Reese Witherspoon has taken to Instagram to share photos of her son Deacon's birthday in photos which show off the stunning interior of the actress' home. 

The star of The Morning Show, 47, posted a carousel of personal photos of her son whom she shares with ex-husband Ryan Philippe. Reese shared a picture of Deacon with their adorable dog Benji whom they rescued from an animal sanctuary in Utah in 2020.

In the photo, the mother-of-three gave her 29.8 million Instagram followers an insight into her living room in one of her properties. The picture showed a crisp minimalist scheme with a large TV mounted on a white paneled wall with an off-white sofa and neutral throw cushions.

The sweet photo also offered a peek into Reese's adjoining dining room which features a rustic bare wood table and matching chairs in a mid-brown colour. The star has previously owned property in Bel Air, Nashville, Ojai, Laurel Canyon, Malibu, and the Pacific Palisades.

The Legally Blonde actress also shared a black and white posed photo of her son and a smiling photo of herself and her 20-year-old son on what appeared to be the streets of New York. 

The doting mother captioned her post: "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," she continued. "Keep shining that wonderful light on us all! I you !".

Reese also reminded fans of Deacon's budding music career in a video she took at one of his gigs. The actress' son sang in a bare brick venue in a black vest and matching jeans. He released his debut album, 'A NEW EARTH',  under the moniker Deacon earlier this year. 

Fans ran to the comment section to congratulate Deacon on his big day and a few famous faces were also in the comments wishing Deacon well. Sharper star Julianne Moore wished Deacon a "happy birthday" whilst entrepreneur Sara Blakely commented: "Talent as big as his heart! Good job mama! Happy Bday Deacon!".

Reese also has two other children – 24-year-old Ava from her previous marriage to Ryan Phillippe and 11-year-old Tennessee from her marriage to Jim Toth, whom she divorced this year.

Fans of the actress are quick to point out Ava's likeness to her Hollywood star mother whenever Reese posts family photos, which is frequent. She wished Ava a happy 24th birthday in September in a sweet look-alike photo of the pair.

The actress said: "It's the joy of my life to watch you grow and become the most inspiring, thoughtful, creative, dynamic, funny woman. I have learned so much from being your mom."

Reese also wished Tennessee a happy birthday in September saying she loves his curiosity, endless energy, and playful sense of humor. Deacon himself has also shared sweet photos alongside his siblings including the trio looking relaxed this summer.

Witherspoon has previously shared the importance motherhood takes, despite her Hollywood stardom in projects like Big Little Lies and Little Fires Everywhere.

In a November 2021 InStyle interview Reese said her children are her "first, most important priority" and added, "if I told you how much space in my brain they take up every day – do you even think they know? I don't even think they know."
