Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon sure has some beautiful genes that her daughter Ava Philippe definitely got. In a latest social media post by the one and only phenomenal 'Legally Blonde' actress Witherspoon, showing a split photo of her daughter on her younger years and on her teenage years for Ava's 16^th birthday, it is noticeable that Ava absolutely looks like her mom!

It is true when they said 'Like mother like daughter' especially in Witherspoon's case since her 16-year-old daughter Ava with former husband and actor Ryan Philippe definitely gave proof that the two look exactly alike

In the photo that Witherspoon posted on her Instagram, she wrote, "Wow! My sweet girl turns 16 today! I am so blessed to have such a kind, compassionate, brilliant, artistic, all-around wonderful daughter who makes me a better person everyday. I [love] you @avaphillipe," as caption alongside the split photo.

Ava is Witherspoon's firstborn and she gave birth to her when she was 23 years old. And in June of 1999, Ava's dad and Witherspoon's 'Cruel Intentions' co-star Ryan tied the knot and had one more child together, Deacon Phillippe who's now 11 years old.

Witherspoon then had Tennesee Toth who's 2 with second husband Jim Toth. It seems like Witherspoon and her children get along really well with her mini-me Ava previously posting one photo of her and her look alike mother on her Instagram writing the caption, "me and my "straight-shooter"" alongside the photo of her and Witherspoon hugging.

Witherspoon previously talked about being a mother saying "I didn't know what I was doing. I was young. It was shocking. When people ask, 'When's the best time to get pregnant?' I say, 'Pick the best day for when your entire life is gonna change.' There's no good time to have your world turned upside down,"the actress told Glamour magazine back in December. "Seeing my kids for the first time was primal. The ferocity of love you feel for your children when you see them for the first time-but you've known them inside you-is phenomenal."
