The daughter of exes Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, Ava has grown up in the public eye. Yet the teen, who’s routinely compared to her mom, has largely managed to avoid the spotlight in lieu of a more low-key life with her family.
And judging by the birthday posts her parents shared on social media, Ava is a pretty cool “kid.”
For her part, Reese shared a super-sweet throwback photo of herself with her tiny twin. “Happy 18th Birthday to my sweet girl @avaphilippe! Your kindness, grace, intelligence, and humor never cease to amaze me. I love you and your HUGE [heart] and I feel so lucky that I get to be your mom. #proudmom #18,” the Home Again actress wrote.

Reese followed that up with a picture of her gorgeous “little” girl, captioning the candid shot with a simple hashtag: #18.

Ryan really couldn’t resist gushing. The obviously proud papa shared an entire series devoted to Ava, starting with a multi-picture post. He cutely captioned it, “Happy birthday, punk. I love you more than any strangers need read, but…”
