Reese Witherspoon shares rare photo with lookalike daughter, Ava Phillippe
Ahead of the premiere of Hot Pursuit last night, Reese Witherspoon shared a rare photo of her older child, Ava Phillippe — and, wow, there’s no denying Reese passed on her good looks! (Ava does have dad Ryan Philippe’s eyes, though, doesn’t she?)
“Me and my girl,” Reese said on Instagram of the picture her 15-year-old daughter. Ava shared the same picture on her Instagram and added, “me and my ‘straight-shooter.'”
It seems Ava’s made an effort to set herself apart from Mom in recent months by dying her hair pink in November and then blue a short time back. She provides more glimpses into her life as a pretty typical teen on Instagram — where she likes to poke fun at her parents, document Coachella and post pictures with her siblings.
Ava’s Instagram isn’t just artsy — she is, too, based on one of her pictures that Ryan shared in 2013.
Reese and Ryan, who are also parents to son Deacon, divorced in 2007. Fortunately, they remain on the same page about how to raise their kids.
“That’s been a core element of our parenting both Reese and I with the kids, keeping them aware,” Ryan told E! News in 2013. “Neither of us grew up particularly privileged. Our kids are now, so it’s important to keep them mindful and I’ve got to say we’ve done that job.”
