Reese’s post soon went viral with nearly 410,000 likes, as her followers could not get enough of the adorable bond between her and Ava. “I love you with all heart. Keep shining your beautiful light, my sweet girl!” the 48-year-old film star wrote.
Comments soon began to roll in, mostly complimenting Ava’s beauty and wishing her a fun year ahead. “You are such an extraordinary human! Wishing you much love and the most amazing day and year ahead!!” someone exclaimed. “Happy birthday to Reese’s twin,” another added.
Ava is the first of Reese’s three kids and only daughter, whom she shares with her first husband, Ryan Phillipe. The birthday girl is a lot like her celebrity mom, who she credits for inspiring her fashion and interest in beauty. Ava also loved the spotlight, as she has been spotted at high-profile events alongside Reese.
The 25-year-old graduated from UC Berkley and is now putting her looks to good use as an upcoming model. Ava has worked with brands like Pat McGrath, Beyoncé’s athleisure clothing line Ivy Park, and Reese’s Draper James, which she named in honor of her grandparents, Dorothea Draper and William James Witherspoon.
