Reese shares her oldest children with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe 

She doesn't often share photos or videos of her family but occasionally posts glimpses of their life together to Instagram.

In January, the petite blonde uploaded a sweet snap of her youngest child lying on the floor bonding with the family's pet black Labrador, Major, which fans found especially heart-warming.

The Little Fires Everywhere actress captioned the image: "Tennessee's best bud, Major the lab puppy.... plus a very important Minnie Pearl t-shirt cameo," referring to the family's equally adorable pet pooch Minnie.

The star thrilled fans with the sunset photo

"Such an ADORABLE duo!!! They are so cute," one follower replied, while another quipped: "The pawfect pair!" "Oh my goodness! They are both completely scrumptious!" was another reply.

Reese introduced her fans to young Major in early January while Minnie joined the family last November.

The Hello Sunshine founder has also owned a white bull terrier named LouAnn since 2015.
