At the Splitsville afterparty in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening, Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava Phillippe and her partner Dakota Brubaker appeared to be deeply affectionate towards each other.

Recently, the actress, aged 25, shared that she had started living with her partner, Dakota, in an affectionate TikTok post. The couple made their relationship public back in December.

Following a significant development in their bond, the delighted couple found themselves constantly grinning throughout their shared evening out.

Meanwhile, the leading actress from the film, Dakota Johnson (age 35), exhibited a cheerful demeanor while playfully interacting with fellow actor O-T Fagbenle (age 44).

At the afterparty, Dakota showcased her long-legged elegance in a dazzling green gown, following her appearance at the premiere alongside her renowned mom, Melanie Griffith.

Meanwhile, at the event, Melanie maintained her elegant, tailored-white ensemble, standing by her side throughout the evening, showing unwavering support for her cherished daughter.

68-year-old Dakota Fanning and the actress from “The Working Girl,” both looked stunning as they graced the red carpet together at an event that took place at The Grove in LA.

Last year, Dakota expressed disdain for the examination of Nepotism kids as “immensely tedious and dull.” This past event, however, left everyone astonished when she dazzled in a snug, sleeveless, shimmering dress.

After ending a seven-year romance with Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, who is 48 years old, the actress is now single.

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

The storyline of the movie centers on two pairs of friends, and the turmoil that arises in their relationships and friendships.

Dakota spent her childhood years under the guardianship of Antonio Banderas, who was her stepfather, and Tippi Hedren, who was her elderly grandmother (approximately 95 years old).

To put it simply, Dakota decided to try out for The Juilliard School using pieces from William Shakespeare and Steve Martin, as a response to her father, Don Johnson, who had threatened to take away their allowances if they didn’t pursue higher education (college).

In an interview with ELLE UK in May, Dakota openly shared that she wasn’t keen on attending college. She expressed concern about potentially being financially cut off by the alumnus of Miami Vice, and added that earning a living proved challenging for her.

At the age of 18, Dakota had no trouble landing a modeling contract with IMG in 2006 thanks to her well-known surname. In 2008, just two years after that, she also secured an agency deal with the William Morris Agency for acting roles.

On several occasions, Johnson found himself in a tough spot – running out of funds in his account while shopping at the market or unable to meet rental payments. In such instances, he would turn to his parents for assistance, as he shared with regret.

I am deeply appreciative of my parents who were always there to support me, but I must admit, going through the audition process wasn’t enjoyable at all. As you can imagine, it was quite challenging.

The winner of the Independent Spirit Award shared that, when it came to giving out assistance, her mother was the compassionate or caring one.

Dakota can credit Melanie for securing her first major film role at the age of nine, appearing in the critically panned debut movie of director Antonio titled Crazy in Alabama, which was released in 1999.

Prior to securing her groundbreaking part in the Fifty Shades trilogy, Dakota initially made an impression within the film industry by portraying Amelia, a Harvard University student who wore only panties, in David Fincher’s 2010 drama titled The Social Network.

Last year, during an interview on TODAY, the Daddio star expressed his initial frustration about the nepotism debate, saying something along the lines of, “When this all began, it felt extremely tedious and dull.

In June, the news emerged that Dakota and the lead singer of Coldplay, Chris, ended their six-year relationship after an engagement.

Previously, a source had informed the Daily Mail that during their separation, the relationship had essentially ended for quite some time. They hadn’t managed to officially acknowledge it yet.
