Back in December, the Legally Blonde star

A number of Reese’s fans took to the comments section to note the similarities between the mother and daughter.
While the actress has moved on from her marriage to Ryan, she recently reflected on a quip he made at the 2002 Oscars regarding their different incomes.
While appearing on the podcast in December, Reese remembered taking the stage with her then-husband to present a category.
Before Ryan opened the envelope to announce the category’s winner, the Cruel Intentions star handed the envelope to Reese and said: “You make more money than I do.”
After the actress said on the podcast: “You’re right, he did say that, and no, it wasn’t scripted, and he didn’t tell me he was going to say that before it happened on air.
“So I was a little bit flummoxed in the moment, too.”
She also opened up about the pressure women face as they achieve success, stating: “There’s so few women that make a lot of money that sometimes they’re shamed for it, and sometimes they are expected to give more and do more and be more to others in the same position that, say, a male movie star would not be expected to.
“But I do think gender norms have changed quite a bit since that moment in 2000 or something.”
