Ava is the spitting image of her mother

The mum-of-three's touching post comes after she paid tribute to her 23-year-old lookalike daughter, Ava Phillippe. Back in September, the Academy-Award winning actress shared a stunning portrait of the mother-daughter duo to celebrate National Daughters Day.

"Always feeling very lucky to have my wonderful, creative, talented daughter in my life!" wrote Reese, dedicating the post to her eldest.

"What a gift to share this life journey with you… and the best makeup tips... It's really great to share beauty tips, dog memes and the same shoe size. Makes life so fun! #nationaldaughtersday" she added.

"Never get over how alike you two are," wrote one fan, as another penned: "OMGGGGG it's like looking at yourself Reese!" "And you're on the left of this pic? No...right? Left?...ri...left....no right," commented a confused follower.

Reese welcomed her eldest children Ava and Deacon, 18, during her marriage to Ryan Phillippe and shares her youngest son, Tennessee, with her husband Jim Toth.
