The 22-year old daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philip has opened up about her sexuality.

Ava Phillippe recently hosted an 'Ask Me Anything' Q&A with fans on Instagram few days back.

In one of the questions posed by curious fans, Ava was asked: "Do u like boys or girls?"

Without wasting time or giving a vague response, Ava was clear to write back:  "I'm attracted to… people! (Gender is whatever)," she wrote alongside a smiley selfie in blue eyeshadow that she shared with her 996,000 Instagram followers.

Only some time back, Ava previously made her relationship Instagram official with college boyfriend Owen Mahoney in 2019, after they met at UC Berkeley.

Mahoney even joined the Witherspoon family on a family vacation last summer after getting approval from mom Reese.

"It's an odd situation because I didn't grow up famous. So [Ava is] living an experience that I did not have, and so are my sons," she said in November during an interview with InStyle.

"We are lucky enough to have friends who grew up in Hollywood and can help give them advice on how to navigate.

"Ava is so down-to-earth. She wants to do great things in the world. She's studying and learning and trying to find herself. It's a big thing in life to try different things and figure out what is really your path," the proude mom added.

Back in September, Reese celebrated Ava's 22nd birthday and penned a heartfelt note for her daughter: "Happy Birthday to my sweet little girl…excuse me… I mean my adult daughter!!! Words can't describe how proud I am of you," Reese wrote.

"You have grown into an extraordinary person who cares so much about the world around her. I am so lucky to have you light up my life. I love you, Ava!!"
