Reese Witherspoon celebrates daughter Ava Phillippe’s 16th birthday with a freakishly identical snap
WITH her blonde hair, blue eyes and that same distinct heart-shaped face, you wouldn’t be alone in confusing Ava Phillippe for her famous mother.
REESE Witherspoon’s sweet tribute to her daughter will have you doing a double take.
The Legally Blonde star baffled fans, with an adorable snap of her eldest child Ava Phillipe in celebration of her 16th birthday.
With her long blonde hair, blue eyes and the same distinct heart-shaped-face, you wouldn’t be alone in thinking Witherspoon’s latest Instagram snap was rather a throwback of her younger self.
“OMG! I thought that was a pic of Reese on the right! Wow!” said one stunned fan.
“Straight outta Cruel Intentions. Amazing how she looks just like her beautiful mother,” said another.
Witherspoon gushed, captioning the shot with a touching birthday message: “Wow! My sweet girl turns 16 today!”
“I am so blessed to have such a kind, compassionate, brilliant, artistic, all-around wonderful daughter who makes me a better person everyday.”
“I love you @avaphillippe.”
The famous actress gave birth to Ava when she was 23, shortly after tying the knot to her now ex-husband Ryan Phillippe in 1999.
“I didn’t know what I was doing. I was young. It was shocking,” the 39-year-old star joked, on opening up to Glamour last December.
“When people ask, “When’s the best time to get pregnant?” I say, “Pick the best day for when your entire life is gonna change. There’s no good time to have your world turned upside down.”
She also added that she hopes to teach Ava, “To not be ashamed about any of her experiences. To live life fully, with curiosity and love, and to be brave.”
The proud mother-of-three regularly shares snaps of Ava, her brother Deacon Phillippe (11) and half brother Tennessee Toth (2), son to her second husband Jim Toth whom she married in 2011.
It is inevitable that the stunning teen will follow in the footsteps of her famous parents.
The lookalike mother-daughter duo recently documented their summer vacation in Rome, where they rubbed shoulders with famous designer Valentino.
