Witherspoon recently opened up about motherhood and raising her three kids in a conversation with Gayle King forInStylemagazine’s December/January 2022 cover story.
“My first, most important priority is my kids. If I told you how much space in my brain they take up every day— do you even think they know, Gayle? I don’t even think they know,” she said.
The actress also discussed whether her kids plan to follow in her Hollywood footsteps.
“It’s an odd situation because I didn’t grow up famous. So [Ava is] living an experience that I did not have, and so are my sons,” she explains. “We are lucky enough to have friends who grew up in Hollywood and can help give them advice on how to navigate. Ava is so down-to-earth. She wants to do great things in the world. She’s studying and learning and trying to find herself. It’s a big thing in life to try different things and figure out what is really your path.”
