Ava Phillippe is soaking up summer with her beau!

On Monday, the 21-year-old daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe shared to Instagram a rare photo of her and her boyfriend, Owen Mahoney.

Both were smiling in the selfie, which was taken at the Congress Avenue Bridge in Austin, Texas, a spot known for its nightly bat flights.

"The bats were feeling shy…so here's a pic of us instead 🦇," Ava wrote in her post's caption.

Ava's mom Reese Witherspoon commented on the photo, writing, "😍 These two."

Ava has been dating fellow UC Berkeley student Owen Mahoney since at least 2019, when she shared a pair of photos of the couple in a since-deleted Instagram post.

At the time, several fans pointed out Mahoney's resemblance to Ava's dad - a comparison that bubbled up in Ava's comments section once again on Monday.

"Looks like you and your dad or a younger version of your parents!" one commenter wrote on Monday.

Another added, "Totally Reese and Ryan !"
