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.

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
