Reese Witherspoon's daughter Ava Phillippe moves in with her boyfriend
Reese Witherspoon 's daughter, Ava Phillippe, has taken a major step in her relationship with Dakota Brubaker. Earlier this month, the actress, 25, revealed she moved in with her partner Dakota Brubaker in a sweet TikTok video. As fans excitedly reacted to the news, many social media users couldn't help but point out the resemblance between the couple and Ava's parents. Ava and Dakota seemed to bear a striking resemblance to her parents, Reese Witherspoon, 49, and Ryan Phillippe, 50, who split in 2006 after seven years of marriage. Rather than ignore the online chatter, the pair leaned in to the comparisons in another video, which showed them looking dumbstruck before dressing like the her parents in 1999's Cruel Intentions. In response to her followers' cheeky remarks Ava captioned the video: 'you guys… whaaaaattt @Dakota Brubaker.' Ava and Dakota have been making a series of humorous TikToks together, including one on Dakota's account titled 'POV you and your gf finally move in together.' Mike Posner's Cooler Than Me was playing beneath the clip as Ava snuck up behind him and hugged him. He captioned the post: 'You'll be married in a year in the suburbs or something like that.' Under the post, TikTok users flooded the comments, with many declaring them the 'next gen Reese and Ryan.' The couple went official on social media in December when Ava posted a snap of her beau kissing her on the cheek in a photo booth. Dakota posted the same picture and added one of them sitting beneath a Christmas tree. It's unclear how the couple met, but both attended the University Of California at Berkeley. They were seen together at an event hosted by The Hollywood Reporter and Instagram for content creators in November 2024. Dakota is a musician who also goes by the name Vindigo. Dakota began as a member of a band by that name, but announced in August 2024 that it had become a solo project. Meanwhile Ava has been building her acting career with appearances in Dr Odyssey and Ransom Canyon. Prior to Dakota, she dated Owen Mahoney, another UC Berkeley student, from 2019 to early 2024.

A wild comment has left Reese Witherspoon's daughter grossed out
A wild comment about her romantic relationship has horrified Reese Witherspoon's and Ryan Phillippe's daughter. Ava Phillippe, 25, has recently been on a TikTok posting spree, sharing cute videos of herself and her musician boyfriend, Dakota Brubaker, to her more than a million followers. It was all going well until someone decided to compare her and her current boyfriend to her parents - yes, her parents. 'Close enough. Welcome back, Reece and Ryan,' the person commented. The 25-year-old posted a video response to the accusation, yelling, 'No, no, no' while waving her hands around in protest. 'You guys … what,' she captioned the video. Her objection didn't really work. It just made more people comment, claiming that her boyfriend looked like her dad and that she looked like her mum. 'If not cruel intentions why cruel intentions shaped?' One asked. 'I see it. Literal Reese and Ryan,' someone claimed. 'Your parents are iconic. Own it,' another instructed. Ava's movie star parents met in the 1990s, starred in Cruel Intentions together, got married in 1999, had two children, Ava and Deacon, and divorced in 2008. Outside of being disgusted that people are comparing her relationship to that of her divorced parents, Ava often goes viral because she looks so much like her mum. People have gone so far as to claim they look like 'twins,' and Ava's life is pretty unrelatable because of her celebrity upbringing. She attended The University of California but has dabbled in modelling and has most recently turned her hand to acting with guest roles in shows like Doctor Oddessy. While Ava has stayed away from mainstream media, her mum, Reese, did open up about parenting adult children on the US Today Show. 'First of all, you're managing them a lot when they're little, and it's very physical, and then it's more emotional support. And suggestions, not telling them what to do when they get a little bit older,' she said. She also stressed that you must 'nurture' your adult relationships with your children while still giving them 'space and respect' to become who they are. Witherspoon went on to emphasise the importance of maintaining a healthy bond with her children. 'You have to really nurture your adult relationship with your children too. And give them respect and space to become who they are, not who you want them to be,' she said.

Fans can't get over how much Ava Phillippe's boyfriend looks like her father
Ava Phillippe will never live down the comparisons — and neither will her boyfriend. The 25-year-old daughter of actors Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe has made plenty of headlines through the years due to her striking resemblance to her iconic mother and father. But now fans are bringing her boyfriend, Dakota Brubaker, into the mix. Ava Phillippe and Brubaker, a musician who goes by the stage name Vindigo, went Instagram official in December after previously teasing their relationship several months prior. On June 10, Ava Phillippe posted a TikTok video of her and Brubaker lip syncing to Ke$ha's hit song, 'Your Love Is My Drug.' And it didn't take long for the 16-second clip to go viral. 'Close enough. Welcome back Reese & Ryan!' one fan wrote in the comment section. Fans were quick to point out how much Ava Phillippe looked like a '50-50 match' of her parents, but others were more focused on how much Brubaker resembled her father. 'Thought it was her dad for a split second,' one fan wrote, while another commented, 'Reese and Ryan is that you?' On June 11, Ava Phillippe returned to TikTok with a hilarious reaction to the comparisons. In the video, Ava Phillippe is standing in the kitchen when her boyfriend slides into frame wearing a black turtleneck and reading glasses — recreating her parents' look when they co-starred in 'Cruel Intentions.' 'You guys… whaaaaattt,' she wrote in the caption, while mouthing 'No, no, no, no,' in the video. The video was also set to The Verve's 'Bitter Sweet Symphony,' which was the song that played at the end of her parents' iconic movie, released in 1999. 'This song choice is DIABOLICAL,' one fan wrote in the comments, while another added, 'Not the turtle neck too.' Ryan Phillippe and Witherspoon met in 1997 at the latter's 21st birthday party, according to People. They quickly became one of Hollywood's biggest 'it' couples after announcing their engagement in 1998 and co-starred in 'Cruel Intentions' the following year, which officially put them on the map. The couple married in June 1999 and welcomed their first child (a daughter named Ava) in September of that year — six months after the premiere of 'Cruel Intentions.' 'I mean… technically you were IN Cruel Intentions…' one fan commented under Ava Phillippe's recent TikTok. Ryan Phillippe and Witherspoon welcomed a second child, a son named Deacon, in October 2003 before separating in 2006 and finalizing their divorce in 2008. Witherspoon has since welcomed a second son, Tennessee James, with her other ex-husband Jim Toth, whom she announced her divorce from in 2023. Meanwhile, Ryan Phillippe shares a second daughter, Kai, with his ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp.

Ava Phillippe Had a Hilarious Reaction to Her Boyfriend Being Compared to Dad Ryan Phillippe
When it comes to Ava Phillippe, she's been compared to her famous parents, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, her entire life. In every video she posts, every picture she shares, fans will be all over the comment section pointing out just how similar she looks to her parents when they were younger. But her latest post has apparently hit a nerve. On TikTok, the 25-year-old, who recently made her acting debut in Doctor Odyssey, posted a video alongside her boyfriend, Dakota Brubaker, singing to Kesha's 2010 song, 'Your Love Is My Drug.' While Ava sang the lyrics in a light brown off-the-shoulder top, brown belt, and jeans, Brubaker rocked out in the back in a black tank top, black sunglasses, and baggy jeans. More from SheKnows What Is 'Dusting'? The Viral TikTok Trend That Has Led to Teen Deaths 'Raised by Ke$ha ✨ #2010,' Ava wrote in the caption. In the comment section, fans not only continued to call out how Ava looks like her parents, but started making connections between her boyfriend (whom she's been dating since late 2024) and her dad. 'Close enough,' one commenter wrote. 'Welcome back Reese & Ryan!' 'Why is he giving Sebastian? 😌' another fan wrote, referencing Ryan's iconic role in the 1999 film Cruel Intentions. To the first comment above, Ava responded in another video. In it, Brubaker, now rocking a black long-sleeved turtleneck, removes his reading glasses and joins Ava in looking appalled at the camera. For all the Cruel Intentions fans out there, the look is almost exactly like the one Ryan wears in the movie. Coincidence much? In the video, Ava and Brubaker then join in mouthing 'no' over and over again while the song 'Bittersweet Symphony' by The Verve plays (which just so happens to be the final song in Cruel Intentions). If you ask us, they're totally in on the joke. 'You guys… whaaaaattt,' Ava wrote in the caption. In the comment section, fans continue to stand by the comparison. 'If not Cruel Intentions, why Cruel Intentions shaped?' one commenter joked. We couldn't agree more! Prior to her videos, rumors had circulated about a rift between Ava and her dad. But, in a recent interview with Elite Daily in May, Ava seemingly squashed any rumors of a feud. 'I've had a really good guiding light in my parents,' Ava told the outlet. 'They've always encouraged me to focus on my values rather than the noise.'Best of SheKnows All the Bachelor & Bachelorette Couples Who Are Still Together 23 Celebrities Who Embodied the Boho Fashion Trend (& How It's Coming Back in 2025) 13 Best Family Photos of Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, & Their 3 Kids

Ava Phillippe's Boyfriend Dakota Looks Like Dad Ryan
Any millennial will know that Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe were one of the hottest celebrity couples of the '90s, with the two striking up a relationship after they met at Reese's 21st birthday party in 1997. The following year, they worked together on the cult classic movie Cruel Intentions, which was released in 1999. It was later revealed that Reese had learned she was pregnant during filming, and she and Ryan welcomed a daughter, Ava, shortly after they got married. For reference, the couple also share a son, Deacon, who was born in 2003, and they split in 2006 but have remained amicable coparents as well as friends. Ava is now 25 years old, and you might recognize her name for all of the times she goes viral for being the spitting image of her famous mom, with fans often joking that they can't tell the two apart. But things took a bit of an awkward turn when Ava made a TikTok with her boyfriend, Dakota Brubaker, earlier this week, and people started to comment on how much he looks like Ava's dad. In the TikTok, Ava and Dakota are standing in a kitchen lip-syncing to a Kesha song, but viewers were more interested in Dakota's appearance. 'I literally thought that was your Dad in the back for a sec,' one of the comments reads, with several others following a similar vein. 'I seriously thought that was your dad!' somebody else wrote, while another echoed: 'I thought it was your dad on backup vocals.''why is he giving Sebastian? 😌' someone said of Dakota in apparent reference to Ryan's Cruel Intentions character. 'Reese and Ryan is that you 😳' one more asked. And Ava actually ended up posting a video response to another comment that read: 'Close enough. Welcome back Reese & Ryan!' In this TikTok, Dakota and Ava look uncomfortable and grossed out as they react to the comment, with the iconic song that plays at the end of Cruel Intentions — 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' by The Verve — used as the video's sound. Notably, Dakota appears to pay homage to Sebastian by wearing a black turtleneck and glasses in the clip. 'you guys… whaaaaattt @Dakota Brubaker,' Ava wrote in the post's caption, but she has not said anything else on the matter and Dakota went public with their relationship in late 2024, with it believed that they met while both attending the University of California, Berkeley.
