Reese Witherspoon opened up about balancing motherhood with her Hollywood career in a candid Instagram post on Thursday. The Oscar-winning actress, 49, shared a carousel of photos featuring her three children—Ava Phillippe, 25, and Deacon Phillippe, 21, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, and Tennessee James Toth, 12, with ex-husband Jim Toth. “Someone asked me what raising three kids and building a career in Hollywood looked like…” she wrote over a selfie with all three. She described “spending a lot of time in trailers together” and “always being on the road together.” One image showed a text from Ava about accidentally butt-dialing an Instagram live, prompting Witherspoon to joke, “It looked like my kids constantly giving me career advice!” The actress acknowledged the challenges: “I’d cry working 14 to 17 hours sometimes all night long and still woke up early for carpool. I was deliriously tired.” Yet she said “nothing was better than getting to come home and hug them and hear about their day!” “Grateful to stand alongside other moms in this beautiful, messy journey,” she added.
