Reese Witherspoon married Ryan Phillippe when she was only 23 years old (but she was the mature kind of 23 not typical for the young Hollywood starlets of today). Together Reese and Ryan had two children, a daughter Ava Elizabeth Phillippe (b. 1999) and a son Deacon Reese Phillippe (b. 2003). The Ï‹ber-celebrity couple divorced after seven years of marriage. In 2011 Reese remarried a talent agent named Jim Toth and the new pair welcomed baby boy Tennessee James Toth on September 27, 2012. So far Reese has a pretty good track record when it comes to baby name selections. Ava was barely on anyone’s radar back in 1999 when she used it for her daughter; today Ava is the 5th most popular girl’s name in America. Deacon showed up on the U.S. male naming charts for the first time in 2004; no coincidence this was right after Reese chose the name for her baby boy. What about Tennessee? We’ll have to “Waitandsee”. She’s certainly a naming trend-setter, although one gets the sense that Reese just has a style that’s all her own.
