Reese Witherspoon has shared a rare picture with her brother John to celebrate national sibling day.

"My Brother John taught me so much about how to explore the world. As kids, we were always exploring and looking for new adventures," she captioned the selfie.

"Wherever we were, whether it was in the woods or at a go kart track or white water rafting, he encouraged me to be strong & fearless."

Others couldn't get over how much the Legally Blonde star's son Deacon looked like his uncle.

Fans thought her son Deacon looked just like his uncle

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