REESE KEEPS PEACE AMID FAMILY RIFT

DAUGHTER AVA IS NOW ESTRANGED FROM HER DAD RYAN

- 

Reese Witherspoon has never been shy when it comes to boasting about her picture-perfect eldest two children, Ava and Deacon Phillippe. Having put her disastrous relationship with their father, Ryan, behind her, the actress fought hard to rebuild her life and protect all her children - including youngest son Tennessee, from her second marriage to Jim Toth - from the perils of showbiz. Unfortunately, it appears her ex has done the opposite. Underneath the golden family veneer, a simmering feud between Ava, 25, and Ryan, 50, has been going on. As claimed by the Daily Mail last week, father and daughter have reportedly not spoken for some time.

A source told the outlet that Ava “rarely mentions” Ryan these days, and alleged that he “hasn't been a present father-figure in her life for years”.
