Reese Witherspoon’s daughter, Ava Phillippe, has taken a major step in her relationship with Dakota Brubaker.
Earlier this month, the actress, 25, revealed she moved in with her partner Dakota Brubaker in a sweet TikTok video.
As fans excitedly reacted to the news, many social media users couldn’t help but point out something a little unusual about the couple.
The two seemed to bear a striking resemblance to Ava’s parents, Reese Witherspoon, 49, and Ryan Phillippe, 50, who split in 2006 after seven years of marriage.
Rather than ignore the online chatter, the pair leaned in to the comparisons in another video, which showed them looking dumbstruck at one of her follower’s comments.
In a cheeky post, the duo showed their horrified reactions to one woman writing: ‘Close enough. Welcome back Reese and Ryan.’
Ava, who is a carbon copy of her Oscar-winning mom, looked shocked, while Dakota, a musician, stood by her side.

As Ava waved her arms and shook her head, Dakota seemed less bothered.
Dakota even seemed to embrace the comparison by putting on a pair of glasses and black turtleneck sweater similar to the one Ryan wore in 1999’s Cruel Intentions.
‘you guys… whaaaaattt @Dakota Brubaker,’ Ava captioned the video.
The pair have been making a series of humorous videos together on the platform, including one on Dakota’s account titled ‘POV you and ur gf finally move in together.’
Mike Posner’s Cooler than Me was playing beneath the clip as Ava snuck up behind he guy and hugged him.
‘You’ll be married in a year in the suburbs or something like that,’ he captioned the post.
Under the post, TikTok users flooded the comments, with many declaring them the ‘next gen reese and ryan.’
The couple went official on social media in December when Ava posted a snap of her beau kissing her on the cheek in a photo booth.
