Time sure does fly! Iconic actress Reese Witherspoon’s daughter, Ava Phillippe, is turning 18 years old on Sept. 9, and her famous mom can’t believe her little girl’s first “adult” birthday is right around the corner! As Ava steps into adulthood, Reese reflects on the journey they've shared together and the memories they've created. The bond between a mother and daughter is truly special, and Reese's pride in Ava shines through as she navigates this new chapter.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Reese opened up about her daughter, expressing her deep admiration for Ava as she grows older. The 41-year-old actress proudly gushed about how much she admires her daughter, who bears a striking resemblance to her. This milestone not only marks Ava's transition to adulthood but also serves as a reminder of the precious moments shared between them over the years.

Reese gave birth to Ava when she was just 23 years old, nearly 10 years after her first film role. With a career filled with remarkable achievements, Reese has always balanced her professional life with being a devoted mother. She seems quite lenient when it comes to her movie roles, believing that all her films are a labor of love that she wants to share with her children. “I mean all of them are a labor of love and effort that you put into them,” she stated. “So I’m very proud of the fact that I’ve worked a lot in my life.”

As a child of two well-known actors, Ava has often been mistaken for Reese's twin, much to her amusement. “People come up to her [all the time]. We were at a premiere, and they were congratulating her on her performance,” Ava once revealed. “She’s like, ‘I’m not in the movie!’” Such experiences highlight the unique challenges and joys that come with being in the spotlight.

Reese couldn’t agree more with the public’s perception of her daughter. “I do see the resemblance. She’s a beautiful person inside and out. She’s just a good soul. I’m not sure what she thinks. I’m just ‘Mom’ to her,” she said. This heartwarming sentiment perfectly encapsulates the essence of their relationship. Reese also mentioned how she cherishes the ability to share both her career and life experiences with her children, creating a rich and fulfilling bond.
