Witherspoon shares Ava Phillippe and her son Deacon Phillippe, 20, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. Witherspoon is also a mom to 11-year-old son Tennessee James, whom she shares with ex-husband Jim Toth.
During an appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show" in 2020, Witherspoon opened up about balancing her career as an actress and life as a mother of three.
"You take the food out of your mouth, the clothes off your back, the sleep out of your life -- but every bit of it, every bit of that sacrifice is truly worth it," Witherspoon said. "That's what makes me wake up on a Sunday. It's not movies or my job. It's my kids."

Witherspoon and her eldest child have made numerous public appearances together, including their recent attendance at the Fendi Couture Spring/Summer 2024 show in Paris and the 2024 Critics Choice Awards.

In an interview with Us Weekly in 2016, Witherspoon gushed about her daughter's fashion sense and expertise.
"She's so much cooler than I am!" Witherspoon said at the time. "She's very cutting-edge, and she knows a lot about fashion, and she has her own sense of style, which is amazing."

The second child of Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, Deacon Phillippe was born Oct. 23, 2003, in Los Angeles.
Following in his parents' footsteps, Deacon Phillippe pursued a career in the entertainment industry. In 2020, he released his first single, "Long Run" featuring Nina Nesbitt, as a music producer.

A music student at New York University, Deacon Phillippe released his debut album, "A New Earth," in April 2023. He introduced his album on Instagram at the time, sharing what the record was about there as well.
"This is a story of my life, our lives, and of love and life in general; it carries thoughts and emotions that I've accumulated, felt, observed, bottled up, and dealt with through the last 19 years of my life," he wrote. "It's about learning to look through the lens of love. I've finally found a reason why people should listen, and it's bigger than me."

To mark Tennessee's 11th birthday last September, Witherspoon posted a photo of her sweetly hugging him on Instagram.
"Happy 11th Birthday to my wonderful son, Tenn! 💫," she captioned the post at the time. "I love your curiosity, your endless energy and your playful sense of humor. Everyday you make me think more about the world around us and dream even bigger. I 💙you so much, Buddy!"
