Reese Witherspoon’s daughter, Ava Phillippe, openly discussed her sexuality on Instagram. Witherspoon, 47, shares Ava and her son Deacon with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe and has another son, Tennessee, with ex Jim Toth. Just before their 12th anniversary, Witherspoon and Toth announced their divorce, prioritizing their family.
Ava’s upbringing differs from Witherspoon’s, who wasn’t famous as a child. Witherspoon values advice from Hollywood friends. She supports her children in finding themselves, emphasizing Ava’s grounded nature and desire to make a difference.
Ava, 24, often mistaken for her mom, has her own successful career. She recently engaged with her Instagram followers, discussing her romantic interests. When asked, she simply stated, “I’m attracted to… people!” She added, “Gender is whatever.” Though she didn’t explicitly state her sexuality, her attraction aligns with pansexuality, defined as being attracted to people regardless of gender.
Ava is believed to be dating Owen Mahoney, a fellow UC Berkeley student, since around 2019. Their current relationship status is unclear.
