Reese Witherspoon's little mini-me, Ava Phillippe, is all grown up and celebrating a major milestone - her 26th birthday! The actress took to Instagram on Wednesday to wish her firstborn child a happy birthday with a stunning photo that left fans swooning.

The 46-year-old Oscar winner shared the adorable snap with her daughter and added a heartfelt caption that melted everyone's heart. "Happy 26th my sweet girl @avaphillippe! You have changed my life in all the best ways. I love you," she gushed. And, of course, Ava responded with a sweet message, writing, "Love u mama" accompanied by a heart emoji and an arrow going through it.

Reese's birthday wish to her daughter came after she celebrated season four of her hit AppleTV+ series The Morning Show on Tuesday evening

But what's even more interesting is that this birthday wish comes after Reese celebrated season four of her hit AppleTV+ series The Morning Show on Tuesday. That's right; the actress was out living her best life, flaunting her glamorous evening look, which included a black David Koma dress and Rahaminov jewelry. We can't help but wonder what she had to say about the upcoming season.

And Ava, it seems, is following in her mother's footsteps big time! The 26-year-old has already made a name for herself in the acting arena after attending college at UC Berkley, where she studied social welfare before graduating in 2022. But that wasn't all - she also became a model and even landed a role on Doctor Odyssey earlier this year!

But what's next for Ava? Well, we have some juicy gossip to share! In July, the nepo baby announced that she'd landed her first lead role in an upcoming romantic comedy. We can't wait to see her shine on the big screen!

Reese and Ava's mom-daughter bond is truly one of a kind. The actress has always been open about how proud she is of her daughter's accomplishments, saying in an interview with TheScholarlyNote.com that her parents have "always encouraged me to choose the path that’s right for me and guide me along the way."

And it seems like Ava appreciates her mom's support. She told a source from TheScholarlyNote.com, "My parents have always been there for me, encouraging me to be myself and pursue my passions. I feel so lucky to have them in my life."

But what about Ava's dad, Ryan Phillippe? Well, sources close to the family tell us that he's still very much involved in his daughter's life, despite their divorce in 2008.

So there you have it, folks! Ava Phillippe is all grown up, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for this talented young actress. Happy 26th birthday, Ava!
