Reese Witherspoon’s nepo baby Ava Phillippe was mortified after her followers pointed out an awkward detail about herself and her live-in boyfriend since September, 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.

In the comments section, Ava liked what TikTok user @megan_wbf wrote: ‘I mean… technically you were IN Cruel Intentions…’

‘If not Cruel Intentions why Cruel Intentions shaped?’ user @movieusher asked.

‘OMG they did not. LOL!’ user @alltoosammi13 wrote. ‘Your parents are iconic though. And so are you for this video.’

User @ccbloom2024 commented: ‘I mean… you have to admit he looks just like your dad!’

‘LOL can’t unsee it. It’s the hair,’ user @dhuns2219 agreed.

‘I genuinely have never seen someone have both their parents’ features so strongly,’ user @brittyisthebee1 wrote.

‘Like some of the faces you make you’re all your mom and this one you are all your dad. It’s insane how you look exactly like one or the other in different angles.’

Last year, Phillippe – who studied social welfare at UC Berkeley – said the best beauty tip she ever got from The Morning Show producer-star was ‘Pretty is as pretty does.’

‘You are only as beautiful as you treat other people, as you treat yourself, and as you are on the inside,’ the 5ft2in brunette told Allure.

'You guys,' Phillippe scoffed in the caption. 'Whaaaaattt.'

‘And I really do think that’s true for outer beauty, that what’s inside comes through and is almost more apparent than you realize.’

By contrast, Ava appears to have little to no relationship with Ryan, whom she hasn’t been pictured with since 2018.

Phillippe began her modeling career at age 19 in 2018 for Rodarte’s Fall lookbook.

The Planned Parenthood campaigner went on to star in campaigns for Ivy Park, Pat McGrath Labs, and Vince Camuto as well as Reese’s clothing company, Draper James.

Ava – 1.1M Instagram/TikTok followers – is also every bit the influencer with paid partnerships for brands like the Michael Kors, Dior Beauty, Fendi, Clarins, and Golden Goose.

Meanwhile, the UC Berkeley grad – whose stage name is Vindigo – has been recording his first-ever full-length studio album over the past two months.
