Ryan Phillippe And Reese Witherspoon's Daughter Hilariously Reacts To Being Told Her Boyfriend Looks Like Her Dad

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.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
