Reese Witherspoon’s nepo baby Ava Phillippe channels her iconic role for acting debut

Reese Witherspoon’s nepo baby Ava Phillippe channels her iconic role for acting debut

Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava Phillippe is following in her famous mom’s footsteps.

The 25-year-old is set to make her acting debut on this week’s episode of ABC series Doctor Odyssey, and will star as one of three college ‘vixens’ vying for Max’s (played by Joshua Jackson) attention.

In a behind-the-scenes promotional clip, Ava was pictured channeling her mom’s, 49, iconic Elle Woods character from Legally Blonde in a bright pink ʙικιɴι.

The two-piece was strikingly similar to the one her mom donned for her Harvard video application in the 2001 film.

Ava — whose father is actor Ryan Phillippe, 50 — also matched her mom’s chunky necklace, though while Reese wore an iconic Tiffany’s heart shaped chain, Ava wore a gold V for her character’s name, Veronica. 

The other two nepo baby ‘vixens’ starring alongside Ava are Paris Jackson, the daughter of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe, and Charlotte Lawrence, the daughter of Bill Lawrence and Christa Miller.

‘Hi y’all, it’s Ava Phillippe, playing Veronica on the spring break episode of Doctor Odyssey. Tune in!’ she said in the video. 

Other guest appearances include Ariel Yasmine, Anthony Turpel, Noah Beck and Kathryn Newton, according to TV Insider. 

The episode will air on Thursday April 3. 

Doctor Odyssey follows a group of doctors and nurses on a cruise ship.

The show explores the unique challenges of providing healthcare in an unpredictable environment.

The first episode of Doctor Odyssey premiered on September 26.

Ava is not like other Hollywood nepo babies — despite having an A-list mom, she has worked hard to establish her own idenтιтy.

Sharing the actress’ hard worth ethic, Ava attended UC Berkley before diving into the modeling industry.

She has gone on to pose for Rodarte’s Fall look book in 2018, Ivy Park in 2021 and Aerie. 

In 2021 she told Daily Pop that she has not ruled out a career in acting. 

She also revealed that her parents have encouraged her to pursue her own career.

‘My parents have always encouraged me to choose the path that’s right for me and, you know, guide me along the way to make better choices than I might make.’

‘I’m so grateful for that. That is such a privilege to have parents that support you in that way and want you to be who you truly are meant to be,’ she added. 

On Ava’s 25th birthday in September Reese posted a gushing tribute via Instagram calling her daughter ‘the most genuinely kind-hearted’ person she knows.

Reese shares her daughter with her actor ex-husband Ryan. The pair married on June 5, 1999 after meeting on the set of Cruel Intentions two years prior.

The former couple welcomed Ava on September 1999 and son Deacon, 21, in October 2003 before making the decision to divorce on June 13, 2008.

Aside from Ava, Reese also shares son Deacon, 21, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, 50; Ava, Reese and Deacon seen in December 2019

The Big Little Lies star married her second husband, talent agent Jim Toth on March 26, 2011. But she filed for divorce on March 30, 2023. 

The proceedings were finalized on August of the same year, citing irreconcilable differences.

They share son, Tennessee James Toth, 11, born on September 27, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.

Reese has since moved on to German financier, Oliver Haarmann.
