Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe came together in Manhattan on Friday, May 15 to celebrate their son Deacon’s milestone achievement: graduation ceremony of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.
The former couple, who divorced in 2006 after nearly a decade of marriage, were photographed outside Radio City Music Hall alongside their daughter Ava (26) and Witherspoon’s youngest son Tennessee
Both parents proudly snapped photos of Deacon who donned a purple gown and gold stole as he accepted his diploma. Witherspoon looked polished in a navy button front dress paired with a crisp white blazer and matching accessories. On the other hand, Phillippe opted for a relaxed look in a white shirt, black trousers and sneakers.
The family posed for photos together, with Ava documenting the day on Instagram and Phillippe sharing a candid shot of “The Graduate” strolling through the streets of New York. The reunion reflected the pair’s long-standing commitment to co-parenting. Since their split, Witherspoon and Phillippe have consistently supported their children’s milestones. Be it their birthdays or graduations, they have always maintained a cordial friendship.
Witherspoon and Phillippe first met in 1997 before starring together in Cruel Intentions.
They married in 1999 and welcomed Ava later that year, followed by Deacon in 2003.
