How to Pronounce Ava Phillippe and Ryan Phillippe’s Last Name

Ava Phillippe has a lesson for her fans. 

The daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe decided it was finally time to let her followers know how to pronounce her famous last name, and she knew exactly the way to do it.

Ava shared a screenshot of Lena Dunham‘s character Hannah Horvath from the show Girls to her Instagram Oct. 7, with Hannah explaining, “By the way, it’s ‘Phil-a-pee.’ I heard it on Extra.”

The 25-year-old added a heart hands emoji into the caption, writing, “#GIRLS.”

And as was to be expected, many of Ava’s followers were shocked to learn the actual pronunciation, with one commenting, “I thought it was fil-eep.”

One fan couldn’t believe it, saying, “lol wait…this whole time?”

And another joked that they weren’t about to change how they were pronouncing it, writing, “Been saying ‘Phil lip hey’ since 1999. Sticking with it haha.”

Of course, there were some folks who were already saying it correctly, with one adding, “The pride I feel in this confirmation that I’ve been right since the 90s.”
