Witherspoon and Ryan met back in 1997, getting engaged a year and a half later. They married in 1999, welcoming two children named Ava, 23, and Deacon, 18. The two divorced in 2006, with Witherspoon remarrying with agent Jim Toth in 2011. They have a son named Tennessee, 9.

Back in 2019 on her Hello Sunshine YouTube channel, Witherspoon talked about how while motherhood was scary, it was a beautiful thing that changed everything. “Your entire life will change. Everything — everything you believe, every piece of food you eat, every piece of independence you have.”

She added, “You can’t go out without thinking about another person, you can’t go get your groceries without thinking about another person. You don’t think about whether you’re cold or hot, you think about your kid and whether they’re cold or hot. You don’t sleep anymore.”
