Reese Witherspoon’s Photo with Her Son Sparks Debate about Whether He’s His Mom’s or Dad’s ‘Twin’

Reese Witherspoon graced this year’s Golden Globe Awards with his son, Deacon Phillippe, as her date. Her photo with Deacon, posted on Instagram, sparked debate amongst her followers about who the young man resembles more.

Reese Witherspoon shared a glimpse into her evening with her son, Deacon Philippe, capturing the precious moment they attended the Golden Globe Awards in a heartwarming Instagram post.

The post featured Reese and Deacon smiling side-by-side, looking great at the black-tie event. The “Legally Blonde” star looked radiant in an off-shoulder dress and simple silver accessories while her son was in a suit and bowtie.

Besides admiration from fans, Reese’s snapshot prompted her followers to weigh in on who Deacon resembled more, his mother or father, Ryan Philippe. Instagram users shared their thoughts in the comments section, with many referring to the mother and son as “twins.”

However, others firmly believed that Deacon looked more like his dad. “I thought that was Ryan for a second,” one person said. Another person agreed, writing, “Your son looks almost exactly like Ryan. I had to take a double take.”

Meanwhile, one person joined the debate on familial resemblances but thought Deacon looked like a perfect mix of his parents. “He’s like both your twin and Ryan’s twin at the same time!” the person said.

Interestingly, the 2024 Golden Globes was not the first time Deacon made a public appearance. In an interview with Kevin Fraizer during the award ceremony, Deacon highlighted how it was “cooler” to attend such events as an adult because he understood the essence of the celebration more. He also emphasized that it was a wonderful way to spend time with his mother.

Deacon, who is a college student, agreed to be his mother’s date to the Golden Globes while he was on school break. Reese, undoubtedly happy to be with her son, shared the moment he said yes and how they got his tux at the last minute.

Deacon Phillippe is Reese’s eldest son with her ex-husband. Fans can catch a glimpse of his life on social media, including a preview of his college apartment with friends.
