Blake Lively Names Her New Drink Brand After Late Father

  • 3 years ago
Betty continues to inspire! Blake Lively named her newest venture, Betty Buzz, after her late father, Ernie Lively. Her youngest daughter with her husband Ryan Reynolds is also named Betty.

The actress, 34, announced the line of sparkling, non-alcoholic mixers on Thursday, September 23. “Well, at least it’s not celebrity alcohol? Meet @BettyBuzz mixers,” she tweeted.
While Lively appeared to be trolling Reynolds, 44, over his own brand, he took the joke in stride. “Luckily they pair deliciously with @AviationGin,” he chimed in, retweeting her original post. “Coincidence? Conspiracy? Hard to say.”

The couple, who tied the knot in September 2012, are the parents of daughters James, 6, Inez, 4, and Betty, 2. They kept their third child’s name private until July 2020 when their pal Taylor Swift revealed it in her song “Betty.”

Lively explained in a press release that the inspiration for the brand’s name stemmed from her late father, Ernie Lively, who died of cardiac complications in June at age 74.
