American actress Reese Witherspoon, like no one else, proved that a pretty blonde can achieve success in the profession, get an Oscar, found a production company, and become the head of a charitable foundation. And combine all this with raising three children.
Early start
Reese began her film career very early - she got her first role in The Man in the Moon at the age of fifteen. Until this moment, Reese was engaged in acting, took part in various competitions. Although the actress's parents were far from the world of cinema, they are both medical professionals. Immediately after the first film, Witherspoon was noticed by critics and directors, and the girl had many offers and filming. Success was not long in coming - in 2001, Reese starred in the cult comedy Legally Blonde.
But a couple of years before the resounding success, Reese had some pleasant changes in her personal life. In 1999, Reese married actor Ryan Philip, famous for his youth films. The lovers met at a party that Reese threw on the day of her majority. Ryan came to the party with his friend and immediately noticed the radiant blonde. The young people liked each other, but Ryan flew off to shoot the hit film I Know What You Did Last Summer. Interestingly, Reese was also offered a role in this picture, but she was scared of the horror film genre.
Family weekdays
Witherspoon flew to Ryan for the shooting, and after their graduation, the lovers moved to Los Angeles and began to live together. Soon, the actress finds out that she is pregnant and the couple decides to get married. At the beginning of summer, a wedding took place, and in September the actress gave birth to her daughter Ava, who was so named after Ryan's grandmother. It so happened that the father was engaged in raising his daughter, in the life of Reese there was a shooting in the film "Legally Blonde". Someone had to sacrifice a career for the sake of the family. While his wife was actively filming Ryan Philip took care of the house and children. In 2003, the family had a son, Deacon. Reese again had to leave the child in the care of her husband - a year she starred in two or three films. And, unfortunately, Philip's career began to decline. You can't drop out of the cast for so long.
In 2006, the movie Walking the Line was released for the leading role in which Reese Witherspoon won an Oscar. After such success, the girl abruptly moved into the category of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. In her acceptance speech at the Oscars, the actress warmly thanked her husband for his support. And literally six months later, the couple announced their separation. The reasons for the breakup were not publicly disclosed. Reese had suspicions of her husband's affair with a partner on the set, Ryan was tired of being an attachment to his famous wife. As a result, a year and a half after parting (there was a long divorce process, but without scandals), the couple was officially divorced. The children stayed with their mother.
Second try
The actress did not get into a series of consolation novels, as is often the case after a divorce. Ryan was free to see the children and spend time with them. Looking ahead, I must say that Ryan never married again, although he has a daughter from a colleague in the shop. He continues to see children from Reese Witherspoon as often, despite the fact that his ex-wife remarried.
Reese had little affairs and romances before she met her second husband, acting agent Jim Toth. In 2011, the lovers played a wedding, and a year later a third child appeared in the family - Reese gave birth to a son, Tennessee (she named her son after the state in which she spent her childhood). And again, the actress starred a lot, but remembering the mistakes of her first marriage, she always put the family in the first place and began to abandon long-term projects. She even founded her own production company, Type A Films, to choose interesting offers herself.
But then the children slowly grew up, and everyone noticed the striking similarity between Reese and her daughter Ava. But the girl is much taller than her mother, so she chose a modeling career. Ava often appears with her stellar mother at film festivals and presentations, and takes part in photo sessions. The girl already has several advertising contracts, and fans are following her life on social networks. Ava also took part in the Debutante Ball in Paris, which can only be entered after a strict selection. And most importantly, the girl is credited with an affair with the nephew of Sir Paul McCartney himself.
The younger sons of the actress are also fantastically similar in appearance to her. Both are blue-eyed blondes. The eldest son, Deacon, is already sixteen. The actress often broadcasts family life on her personal page and one can only be amazed at how much time she spends with her children with such busyness in the cinema. Reese not only follows the boys' school progress, she personally or together with her husband accompanies the youngest son of Tennessee to football lessons. The boy began to play sports recently, while the parents do not bet on success, but only look closely at the child's achievements. The middle son goes to school, the family often spends time together, even goes on a hike. The Hollywood actress cannot be frightened by the field conditions, she will set up a tent and cook food on the fire. It was not for nothing that Reese starred in the drama Wild, where her heroine spent many months alone in a mountain hike.
