The Golden Bachelor<\/strong><\/em> aired its finale Thursday night, with 72-year-old contestant, Gerry Turner, finally making his decision and proposing to the woman of his dreams after eight long weeks.<\/p>\n While the live finale was exciting itself on its own, a packed audience filled with Turner’s ousted suitors and a few Bachelor Nation<\/strong> alums, the internet was set ablaze when Reese Witherspoon<\/strong>‘s daughter, Ava Phillippe<\/strong>, was spotted during the live taping.<\/p>\n The random sighting was questioned by fans of the show, who couldn’t help but point out the 24-year-old’s seemingly random appearance during the finale special of the ABC dating series.<\/p>\n “Am I crazy or is Reese Witherspoons daughter at the golden bachelor finale??? #TheGoldenBachelor,” one viewer questioned on X (n\u00e9e Twitter), sharing two photos of someone who looked like Ava, in the audience.<\/p>\n There was so much speculation, in fact, that it caused ABC executive, Robert Mills to weigh in<\/strong>, confirming that Ava was indeed in the crowd.<\/p>\n “This is her,” he wrote.<\/p>\n “Her mother Betty is here as well. #TheGoldenBachelor,” Mills added, referring to Ava’s grandmother, and Witherspoon’s mother, Mary Elizabeth “Betty” Witherspoon, who was sat next to Ava in the audience.<\/p>\n The Golden Bachelor’<\/em>s eagle-eyed viewers also couldn’t help but notice who was sat on the other side of Ava: forthcoming Bachelor, Joey Graziadei.<\/p>\n “Was that Ava Phillipe (Reese Witherspoon\u2019s daughter) next to Joey? #TheGoldenBachelor #GoldenBachelor,” one user tweeted, with another adding, “I wonder why she’s there and why is she next to Joey.”<\/p>\n While it’s unclear why Ava and her grandmother were in attendance — and why she was sat next to Graziadei for that matter — the pair were just some of the other recognizable faces and fans of the series in the audience Thursday, including Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Bachelor<\/em> franchise alums, Charity Lawson, Zach Shallcross and Rachel Recchia.<\/p>\n In the end, Turner ended up giving his final rose to Theresa Nist, sending home fan-favorite, Leslie Fhima, to the shock and dismay of the Golden Bachelor<\/em> audience.<\/p>\n “I realized all of a sudden here was a woman who knew how to maintain and nurture a relationship,” Turner said of Theresa during Thursday’s finale. “More and more, with every passing moment, she showed her enthusiasm, her adventurous side\u2026 Every red flag or potential red flag I had, she addressed before I even had to ask.”<\/p>\n For more on the Golden Bachelor<\/em>, check out the gallery below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
