Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon has unveiled her exciting plans for her upcoming 50th birthday, which she will celebrate on March 22, 2025.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the Legally Blonde actress shared that she plans to mark the milestone with a European getaway alongside her youngest son, Tennessee James Toth, 13, whom she shares with ex-husband Jim Toth. “It’s just me and him — I’m excited about it!” Reese said. “I’m off to visit friends in Italy, kind of tootling around a little bit.”
Reflecting on turning 50, the actress added, “I like getting older. I think it’s great to be wiser and understand your place in a business. I’ve worked really hard to get to that place… I feel like I’m living my purpose, for sure. I love my job. I love my fans. I’m the captain of my own destiny.” Besides Tennessee, Reese is also the mother of Ava Phillippe, 26, and Deacon Phillippe, 22, from her previous marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe.

Elsewhere in the interview, the Big Little Lies star opened up about her experience as a young mother, revealing she faced postpartum depression after Ava’s birth. “It was really bad,” she admitted. “In the first six months, I was simultaneously happy and depressed. I just cried all the time… It was a hormone drop I didn’t expect.”
Reese added that being a young mom came with challenges. “Everyone has an opinion. It’s hard being a young mom and having people tell you how to be, how to react, how to nurse and how to feed your baby. It’s inundating.”
