Reese Witherspoon introduces son Deacon’s debut single Long Run

Proud mom Reese Witherspoon introduces son Deacon’s debut single as the ‘perfect summer bop’ as he drops track Long Run

Deacon Phillippe dropped his first single on Friday. 

And mom Reese Witherspoon, 44, couldn’t have been more proud as she helped promote the 16-year-old’s track Long Run on Instagram, calling it the ‘perfect summer bop’.

Amusingly the actress also tried to adopt some youthful lingo to appeal to teens around the same age as Deacon as she called the track ‘sick’ and ‘dope’.

Back in February, the aspiring musician starred in a series of Instagram Stories videos his mother posted in which he taught her the finer points of dapping.

‘It’s basically just a handshake that I do with my friends,’ he explained.

But before he could show her how to dap, he had to explain the difference from dabbing, a celebratory gesture where one puts their arms up to the side at a diagonal angle while resting their head in the crook of their arm.

‘That trend died, like, two years ago,’ explained her son. 

Reese and Ryan were married from 1999 to 2006. 

Her relationship with talent agent Jim Toth first came to light in early 2010, and they married in March 2011.

She shares a third child with him, a son named Tennessee, seven.
