Ryan Phillippe posted a sweet memory of his daughter with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon, Ava, being born in honor of her 15th birthday on Wednesday.
He tweeted about flying via helicopter from Utah to Beverly Hills, Calif. to welcome Ava into the world and it was the day he learned “what love truly is.”
“15 yrs ago today, was my last on, ‘The Way of the Gun’. A helicopter waited off set to transport me from the ‘Mexican brothel’ in Utah to Cedars Sinai in Beverly Hills. With my stomach in knots, exhausted & dirty, covered in syrupy fake blood & shards of candy glass the heli- found the pad and I was taken to an area to sterilize myself. I made it to my then wife's bedside w/ two hours to spare before my baby girl first entered the world,” he wrote.
Us Weekly reports the former couple also share 10-year-old son, Deacon.
Phillippe and Witherspoon got married in 1999 and divorced seven years later. She went on to marry Jim Toth in 2011 and have a son, Tennessee, 2, with him.
He also had a daughter, Kailani, in 2011 with model Alexis Knapp. He’s now dating Paulina Slagter.
