Reese Witherspoon has little nicknames everywhere.
The Legally Blonde star revealed the different names people in her life have called her over the years—and her 12-year-old son Tennessee Toth, whom she shares with ex-husband Jim Toth, gave her the most unique one: “Morty.”
Although, as the 49-year-old told fans in her May 7 Instagram video, she has “no clue why.”
The Oscar winner went on to reveal several more monikers—including her “government” name Laura Jeanne—she’s known for. Those include, “‘Reese’ to my fans, ‘Sister’ to my brother, ‘R Dubs’ to my friends, ‘Ladybug’ to my mother, and ‘Pieces’ to my high school children.”
And the list doesn’t end there, as she noted her and ex Ryan Phillippe’s older kids Ava Phillippe, 25, and Deacon Phillippe, 21, call her “mama.” Meanwhile, her friends’ children refer to her as “Miss Reese.”
When the Big Little Lies actor isn’t gushing over her bond with Tennessee, she’s celebrating his special day around the sun. Reese dedicated a sweet Instagram post to him for his birthday last September, and the photos she shared prove he’s her third mini-me.
“Happy 12th Birthday to my wonderful son, Tenn!” Reese wrote on the post at the time, which featured a shot of the two smiling. “I’m so lucky to have your joyful, curious, hilarious spirit in my life making me laugh everyday. I love you, buddy.”
And fittingly, his older siblings chimed in with some love. Ava shared a throwback photo on her Instagram Stories that same month, joking about how quickly he was growing up.
“Can’t believe my once tiny brother is now 12 years old & about to be my same height,” she teased. “Happy happy birthday to this quick-witted, funny, curious & thoughtful dude that I’m lucky enough to call my baby brother.”
