BOMBSHELL REVEALED: Reese Witherspoon's Secret Name Exposed!
The Queen of Hollywood, Reese Witherspoon, stunned fans on Wednesday when she dropped a bombshell revelation on the popular podcast "Table Manners" with Jessie and Lennie Ware. The 49-year-old actress was chatting about her childhood, kitchen essentials, and more when she casually mentioned that her name isn't what everyone thinks it is.
Reese's Secret Name Exposed
In a jaw-dropping moment, Witherspoon revealed that "Reese" isn't even her real first name! The "Legally Blonde" star shared that she was actually named after her grandmother, Laura Jean Reese. Yes, you read that right - Reese is her middle name, and Laura Jean is her actual first name.
"I'm a lot like my grandma," Witherspoon said with a smile. "She passed away when my mom was young, but I was named after her." When host Lennie Ware pointed out the shocker, Witherspoon confirmed, "No, Laura Jean is my first name." The duo then geeked out over the southern tradition of double names, where girls have two full names.
Tennessee Turns 13!
But that's not all - Witherspoon also took to Instagram to celebrate a major milestone: her youngest child, Tennessee's, 13th birthday. The "Morning Show" actress shared an adorable photo of herself and her mini-me son posing in front of a breathtaking view, with the caption: "How is it possible that my youngest boy is 13?! He never ceases to amaze me with his joyfulness, brilliant sense of humor, and endless curiosity. I love you so much, Tenn!"
The sweet snap showcased Witherspoon's effortless style in a black polka-dot dress and sunglasses, while her son rocked a light blue button-down and khaki pants, flashing their identical smiles.
