Reese Witherspoon and daughter Ava Phillippe just don't see what we see –– that they are the spitting image of each other!

The Morning Show actress, 46, addressed the popular belief that she and her daughter, 23, are lookalikes while stopping by Today with Hoda & Jenna Tuesday to chat about all things parenting.

During the show, while discussing what being a mom to young adults is like, the actress showed a photo of her daughter and Jenna Bush Hager exclaimed: "Wait, y'all are twins!"

"She and I don't see it that much," Witherspoon said.

The star is also mom to son Deacon Phillippe, 18 — whom (along with Ava) she shares with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe — and Tennessee Toth, 10, whose father is Witherspoon's husband Jim Toth.

Having three children all at very different life stages means the actress needs to take different approaches to parenting with each of them.

"You establish a different relationship," the Legally Blonde star told the hosts. "First of all, you're managing them a lot when they're little and it's very physical. And then it's more emotional support. And suggestions, not telling them what to do when they get a little bit older."

Witherspoon continued, "But you have to really nurture your adult relationship with your children too. And give them respect and space to become who they are, not who you want them to be."

The Academy Award-winning actress has always been a vocal and proud mom, celebrating her kids' achievements and birthdays on her Instagram.

Just last month, she paid tribute to Ava with a sweet Instagram post in honor of her daughter's 23rd birthday.
