Reese Witherspoon Plans Europe Mother-Son Trip for 50th Birthday

New remarks pair the travel plan with frank talk about maternal mental health, including the toll of 25 years of parenting.

Overview

  • Witherspoon says she will mark her March 22, 2026 milestone with a mother‑son trip to Europe with 13-year-old Tennessee.
  • She told Harper’s Bazaar the getaway will include visiting friends in Italy and “tootling around,” noting it will be just the two of them.
  • Reflecting on aging, she said she likes getting older and feels she is living her purpose after working to find her place in the business.
  • She recounted experiencing severe postpartum depression after daughter Ava’s 1999 birth, describing months of exhaustion and constant tears tied to a hormone drop.
  • On The Interview podcast, she described being completely wrung out after 25 years of motherhood and at times redirecting her youngest to lean on his older siblings.
