In this mother-son snapshot, we can see them smiling from ear to ear on some kind of boat, and we seriously love this moment between them. While Tennessee is truly the perfect mix of her and her ex-husband Jim Toth, there are two major things he shares with his mom: his nose and his hair.

As you can see, Tennessee already has his mama’s nose, and bright blonde hair like hers!

For those who don’t know, Witherspoon and her ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe, share two children together, named Ava Elizabeth Phillippe, born in Sept 1999, and Deacon, born in Oct 2003. She and her second ex-husband Jim also have a son together named Tennessee James Toth, born in Sept 2012.

In a recent interview with The Interview, Witherspoon talked about how she parents Tennessee differently from her other two children. She said, “Whenever I lose my cool. I turn to my youngest and I go, ‘You got to call your brother and sister. They wore me out. I’m so tired. Like, eat the cookie. Go to bed late. Just do it, you know, but like, think about how it’s going to make you feel.’”

She added, “And then like beyond that, I’m so tired. I’ve been parenting for 25 years.”

These celebrities shared the important & heartwarming life lessons they learned from their moms.
