Former Hollywood power couple Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe (both of whom starred in Cruel Intentions with Sarah Michelle Geller and Selma Blair) had two children together. Son Deacon Phillippe is a singer, and daughter Ava Phillippe is a model/actress.
[Witherspoon and Phillippe were married from 1999 to 2007.]
When Ava, now 23, dropped the swimsuit photo below (she’s modeling a strappy blue cutout one-piece for fashion label Aerie), more than one fan noted her resemblance to her Oscar winner mother.
One fan replied: “Had to do a double take thinking it was Reese.” Another chimed in: “Holy just wow you’re your mother’s twin! Even more beautiful.” And another: “Gorgeous like your mama.”
Above is Ava “soaking up the sun” again but for Free People. And below is Ava and her brother Deacon modeling for Beyonce’s IvyPark collaboration with Adidas.
Get ready to see more of Witherspoon: she’s reprising her role as Harvard Law School graduate Elle Woods in the third installment of the Legally Blond film franchise. Jennifer Coolidge, Alanna Ubach and Jessica Cauffiel are back, too.
