So grown up! Reese Witherspoon celebrates son’s birthday with heartfelt post

Reese Witherspoon is one who likes to keep a lot of her family life private. 

However, for her eldest son, Deacon’s sweet 16th she posted a beautiful message along with a snap of the two to celebrate. 

"Happy 16th Birthday to this guy whose bright smile makes every day better!" she wrote.

"Kind, compassionate, hysterical, friendly, and talented," Witherspoon continued. "I'm so lucky to have a son like you!"

Witherspoon, 43, shares her son Deacon with ex-husband Ryan Philippe, who posted his own message to Deacon on his Instagram story the night before his son’s milestone age. 

“The edge of sixteen,” it read. 

The pair also have another child together, 20-year-old Ava who is their eldest. 

Witherspoon and her now-husband Josh Toth share a son, Tennesse, who recently just celebrated his seventh birthday. 

Reese has proven to have some seriously strong genes because her three children look so similar to her it is unnerving. 

Ava also took to Instagram to share a heartwarming post for her younger brother. 

“Happy happy sweet 16 to my cooler-than-me little brother with a heart of gold! I couldn’t have gotten any luckier than to have your humor, love, and patience in my life,” she said. 

“You are always one of the funniest, most thoughtful, peaceful people in the room, and I couldn’t be prouder as your big sister of who you are and who you’re becoming. Happy birthday, D!”
