Reese Witherspoon’s nepo baby Ava Phillippe was mortified after her followers pointed out an awkward detail about herself and her boyfriend Dakota Brubaker on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old LBI Entertainment model decided to respond to a comment from TikTok user @mahriahlee which called them ‘Reese & Ryan’ – implying they resembled the 49-year-old Oscar winner and her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.
Ava – who’s named after Ava Gardner – visibly cringed reacting to the comment, waving her hands no, while Dakota looked equally uncomfortable.
‘You guys,’ Phillippe scoffed in the caption. ‘Whaaaaattt.’
However, the Kamala Harris supporter also leaned into the comparison by having the anthem from her famous folks’ 1999 movie Cruel Intentions – The Verve’s 1997 hit Bittersweet Symphony – blaring in the background.
And Brubaker wore glasses and a black turtleneck to more authentically evoke Ryan’s character Sebastian Valmont, who seduces the innocent Annette Hargrove (Reese) in Roger Kumble’s modern adaptation of the 1782 novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
Witherspoon and the 50-year-old SAG Award winner – who are also parents of 21-year-old son Deacon Phillippe – divorced in 2007 after seven years of marriage.
