Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava Phillippe stars in Ella Langley ‘Choosin’ Texas’

Ava Phillippe is following in her famous parents’ footsteps by starring in a new music video.

The 26-year-old rising star appeared in country star Ella Langley’s latest music video for “Choosin’ Texas,” which was released on Wednesday (April 1).

In the music video, which also stars Miranda Lambert, Luke Grimes, and Kaitlin Butts, Ava plays a woman at the bar who catches the attention of Langley’s boyfriend in the video, played by Grimes.

It is later revealed in a series of flashbacks that Grimes and Ava’s characters have a history and have been romantically linked before. After noticing that Grimes can’t take her eyes off Ava, Langley asks Lambert for help, and the two take off together, leaving Grimes’ character alone outside the bar.

“This was such a fun shoot and I couldn’t be more grateful to be part of this amazing cast,” Ava wrote. instagram. “Ella is a true storyteller, and witnessing her creativity up close makes me even more excited to see what she does next.”

Ava is no stranger to the glitz and glamor that comes with being on set, having grown up with actress Reese Witherspoon and actor Ryan Phillippe as her parents.

Witherspoon talked about Ava finding her place in the acting world in a March 2024 interview with Extra, telling the news outlet that her daughter is still “getting her feet wet” while trying to “figure out exactly what she wants to do.”

“That’s what always bothers me about this talk of favoritism with the industry,” he explained. “You know, a lot of people grow up and end up doing what their parents did to some degree. To me, I always feel offended on behalf of the children of actors and entertainers when people bring that up because yeah, of course, that’s what they grew up around.”

Her parents are known for their work together on “Cruel Intentions” as well as their roles in “Legally Blonde,” “Big Little Lies” and “Walk the Line,” for which Witherspoon won an Academy Award.
