UCLA star Lauren Betts drops 1-word reaction to casual snap with sister Sienna Betts

The Betts sisters — Lauren Betts and Sienna Betts — will play at UCLA next season. Sienna, the younger sister, and the No. 2 ranked recruit in the 2025 class, per 247Sports, committed to the Bruins last year.

On Tuesday, Lauren posted a photo with Sienna on her Instagram story as the two sisters posed together in casual outfits. Lauren added a one-word caption to the snap.

"Ate," she wrote.

They were in Laguna Beach, California, and the picture was taken at night in front of the Cliff Restaurant.

Lauren Betts played one season at Stanford before transferring to UCLA for her sophomore year. After struggling to find consistent minutes with the Cardinal, Betts became a star for the Bruins and was one of the best players in the country the last two seasons. She led Cori Close's team to its first Final Four appearance, averaging 20.2 points and 9.5 rebounds.

Lauren, who will be a senior next season, is hoping to go further next season and win a national championship before she departs for the WNBA.

Lauren Betts and her sister Sienna expect to elevate UCLA's post play immediately

With Lauren Betts solidifying her presence and Sienna Betts poised to make an immediate impact, UCLA's frontcourt is set to become a formidable force next season.

The sisters spoke with the Daily Bruin this week about the anticipation of playing together and the bond they share.

"With her being a forward and I’m a center, we already are going to have to play well together," Lauren said. "But I think on top of that, we just know what we both like to do on the floor so well. And, obviously, I know her skills and she knows mine."

Lauren was the one who pushed for her younger sister to come play for the Bruins. Initially, Sienna wasn't sure if she wanted to join her older sister in Westwood.

However, during her campus visit, Lauren gave a PowerPoint presentation outlining all the reasons she should become a Bruin — and Sienna was convinced.
