Reese Witherspoon‘s nepo baby Ava Phillippe and her live-in love Dakota Brubaker made their official red carpet debut as a couple while attending Charlize Theron‘s Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP) 5th Annual Block Party in Universal City, CA on Saturday.
The 25-year-old LBI Entertainment model and the Vindigo frontman (who’s around 26) previously went Instagram official on December 3, and they just celebrated their one-year anniversary of dating on June 20.
Ava – who’s named after Ava Gardner – repped her own $298 yellow AQUA x Ava Phillippe ‘Embellished V Neck Cami’ gown and gave her 5ft2in frame a big boost with silver peep-toe platform heels.
Phillippe never removed her new favorite Miu Miu sunglasses, she styled her brunette mane in waves, and she showcased her tattooed sleeves.
Dakota looked preppy in a beige linen suit over a white crewneck top, along with a black belt and Oxfords.
The benefit featured a Hot Ones ‘Truth or Dab’ recreation onstage with the 49-year-old Oscar winner and Sean Evans as well as a special performance from Mean Girls star Reneé Rapp.

Attendees also enjoyed a putting green, cornhole, foosball tables, and several sponsored booths held on the Universal Studios Backlot.
At one point, the inseparable couple chatted up Yellowjackets actress Nuha Jes Izman.
On June 19, Brubaker uploaded a TikTok video of himself and Ava playing Rock Paper Scissors in order to decide who got to choose what they watched together that night.
The Future People singer won and chose Seth Gordon’s 2008 holiday rom-com Four Christmases starring Reese and Vince Vaughn, and Phillippe scoffed: ‘Babe, it’s June.’
The UC Berkeley sweethearts are already co-parenting two adopted dogs – Birdie and Benji – and on June 7, Dakota revealed they had officially moved in together in a TikTok captioned: ‘You’ll be married in a year in the suburbs or something like that.’
Despite Ava studying social sciences at college, she is now following in the footsteps of her famous folks and scored two guest-starring acting gigs that aired last April.
Phillippe portrayed Veronica, who lusts after Dr. Max Bankman (Joshua Jackson), in the April 3rd episode – titled ‘Spring Break’ – of ABC’s Doctor Odyssey alongside fellow nepo babies Charlotte Lawrence and Paris Jackson.
‘It was such a learning experience, and, also the whole time, I was kind of distracted by Ryan Murphy’s world building — it’s insane,’ the ICE out of LA activist gushed to New Beauty at the time.

‘He’s the king of television, and it was such a privilege to be on the set and to learn from other actors who I really admire and to get to work with Josh and Kathyrn [Newton, who played Witherspoon’s daughter on Big Little Lies] was super cool and a full circle moment because they worked with my parents.’
Ava also portrayed the teenage version of Josh Duhamel’s late onscreen wife Amalah for a flashback in the April 17th episode – titled ‘By the Grace of God’ – of Netflix’s Ransom Canyon.
‘I was in college studying social sciences, and I really started to realize how big of a toll it was taking on me to neglect my creativity,’ Phillippe explained.
‘I was ready to explore new mediums and psychology and sociology are such a huge part of my interests, and acting is a really great way to tie that into my creativity, which I wasn’t expecting, and I didn’t think I would like it as much as I do. To be honest, I didn’t pick my parents’ brains as much as I should have, and now I’m learning a lot and finding my own way with it, which is really rewarding.’
The Kamala Harris supporter’s 21-year-old brother Deacon Phillippe portrayed Christian Maddox alongside their father Ryan Phillippe in the coming-of-age drama Motorheads, which is currently ranked No. 10 on Amazon Prime Video’s top 10 TV shows as of Sunday – according to Flix Patrol.
The Cruel Intentions couple divorced in 2007 after seven years of marriage.
Ava began her modeling career at age 19 in 2018 for Rodarte’s Fall lookbook.
