On June 28, the daughter of Hollywood icons Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, accompanied by her musician boyfriend Vindigo, made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project 2025 Block Party. Ava, 25, shimmered in a multi-layered cream gown adorned with intricate beadwork, completing her look with stylish sunglasses and gleaming silver hoop earrings. Dakota, donning a light beige linen suit and coordinating black sunglasses, stood beside her, exuding couple goals.
Their red carpet appearance marked nearly seven months since the influencer couple seemingly officially kicked off their romance with a series of intimate holiday snapshots shared on Instagram. One photo captured Dakota playfully touching Ava's chin and leaning in for a cheek kiss, while she pouted charmingly at the camera. On the same day, Vindigo, too, posted the romantic snap along with other pictures of them, including one where they posed in front of a Christmas tree, Ava's hand draped affectionately on his leg, gazing at him with adoration. Another snapshowcased them at The Hollywood Reporter's Next Gen 2024 event last November.
Since then, the duo has been unabashed in showcasing their blossoming love story on social media. Recently, they hinted at taking their relationship to the next level. "POV: you and your girlfriend finally move in together," Dakota captioned a June 7 TikTok video of him lip-syncing to an Ethan Fields cover of Mike Posner's "Cooler Than Me," with Ava sweetly running up to hug him from behind.
Days later, another video drew attention from fans who noted a striking resemblance between their relationship and that of Ava's parents, Reese and Ryan. "Close enough," commented one fan under a June 9 TikTok video of the pair. "Welcome back Reese & Ryan!" In response, Ava expressed her disapproval with a June 11 TikTok video of them shaking their heads in unison, captioned, "whaaaaattt."
Indeed, this isn't the first time Ava has been compared to her mother, the "Legally Blonde" star, in terms of appearance and style.
