Reese Witherspoon’s New Photo of Son Tenn Has Us Rethinking Who Her Lookalike Really Is


Reese Witherspoon must have figured out the secret to cloning because her latest photos officially grant her son Tennessee “Tenn” lookalike status. The Hello Sunshine founder shared two new pictures with her youngest son for his birthday, and we can’t get over how much they look alike!


In the first photo, Witherspoon hugs Tenn on the beach. She’s smiling with her eyes closed — soaking in the sunshine and sweet cuddles — as Tenn looks to the camera with a toothy grin. They are so cute!

In the second photo, you can really tell how similar they are. Witherspoon and her son are both wearing matching black, and they are posed with their arms crossed and a proud smirk on their faces. It looks like Tenn stole his mom’s whole face in this photo — he is definitely her mini-me!


The Morning Show star also wrote a sweet tribute to Tenn, who she shares with ex-husband Jim Toth. “Happy 11th Birthday to my wonderful son, Tenn! 💫” she said. “I love your curiosity, your endless energy and your playful sense of humor.”

“Everyday you make me think more about the world around us and dream even bigger,” she continued. “I 💙you so much, Buddy!”


Witherspoon, who normally shares lookalike status with her daughter Ava, 24, recently sent a public service announcement to moms navigating back to school season. Her reminders have turned into mantras for us, which included: “You are doing an AMAZING job,” “things don’t have to look Pinterest perfect,” “the little, simple moments will be their biggest memories,” and “Your kids will be absolutely fine, just breathe mama.”


How does she know exactly how to hit us in the feels? The mom of three (who also has son Deacon, 19) doesn’t always have it all figured out, though. Last year, she shared a funny video of herself trying to understand her kids’ slang terms.

“Me looking up ‘yeet’ on Urban Dictionary after my kid says it for the 100th time,” the Legally Blonde alum wrote on a video of herself making a puzzled face. She captioned it, “But literally, what is it? 🤦🏼‍♀️” Girl, we have all been there!


Even if she doesn’t always full understand them, you can tell how much Witherspoon loves her kids. They should all be honored to look just like her!

These celebrity parents are sharing the struggle — and sweetness — of raising teenagers.
