Reese Witherspoon had the perfect date for the premiere of her pal Zoë Kravitz’s new movie.
The actress and producer, 48, was joined by her son Deacon Phillippe — whom she shares with actor Ryan Phillippe — as she supported Kravitz at the Los Angeles premiere of Blink Twice on Thursday, August 8.

Witherspoon was also spotted posing on the red carpet with the woman of the hour, Kravitz, who makes her directorial debut with Blink Twice, a thriller starring her fiancé, Channing Tatum, and Naomi Ackie.

Inside the theater, Kravitz, 35, paid tribute to her man, describing Tatum as the “love of [her] life,”

Making this film with you has been an awfully great adventure. Thank you for trusting me to ‘female direct’ you. It’s really very cool to get to make a movie but when you get to do it with the love of your life, it’s even cooler.”

Witherspoon, Kravitz, Dern, Nicole Kidman and Shailene Woodley are expected to reunite for a third season of Big Little Lies, which Kidman recently said is “moving fast and furious.”
“We’re in good shape,” Kidman told Vanity Fair. “So the rest is — we need to shut up because there’s this whole thing that you should never talk about something until you’ve done it. Because if you talk about doing it, it’s the dopamine hit of doing it. You feel like you’ve done it.”
