Witherspoon's second child, Deacon — whose dad is also Ryan Phillippe — was born on Oct. 23, 2003. Although we love his unique first name, the fact that his middle name is the same as his mom's first (though technically it's her middle name, too, as her full given name is Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon) is too cute!
Deacon graduated high school in 2022 and is currently attending New York University. He's also diving into acting, as he previously appeared in a minor role in Netflix's "Never Have I Ever." A few days before the season three premiere on Aug. 11, 2022, Witherspoon shared a photo of her son hugging her on Twitter. "This hug made my whole year!" she wrote.
On Oct. 22, Witherspoon celebrated her son's birthday, writing on Instagram, "HUGE Birthday wishes to my boy @deaconphillippe !! Actually not a boy, he is a 20 yr old man today ! Deacon, you are such a ray of sunshine, love and positivity in this world. Keep shining that wonderful light on us all!" Deacon has been spotted out and about with another nepo kid: Will Ferrell's son Magnus.
