.\n

Offscreen, Lively has been labeled a fashion icon. She is married to actor Ryan Reynolds, with whom she has four children.\n
