The 2024 Golden Globes showcased not only the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, but also the heartwarming bond between Reese Witherspoon and her son, Deacon Phillippe. The esteemed actress chose to bring her eldest son as her date to the event, igniting a conversation among fans and media outlets alike.
Reese Witherspoon, a timeless beauty at the age of 47, exuded joy as she walked down the red carpet in a stunning strapless ebony gown. The dress featured an intriguingly asymmetrical blush-hued twisted apex, adding a touch of elegance to her ensemble. With matching ebony heels, a resplendent diamond choker, earrings, and a wristlet, Witherspoon was the epitome of sophistication. Her son, Deacon, looked dapper in a sartorially refined black tuxedo, perfectly complementing his mother’s style.
The occasion was especially significant for Witherspoon, as she was there to celebrate the success of her acclaimed show, The Morning Show. The show received nominations in two prestigious categories: Best Television Series — Drama, and Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role on Television for Billy Crudup.
This marked Witherspoon’s first public appearance since her separation from Jim Toth in March 2023. The couple shares a son named Tennessee, who is 11 years old. Witherspoon was previously married to Ryan Phillippe, the father of Deacon and their daughter Ava, who also attended the Vanity Fair pre-Golden Globes event.
Interestingly, Deacon seems to be following in his mother’s footsteps, as he recently made his acting debut in the third season of Netflix’s Never Have I Ever. Mindy Kaling, the creator of the show and a close friend of Witherspoon, praised Deacon’s talent and looks, saying, “He’s obviously so talented, and he’s great-looking, and we just thought he would be great, and he was excited to come and do it.”
Witherspoon took to Instagram to share this incredible moment, captioning her post, “What a magical night celebrating so many talented artists.” The photo sparked a discussion among fans, as many pointed out the striking resemblance between Witherspoon and her son. Some even went as far as saying they looked like twins.
Reese Witherspoon continues to age gracefully, and she recently revealed her secret to maintaining her youthful appearance. Despite the fact that she may still look just like she did in Big Little Lies, Witherspoon embraces the natural aging process and takes care of herself both inside and out.
