All About Reese Witherspoon & Ryan Phillippe’s Son
Deacon was born on October 23, 2003, and is the brother of Ava Phillippe and brother Tennessee Toth, whom Witherspoon shares with her ex-husband, Jim Toth.
Deacon grew up largely out of the limelight, but as an adult, he has embraced it and launched a career as a musician. In April 2023, he shared details about the release of the first part of his debut album, “A New Earth,” which was met with the full support of his loved ones.
He made the announcement on Instagram, writing, “All I can say is that it came from pure love, for what I do and for the people that listen. This is a story of my life, our lives, and of love and life in general; it carries thoughts and emotions that I’ve accumulated, felt, observed, bottled up, and dealt with through the last 19 years of my life,” People reports. “This project was created in my dorm, made by three college kids with big dreams and bigger hearts.”
Deacon revealed in a chat with Interview magazine in December 2020, how his father inspired his love for music. “When I was listening to the radio in the car with my dad, something just clicked,” he said. “I realized there’s more to making music than just being a vocalist, and that a lot of times it’s the production that makes me feel something. I asked my dad about how it works, and he taught me all the stuff he knew, and then I started watching YouTube videos.”
