Ava Phillippe and her boyfriend Dakota Brubaker were visibly weirded out after someone in the comments of their lip-syncing TikTok video pointed out that Brubaker looks like Ryan Phillippe, Ava's dad.

We all know that it's genetics at play when we see a kid grow up looking distinctly like one of their parents.

But what's it called when your partner also looks like one of your parents?


Without making it sound too weird or gross, Ava Phillippe and her boyfriend, Dakota Brubaker, found themselves in an odd but funny situation when TikTokers began to compare them to her parents, calling them the new "Ryan and Reese."

25-year-old Phillippe is the daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, who began dating when Witherspoon was 21, only to go on and film Cruel Intentions together—when Witherspoon was pregnant with Ava.

Since then, Phillippe's videos have frequently gone viral, with fellow TikTokers commenting on how much she looks like her mom, and how certain facial expressions make her look like her dad. But since she moved in with her boyfriend, Brubaker, the comments have certainly gotten wilder.

Standing in their kitchen, the pair filmed a TikTok, lip-syncing a Ke$ha song with Brubaker popping out from behind Phillippe, singing into a hairbrush.

TikTokers instead fixated on Brubaker's look.

Seeing the pair of twenty-somethings threw fans of Cruel Intentions straight back into the film. Some claimed that Brubaker looked exactly like Ryan Phillippe, while others went so far as to say that the pair could be the new "Ryan and Reese."

In response, the pair shared a follow-up TikTok, pinning a "Ryan and Reese" comment as a text overlay.

Brubaker leaned into the frame, wearing a black turtle neck sweater and silver wire-rim glasses, like Ryan Phillippe did in Cruel Intentions, and both shook their head "no."

No one's saying that Phillippe and Brubaker have to be the new Reese and Ryan, or that they're going to follow the same path. But it is uncanny.

There's this belief most of the time that if you have a really good friend, you probably shouldn't try to push it to the "next level," or else you'll risk losing that friendship if the relationship doesn't work out.

Don Jr. Creepy AI Ad Starring Dad

When then-vice presidential nominee Governor Tim Walz called Donald Trump and the Republicans “weird,” he may have been understating things.

Case in point: the latest bizarre stunt from Donald Trump Jr.—the president’s son and full-time internet troll—who tried to mock Democrats by posting an AI-generated image of his father, labeled as “hot.” Yes, really.
