Reese Witherspoon’s daughter has confidently embraced her identity and shared this milestone online, shining a beacon of acceptance and openness. The beloved actress has three children: Ava and Deacon Phillippe, with her former husband, Ryan Phillippe, and Tennessee James Toth, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Jim Toth.
Ava has not specifically labeled her sexuality, aligning with those who are attracted to individuals for who they are, rather than their gender, a sentiment reflected in the term ‘pansexual.’ As she journeys through her own personal identity, Ava shares a joyful relationship with Owen Mahoney, a fellow UC Berkeley student, with their romance allegedly blossoming in 2019.
Expressing herself candidly on social media, Ava’s post shares, “I can and will block profiles commenting bigoted/hateful messages under my posts. My Instagram profile is not a place for cruelty/hate speech and I intend to do what I can to keep it that way. Peace and love.” It’s a clear message of her commitment to maintaining a positive and supportive environment.
During Pride Month, Ava thoughtfully reflected, “Once upon a time, some gal on the internet said ‘gender is whatever’ in reference to her own sexuality. Many took her words out of context, but she knew what she meant. Anyways, this is her posting for the first day of Pride Month 2024.” With her heartfelt words, Ava celebrated the vibrant essence of diversity, wishing a ‘Happy Pride Month’ to her cherished LGBTQ+ community.
Reese Witherspoon herself has spoken about Ava’s journey of self-discovery, noting Ava’s exploration to “find herself” and her “path” in life. The close-knit mother-daughter bond is evident, with Reese showing unwavering support for Ava wherever her path may lead.
