Is Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava Phillippe dating Dakota Brubaker – and who is he? The music creator was at Next Gen 2024 with Philippe … but what is the pic of them that got fans wondering?
Brubaker has been sharing photos with Phillippe, including a sweet Christmas-themed snap; the employment specialist and musician spent a year working overseas, taking him to Thailand, Cuba and Peru
What caught fans’ eye, though, was the mystery man seen kissing her on the cheek in the very first slide. It seems that Phillippe is confirming her romance with employment specialist and musician Dakota Brubaker, who posted his own share of pics with the famous nepo baby, including a shot of them in front of a Christmas tree and another at The Hollywood Reporter’s Next Gen 2024 event.
He’s a musician
Dakota Brubaker makes music under the stage name Vindigo. He recently released the single “Constant Pleasure” and Phillippe commented under most of his Instagram posts promoting it. “We (citizens of the void) appreciate your contributions to our culture,” she wrote under one post while another reply read, “Your swag – it’s all the way on.”
He graduated from UC Berkeley
Like Phillippe, Brubaker attended the University of California, Berkeley. He graduated with a bachelor’s in cognitive science with a minor in journalism in 2020. In February 2022, he joined Easterseals Southern California as an employment specialist for individuals with disabilities, while working on his music. He called the job “super challenging” in an Instagram post but added, “I love all my clients – they’re so positive and hard-working, it makes me feel like s*** that I complain so much about my own life and reminds me to be a better person everyday.”
