Reese Witherspoon recently attended the WSJ. Magazine Innovator Awards, where she expressed her happiness at the event. The actress, 48, revealed that what makes her happy is her kids, her company, and having her son Deacon, 21, by her side. Witherspoon looked stunning at the event in a one-shouldered black gown, complemented by delicate gold rings and hoop earrings. Deacon also looked sharp in an indigo suit with a white button-down shirt. Witherspoon shares Deacon and her daughter Ava, 25, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, and she also has a son named Tennessee, 12, whom she coparents with ex-husband Jim Toth.
Apart from her family, Witherspoon finds joy in her work on The Morning Show, a series on Apple TV+ that she coproduces with Jennifer Aniston. The show, which premiered in 2019, is based on Brian Stelter’s book “Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV.” Witherspoon plays an up-and-coming anchor on the show, while Aniston portrays a veteran TV broadcaster. The success of the show led to the greenlighting of a fourth season earlier this year. In season 3, Witherspoon’s character, Bradley, quit her job at the station amidst controversy around her sibling’s involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot.
During a press conference in December 2023, Witherspoon joked about the uncertainty surrounding her character’s fate, revealing that many people can relate to the struggles of dealing with embarrassing family history or family members trying to bring them down. She described her character, Bradley, as someone who is torn between wanting to excel in her career and being weighed down by family obligations and isolation. Despite the intense storyline, Witherspoon expressed her joy in working on the show, stating that it feels more like pleasure than work for her every day on set.
Details about The Morning Show season 4, including a premiere date, have not been disclosed yet. Witherspoon’s dedication to the show and her passion for her work on it is evident in her comments about the joy she finds in the project. Along with her family and her production company, Hello Sunshine, The Morning Show has become a source of happiness for Witherspoon. As she continues to navigate the world of Hollywood and motherhood, Witherspoon remains focused on finding joy in both her personal life and her career. Despite the ups and downs she faces, Witherspoon’s positive attitude and dedication to her work shine through in everything she does.
