Reese Witherspoon’s Daughter Has Come Out

Reese Witherspoon’s daughter, Ava Phillippe, recently spoke about her romantic preferences on Instagram. Witherspoon, 47, shares Ava and her son, Deacon, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe and has another son, Tennessee, with former spouse Jim Toth. Shortly before what would have been their 12th wedding anniversary, Witherspoon and Toth announced their divorce, emphasizing their commitment to family.

Unlike her mother, who gained fame later, Ava grew up in the public eye. Witherspoon often seeks advice from her Hollywood peers and encourages her children to explore their identities. She admires Ava’s down-to-earth personality and her passion for making a difference.

At 24, Ava is frequently compared to her mother but has carved out her own successful path. In a recent Instagram interaction, she addressed her romantic interests, saying, “I’m attracted to… people!” and adding, “Gender is whatever.” While she didn’t label her sexuality, her statement aligns with pansexuality, which refers to attraction regardless of gender.

Ava has been linked to Owen Mahoney, a fellow UC Berkeley student, since around 2019, though their current relationship status remains uncertain.
