Reese Witherspoon’s daughter, Ava Phillippe, recently shared her thoughts on her romantic preferences through an Instagram post. Witherspoon, 47, who shares Ava and her son Deacon with her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, also has another son, Tennessee, with her former spouse Jim Toth. Just before what would have been their 12th wedding anniversary, Witherspoon and Toth announced their divorce, emphasizing their ongoing dedication to family.

Unlike her mother, who rose to fame later in life, Ava has grown up in the public eye. Witherspoon often turns to her Hollywood friends for advice and encourages her children to explore their individual identities. She has expressed admiration for Ava’s grounded nature and her desire to make a meaningful impact in the world.

At 24, Ava, who is frequently compared to her famous mother, has built her own successful path. In a recent Instagram conversation, she addressed her romantic preferences, saying, “I’m attracted to… people!” and adding, “Gender is whatever.” While she didn’t specifically label her sexuality, her statement suggests an alignment with pansexuality, which is the attraction to people regardless of gender.

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