Deacon, the son of former couple Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, graduated from Mountain High School in June 2022 and is set to pursue music at college. Both of Deacon's parents attended his high-school graduation, with Witherspoon sharing a sweet tribute on her Instagram, expressing her excitement over her son's major milestone. "Congrats to you @deaconphillippe on Graduating High School! 💫So proud of the thoughtful, talented, kind & generous young man you have become. You light up our hearts and make us proud everyday. We 🧡you!," she captioned the post.
While it's unclear what school Deacon will be attending, Phillippe shared that his 18-year-old son's chief focus is being a musician. "I am so proud. He's about to go to college for music. That's his primary focus," Phillippe told Entertainment Tonight in an Aug. 3 interview. "The acting thing he likes to do, and he will do according to what his appetite for it is, but his focus is primarily music." Deacon recently guest-starred on "Never Have I Ever" season three and has already put out a couple of singles, including his 2020 collaboration with Nina Nesbitt, "Long Run."
