Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava Phillippe and her boyfriend Dakota Brubaker looked completely loved-up at Splitsville afterparty in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.

Earlier this month, the actress, 25, revealed she moved in with her partner Dakota in a sweet TikTok video – after the pair went official in December.

After taking a major step in their relationship, the smitten pair couldn’t wipe the smiles off their faces as they enjoyed a night out together.

Elsewhere, lead star of the movie Dakota Johnson, 35, appeared in high spirits as she larked around with actor O-T Fagbenle, 44.

Dakota put on a leggy display in a shimmering green dress for the afterparty, shortly after attending the premiere with her famous mother Melanie Griffith.

Melanie, meanwhile, stayed in her white tailored suit premiere look for the party as she supported her beloved daughter.

Dakota and the Working Girl star, 68, made a glamorous duo as they posed together on the red carpet at the event, held at The Grove in Los Angeles.

Dakota, who dubbed the scrutiny of nepo babies ‘incredibly annoying and boring’ last year, wowed in a skintight sleeveless metallic gown.  

The actress is fresh off the heels of her seven-year relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 48.

Splitsville, set to hit theaters on August 22, is a comedy directed by Michael Angelo Covino.

The film’s plot revolves around two couples and the drama that erupts in their lives and friendships.

Dakota grew up with Antonio Banderas as her stepfather and Tippi Hedren as her 95-year-old grandmother.

Her dad Don Johnson warned all his children they’d be deprived of their allowance if they didn’t attend college, so Dakota auditioned for The Juilliard School with monologues from William Shakespeare and Steve Martin.

Dakota admitted she ‘really didn’t want to go to college’ in a May interview with ELLE UK, but was dismayed at the idea of being ‘cut off’ by the Miami Vice alum and admitted ‘it was hard to make money.’

By age 18, Dakota used her famous name to easily sign with IMG for modeling in 2006 and two years later she signed with the William Morris Agency for acting.

‘There were a few times when I’d go to the market and not have money in my bank account or not be able to pay rent, and I’d have to ask my parents for help,’ Johnson lamented.

‘I’m very grateful that I had parents that could help me and did help me. But it certainly was not fun. The auditioning process, as you know, is the f***ing worst.’

The Independent Spirit Award winner noted that her mother ‘was the nice one’ when it came to hand-outs.

Dakota also has Melanie to thank for her big-screen debut, at age nine, in Antonio’s dismally-reviewed directorial debut Crazy in Alabama in 1999. 

Before landing her breakout role in the Fifty Shades trilogy, Dakota first caught the industry’s attention as panty-clad Harvard University student Amelia in David Fincher’s 2010 drama The Social Network.

‘When [the nepo baby scrutiny] first started I found it to be, like, incredibly annoying and boring,’ the Daddio star scoffed on TODAY last year.

In June, news broke that Dakota and Coldplay frontman Chris had called it quits after a six-year engagement.

A source previously told the Daily Mail that, at the time of their break-up, the relationship had already ‘been over for a long time, they just haven’t been able to figure out to make it official.’
