An Osсar-awarded actress, producer and entrepreneur, charming Reese Witherspoon was announced to be merely the highest-paid actress last year. Literally swimming in worldwide recognition since the beginning of the millennium, the woman does not take her incredible success for granted. Reese shoots at least one movie or TV series per year.
As a philanthropist, Witherspoon engages with organizations fighting for the rights of children and women. Declared to be among the Forbes World’s 100 Most Powerful Women in 2019, the actress has been serving on the board of the CDF and charitable Avon Foundation for more than a decade already.
Reese is also a co-founder of the Hello Sunshine media firm, which produces female-led films and series.
Though the actress played the lead in 1996 Fear, an unprecedented breakthrough waited for her in 1999. Cruel Intentions became fateful for Witherspoon not only for her huge success in it and extensive popularity afterwards. The shooting backed up her and Phillippe’s relations started two years earlier.
Looking at the loving couple, no one could ever imagine them separating one day. However, it was Reese to trigger the divorce. The actress cited some irreconcilable differences which forced her to make such a decision. Trying to agree on custody of their children, the Hollywood stars turned their break-up into an exhausting two-year process.
Nowadays, Ryan and Reese still seem to be friends. They often spend time together with their children.

For now, Deacon has finally barreled into the spotlight. This summer, the 16-year-old boy released his first single Long Run in collaboration with Nina Nesbitt. The young musician was in charge of composing, while the songwriter provided the vocals. Ryan was too excited not to spread the word on his Instagram and celebrate his son’s major achievement.

Mamma’s princess, whose name means “lovable”, Kai saw her father Ryan only at the moment of her own birth. The Hollywood star did not care for the child or even support a mother-daughter duet financially then. Perhaps, because there still have been questions surrounding Kai’s paternity.
The girl’s mother, Phillippe’s ex-girlfriend with whom he separated before getting to know she was pregnant, does not disclose any information about her. The Pitch Perfect star Alexis Knapp only shares occasional lovely pics on the Instagram account.
