Ava Phillippe may have two famous parents, but she\u2019s becoming a star in her own right thanks to social media.<\/p>\n
Speaking with PEOPLE, proud dad Ryan opens up about how he handles his daughter\u2019s Instagram fame and how he feels about her having 228,000 followers. <\/p>\n
\u201cWell, she has an incredibly famous mother and a moderately famous father, but that\u2019s how that works,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd also social media is largely driven by the youth and the associations made within that group. She\u2019s incredibly talented.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aside from Ava, the 42-year-old also shares son Deacon, 13, with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon and has a 5-year-old daughter, Kailani, with former girlfriend Alexis Knapp.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe danger would be if you had a kid who didn\u2019t have perspective and didn\u2019t have an understanding of it,\u201d Ryan adds. \u201cI don\u2019t feel like our kids are as caught up in the value that some might place on those things. It\u2019s a byproduct of the life that they\u2019ve been born into.\u201d<\/p>\n
The actor, who is starring new hit show Shooter on USA, <\/em>does see the positive side of using social media.<\/p>\n \u201cSomething I do like about social media is you can kind of share some facets of yourself, your personality or your art in a more intimate way so people have a better picture of who you are,\u201d he admits. \u201cWe all as parents face so many challenges especially with technology and all of these other things today, but the constant common denominator has been and always will be, is to stay connected and stay involved and stay aware of what they\u2019re doing and make sure that they have an open place to talk and ask any questions and then you\u2019re caught less off guard by certain things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n Ava Phillippe may have two famous parents, but she\u2019s becoming a star in her own right thanks to social media.
