“Happy 18th birthday to our gorgeous, smart, talented and caring son,” the “Crash” star, who also shares a 22-year-old daughter with Witherspoon, captioned the post. “You are a true light in this world and are so loved by all who know you. We are lucky to be your mom and dad. Love you, pup. (I’d say we did pretty good @reesewitherspoon.)”
“The Morning Show” actress, 45, posted some photos and kind words about Deacon, as well.
“How did this happen?!! @deaconphillippe is 18?!!” she wrote. “One day he was trading Pokémon cards, singing Bruno Mars songs and playing American Ninja Warrior in the backyard. The next day, he is taller than me, cooking the family steaks on the grill and making his own music with his best friends. My heart is bursting with pride about the young man he is becoming. Happy 18th Birthday Deacon! I love you to the moon around the sun and all the stars.”
