Reese Witherspoon and Daughter Ava Phillippe Look Exactly Alike In Makeup-Free Family Photo
We all know Reese Witherspoon and her 21-year-old daughter Ava Phillipe are practically doppelgangers, but they looked more alike than ever in a recent family snapshot.
On August 28, Witherspoon posted a makeup-free family photo with the children that she shares with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. “Gosh, I’m lucky to be their mom 😊️,” Reese Witherspoon wrote alongside the photo with Ava and 17-year-old Deacon Phillippe.

It's honestly wild how much these kids look like their parents. While Ava is a practically perfect match for her mom, Deacon is a mirror of his dad. Check out this family picture on Phillippe's Instagram back in 2018 when Ava was just 19 and Deacon was 14. “Me n mine 🖤,” he wrote at the time. Tell me those are not Reese and Ryan mini-mes.

Reese Witherspoon, who was married to her Cruel Intentions costar from 1999 to 2007, welcomed her daughter just two months after the pair tied the knot. In a new episode of Dax Shepard's podcast Armchair Expert, the Big Little Lies actor opened up about her experience as a new mom.
"I did not have a lot of support with my first baby and I learned really early, like, this is not going to work," she said, per People. "I tried to muscle through for five months with Ava, just not sleeping and I became delirious."
Now, 22 years later, she's an expert as a mother of three. She shares her youngest son, eight-year-old Tennesse James with talent agent Jim Toth. However, Witherspoon told Kristen Bell and Monica Padman that she “couldn't have worked” through the first few months after her daughter was born. “I was lucky enough to have money saved and I didn't have to work, but it's just not a one-person job,” she continued. "I would even say it's not a two-person job."

She shared a beautiful tribute to Ava on her 21st birthday. “How is it possible that this little girl is now 21 years old? Happy Birthday to my sweet girl who has become the most incredible young woman,” she wrote in September 2020. “Her kindness, her compassion, and her huge heart never cease to amaze me. Ava, there aren’t enough words to describe how proud I am of everything you’ve already accomplished. I cannot wait to see ALL the Good you will put into this world. I love you so much @avaphillippe 💗.”
