Reese Witherspoon's daughter thanks her for teaching her the value of love, ambition in Instagram post
Reese Witherspoon's daughter Ava Phillippe recently shared a sweet message about how much she appreciates her mother.
The 19-year-old college student posted a photo of the "Big Little Lies" actress on Instagram on Wednesday, writing, "This is the gorgeous woman who taught me about the power of graciousness, love, ambition, and hard work."
"She inspires me everyday to live with gratitude for the life I’ve been given and compassion for others," Phillippe continued in the caption.
"I’m thinking about her a little extra today, that’s all," she added.
Witherspoon seemed to love the gesture, commenting, "How did I get so lucky to have a daughter like you?"
Phillippe's father is actor Ryan Phillippe, who Witherspoon was married to from 1999 to 2007.
The mother-daughter duo appeared in the February issue of Vogue with Witherspoon's mother Betty, 70, in a beach photo shoot.
In 2018, Witherspoon spoke to PEOPLE about her close relationship with her daughter. "There is nothing like the love I have for my daughter,” she said. "We share every emotion with each other, our hopes, and dreams."
