Ava looks just like her mom!

Reese and Ava share a close-knit bond, often making headlines for their uncanny resemblance.

 In a touching tribute on Ava's 24th birthday last September, Reese expressed her admiration for Ava, calling her 'the most inspiring, thoughtful, creative, dynamic, funny woman.' 

She expressed her joy in witnessing Ava's growth and the lessons learned from being her mother, saying, "It's the joy of my life to watch you grow. I have learned so much from being your mom. How lucky is that??!! I love you to the stars and back."

They could be sisters! Ava and Reese twin on the red carpet

Their mother-daughter outing at the Critics Choice Awards came shortly after Deacon, an NYU student, joined Reese at the Golden Globes. 

During the event, Deacon shared his excitement for his first awards show experience and Reese's advice for the evening, which included carrying gum, hand sanitizer, and being courteous.

 "She's the party animal, and I'm just trying to keep up," Deacon humorously remarked about his mother.

Reese, who separated from her husband Jim Toth last year, is also a mother to Deacon and Tennessee, her son with Toth. 

Inside the Critics Choice Awards, Reese was seen alongside Jennifer Aniston, her co-star in The Morning Show.
