Reese Witherspoon has a long list of accomplishments under her belt.
For instance, she’s an Academy Award-winning actress and the co-founder of the successful media company Hello Sunshine.
But Reese is also the proud mother of three children.
She shares daughter Ava Phillippe, 24, and son Deacon Phillippe, 20, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. Reese also shares son Tennessee James Toth, 11, with ex-husband Jim Toth.
The eldest of Reese’s three kids, Ava, is often described as a ‘mini-Reese’ as she bears a striking resemblance to her mother.
And it’s clear the mother-daughter duo have a great relationship; for Reese’s 47th birthday, Ava – who has a rather successful modelling career – penned a lengthy message to her mother on Instagram.
“HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this legendary lady I’m lucky enough to call my mama! She is truly a force of nature. While I am endlessly inspired by her and so proud of all she’s accomplished, what I admire most is the way she moves through the world as a curious, considerate, gracious, and loving person.
“With each year, I find even more reasons to love her, and I am thrilled to celebrate another year of her bright light in my life! Love you always,” Ava wrote.
“How did I get so lucky to have a daughter like you?” Reese replied in the comments.
