Reese Witherspoon Brings Eldest Son Deacon as Her Date to the 2024 Golden Globes: Watch

Reese Witherspoon brought a very special date to the 2024 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, January 7: her eldest son, Deacon Phillippe, whom she shares with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.

Luckily, the actress, 47, had some advice for the 20-year-old, who admitted it was his first awards show and Golden Globes. "There's two main things: gum, hand sanitizer and be nice to everyone," he shared.

"Curfew we'll see — I am following her tonight. She's the party animal. I am going to try and keep up," he joked on the red carpet.

Host Marc Malkin then asked Witherspoon how excited she is to shoot the next season of The Morning Show.

"We're on such a roll. I've had such great feedback about Season 3, so Jen [Aniston] and I are excited to get started. We haven't had any scripts yet," she shared, adding that she's also working on another season of Big Little Lies.

In order to prep for the big day, makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan applied the Kat Burki Vital Hydrogen Blast to Witherspoon's face and neck as a mask for 20 minutes. She also used other Kat Burki products, including the Kat Burki Super Nutrient Elixir for her skin and the Kat Burki Vitamin C Intense Face Cream.

Additionally, celebrity hairstylist Lona Maria Vigi worked with Witherspoon on getting her hair just right, which included using some KERASILK products, including KERASILK Bond Builder and KERASILK Multi-Benefit Hair Oil.

The actress, who is also a mom to daughter Ava, whom she shares with Phillippe, and son Tennessee, whom she shares with ex Jim Toth, also brought Deacon as her date the night before when they were spotted at the Vanity Fair pre-Golden Globe party on January 6.

In June 2021, the Legally Blonde alum gushed about her bond with her adult children.

"That makes me want to cry, the idea of having a long relationship with adult children," she told Interview magazine while chatting with Tracee Ellis Ross. "I never expected the kind of relationship that I have with them, but it's so rewarding to be able to have kids that you can process life with a little bit, and they help me understand the complexities of what it means to be a human now."

She continued, "So I'm really, really grateful that these little humans are in my life. Adult humans. I have two adult children now, Tracee. It's crazy."

In 2023, Reese also explained some of her parenting tactics.

“I see this a lot with parents. I don’t know when we stopped letting our kids fail,” she said on the "Good Inside with Dr. Becky" podcast.

“I think learning from failure is actually a valuable tool that you can’t take away from kids. You rob them if you don’t let them sit in the discomfort of the experience," she added.
