Ava Phillippe has an objection to this comparison.
The 25-year-old had a hilariously awkward reaction to a fan’s comment about her and boyfriend Dakota Brubaker‘s “close” resemblance to her parents Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, who were married from 1999 to 2008.
“You guys,” Ava wrote on TikTok June 11, “whaaaaattt.”
In the accompanying video, the model stood in her kitchen with her mouth agape as Dakota—dressed in a black turtleneck and round glasses similar to Ryan’s Cruel Intentions character Sebastian Valmont—inched into frame with an equally perplexed look.
As the musician took off his glasses and shook his head, Ava mouthed, “No, no, no, no, no!”
Unfortunately, other TikTokers still saw it that way.
“Like literal Reese and Ryan,” one user quipped in the comments section, while another wrote, “Can’t unsee it now.”
While this may be the first time Dakota has been likened to Ryan, Ava and Reese have heard many mother-daughter comparisons over the years.
