Reese Witherspoon was full of love for her youngest son Tennessee this week.

Her son – who she shares with ex James Toth, 12 – celebrated his 12th birthday on Friday, Sept. 27.

‘Happy 12th Birthday to my wonderful son, Tenn!’ the Legally Blonde star wrote.

‘I’m so lucky to have your joyful, curious, hilarious spirit in my life making me laugh everyday. I love you, buddy,’ she added, alongside the cute snap of them together. 

Witherspoon’s two other children Ava Phillippe, 25, and Deacon Philippe, 20, also shared their own touching photos and tributes to their little brother.
