Reese Witherspoon shared new family photos on Instagram as the holidays near. Fans focused on one shot of Reese with her daughter, Ava.
In the photo, Reese and Ava smile at the camera. Many people said they had to look twice. They said Ava looks almost exactly like her mom.

Fans also pointed out something else. They said Ava looks a lot like her dad, Ryan Phillippe, too.
People online summed it up like this:
- “I see Ryan in one feature, then Reese in another.”
- “She looks like both of them at the same time.”
- “Her dad’s eyes look so clear in this photo.”
Some also mentioned Reese and Ryan’s son, Deacon. They said he looks more like Reese. They noted that kids can take after either parent.
This is not new for Reese and Ava. Photos of the pair often spark the same comments. In February 2024, Reese posted pictures with Ava in France during Paris Fashion Week. Fans joked that Reese had a “twin” she kept secret.
