Reese Witherspoon Shares Unique Nickname From Son Tennessee

Reese Witherspoon shared a list of the various nicknames she goes by, revealing a mix of affectionate and quirky monikers from different people in her life. Among them are "R Dubs" from her friends, "Ladybug" from her mother, "Pieces" from high school friends, and "Miss Reese" from her friends' children. Her older children, Ava and Deacon Phillippe, call her "Mama," but her youngest son Tennessee James Toth uniquely calls her "Morty," a nickname even she does not understand. Witherspoon also clarified that her birth name is Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon, with "Reese" being her mother's maiden name and the name she uses professionally. The revelation about her real first name surprised many fans, who expressed disbelief and shared personal connections to the name. The affectionate tributes from her children, especially on Tennessee's 12th birthday, highlight the close-knit family despite Witherspoon's recent divorce from Jim Toth.
