Reese Witherspoon’s kids certainly have good genes.

Not only do they have the blonde bombshell as a mother, but they can also count Ryan Phillipe as part of their gene pool.

And in a new snap, the Legally Blonde star has shown that her eldest daughter Ava is the absolute spitting image of her mum.

Sharing a selfie to Twitter captioned “mother daughter time,”Reese showed off her 16-year-old daughter – who has the same pale blue eyes and glowing skin as her 40-year-old mother.

Ava is the eldest child of Reese and former husband Ryan Phillippe, 41. The couple also have a son, 12-year-old Deacon.

The mother-daughter bond certainly seems to be strong between Reese and her teenage daughter, with Ava sharing a sweet tribute to her mother on Mother’s Day.

“Happy mother’s day to the most wonderful woman in my life! You are everything great and more, and I am inspired, motivated, and loved by you everyday. I am so grateful to be a part of your life, and I love you so much.”

Reese and Ryan divorced in 2007 after almost a decade together. Ryan went onto have a further son, Kai, with Alexis Knapp, while Reese gave birth to son Tennessee with her second husband, Jim Toth.
