The Academy Award-winning actress shares her daughter with her first husband, Ryan Philippe, to whom she was married from 1999 until 2007. 

Witherspoon was seen wearing a patterned white blouse while spending time with the UC Berkeley college student.

Her gorgeous blonde hair fell mostly onto her right shoulder, and she sported several articles of gold jewelry.

Ava opted for a much more vibrant strapless red blouse as she took in all that the beach had to offer.

Like her mother, the social media personality wore a pair of stylish gold earrings, and her blonde locks made their way onto her shoulders and backside.

The former couple went on to tie the knot in 1999 and welcomed Ava Elizabeth that same year.

The performers went on to welcome a second child named Deacon Reese, currently aged 17, in 2003, although they eventually separated in 2006 and subsequently divorced.

The pair added another son, Tennessee James, currently aged eight, to their lives that September. 

Witherspoon spoke about her relationship with her children during an interview with InStyle, where she noted that she becomes very affectionate when she is around them. 

She remarked: ‘my mothering personality is nothing like my work personality. I melt around my kids. I’m much more squishy, soft, and lovey with a caramel center.’

The performer also expressed that her children had her full support in whatever they wanted to do and she stated that she desired for them to be happy in their future lives. 

She stated: ‘I also encourage their deepest dreams and want them to be more expansive in their idea of what they want to become or explore.’
