Reese Witherspoon’s doppelganger son Deacon towered over his famous mother as the couple attended the 2024 WSJ Innovators Awards in New York on Tuesday.
The Oscar-winning actress, 48, who stands 5ft 1in, was dwarfed by her 5ft 10-year-old son, 21, despite her high stiletto heels as they posed happily together.
Reese wowed in a one-shoulder fitted black dress that flaunted her petite figure.
She paired her elegant look with black heels and simple gold hoops.
Deacon, whose father is Reese’s ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, 50, looked dapper in a white shirt and navy suit.
Reese Witherspoon’s lookalike son Deacon towered over his famous mother as the couple attended the 2024 WSJ Innovators Awards on Tuesday.
Baby Nepo, Deacon, has been living in New York City since starting NYU in 2022 and quickly began following in his famous parents’ footsteps into acting.
In addition to appearing in two episodes of the popular Netflix series Never Have I Ever, Deacon released a 12-track album, A New Earth, last year.
Meanwhile, the Legally Blonde star has been busy filming the fourth season of The Morning Show with Jennifer Aniston in New York.
The Oscar winner welcomed Deacon during her nine-year marriage to Ryan Phillippe.
The former couple also shares daughter Ava, 24.
The exes met at the Morning Show star’s 21st birthday party in 1997.
Two years later they starred in Cruel Intentions alongside Selma Blair and got married.
Phillippe and Witherspoon split in October 2006 and issued a joint statement at the time.
The Oscar-winning actress, 48, who stands 5ft 1in, was dwarfed by her 5ft 10-year-old son, 21, despite her high stiletto heels as they posed happily together.

“We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally separate,” a rep for the couple said.
“They remain committed to their family and we ask that you respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time.”
Witherspoon married Jim Toth and welcomed their 11-year-old son Tennessee.
She and Toth announced their separation in March 2023.
The Prey actor never remarried, but shares his 12-year-old daughter Kai with ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp.
Reese is now in a relationship with financier Oliver Haarmann, 57.
Their relationship first came to public attention last July when they traveled together by helicopter to New York City.
From there they headed to L’Artusi restaurant in midtown Manhattan’s West Village for a romantic dinner for two.
At the time, one source claimed they were just “friends,” while another said The Morning Show star was “taking things slow when it comes to dating.”
