Nepo-baby with Hollywood A-list mom and movie hunk dad lands TV job with top stars – can you guess her famous parents?

Published on April 06, 2025 at 04:11 PM

THIS nepo-baby is following in the very famous footsteps of her mom and dad.

The pretty brunette, 25, has made her acting debut after landing a role in a big TV show.

Earlier this week, the rising star appeared in ABC's Doctor Odyssey alongside former Dawson's Creek star Joshua Jackson.

But do you know who she is?

Ava Phillippe is the daughter of Hollywood A-listers Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe.

The actress shares an extremely striking resemblance to her famous mom, although she has dyed her hair brown for her role in Doctors Odyssey.

Ava starred as Veronica in the show, one of three college vixens that were vying for Max's (Jackson's) attention.

Ahead of her television acting debut, the official Doctor Odyssey TikTok account shared a clip that was taken on set to promote the show.

Wearing a hot pink bikini, Ava easily could have been mistaken for Reese's character Elle Woods in Legally Blonde.

With her hair pulled back into a loose ponytail and with a colourful sarong wrapped around her waist, Ava urged fans to watch.

She said, “Hi y'all, it's Ava Phillippe, playing Veronica on the spring break episode of Doctor Odyssey. Tune in!”

Commenting, one fan replied, “She really looks like her mom.”

Another added, “Isn’t that Reese Witherspoon’s daughter?!”

And a third said, “The fact that she reminds me exactly of her mom and her dad at the same time is wild.”

Reese, 49, and her Cruel Intentions co-star Ryan, 50, welcomed Ava into the world in 1999, just three months after they had married.

Four years later, they became parents again to son Deacon before splitting in 2006.

Both Reese and Ryan went on to have more children with new partners, yet they have always remained united in co-parenting Ava and Deacon.

In 2010, Ryan spoke about his parenting arrangements with his ex-wife during an appearance on The Ellen Show.

Ava was 10 and Deacon was just six at the time.

Confirming he and Reese were still friends, he said, “It's so important as divorced parents, I think, to keep that connection. It makes the kids feel better.

“They know the parents are interacting and with each other.

“We show up to all the school events together and, yeah, we're there for each other.”

Ryan added, “In our line of work, you have to be flexible because from one week to the next, you don't know where you're going to have to be.

“So we've done a really good with that and our kids are happy and healthy and doing awesome.”

More recently, Reese spoke about Ava and Deacon's childhoods as they grew up with famous parents.

The Morning Show star said, “It’s an odd situation because I didn’t grow up famous. So [Ava is] living an experience that I did not have, and so are my sons.

“We are lucky enough to have friends who grew up in Hollywood and can help give them advice on how to navigate.”;

Reese added, “Ava is so down-to-earth. She wants to do great things in the world. She’s studying and learning and trying to find herself. ]

“It’s a big thing in life to try different things and figure out what is really your path.”;
