"Grateful to stand alongside other moms in this beautiful, messy journey. " The Gist Reese Witherspoon reflected on being a parent and an actress in Hollywood in a candid post that included a series of never-before-seen family photos. "It looked really hard sometimes. I'd cry working 14 to 17 hours, sometimes all night long and still woke up early for carpool. I was deliriously tired," she wrote candidly. Witherspoon is mother to Ava, Deacon, and Tennessee. Reese Witherspoon is taking a moment to reflect on the ups and downs of motherhood in Hollywood. In a new candid post on Instagram, the Legally Blonde actress opened up about what being a mother in the industry really "looked like." She wrote her reflections across a series of never-before-seen family photos of her and her three kids, Ava, Deacon, and Tennessee. "Someone asked me what raising three kids and building a career in Hollywood looked like..." she wrote over the first image, which was a selfie that featured Witherspoon and her three kids smiling into the camera. The next photo featured Witherspoon in an actor trailer with her son Tennessee grinning as he clambered on the sofa. "It looked like spending a lot of time in trailers together," she wrote. Then, she shared an older image of herself in a car with Ava and Deacon. "It looked like always being on the road together," she wrote. Then came an screenshot of a hilarious message from her son Deacon that read, "Mom you've butt-dialled an Instagram live." "It looked like my kids constantly giving me career advice!" Witherspoon wrote. She then got real about the difficulties of pairing Hollywood with parenting. "It looked really hard sometimes," she wrote. "I'd cry working 14 to 17 hours, sometimes all night long and still woke up early for carpool. I was deliriously tired." She then added, "It looked like trying to say something positive about work when I got home at night." In the final slide, an image of Witherspoon and a young Ava by a pond, she summed it up: "In conclusion, even though it was challenging at times, having kids gave me perspective about what was important in life. Nothing was better than getting to come home and hug them and hear about their day." She captioned the post, "Grateful to stand alongside other moms in this beautiful, messy journey.💕" Witherspoon welcomed Ava in 1999, Deacon in 2003 with ex Ryan Phillippe, and Tennessee followed in 2012 with ex Jim Toth. Throughout their childhoods, she starred in countless major films, including Legally Blonde 2, Vanity Fair, Walk the Line, Just Like Heaven, Wild, and many more.

Reese Witherspoon Gives Update on 'Legally Blonde' Series, Says Casting Young Elle Woods Is 'Kind of a Trip' (Exclusive)
Reese Witherspoon's Legally Blonde series, Elle, is beginning to come together. 'I'm really excited. We start in March,' Witherspoon, 48, tells PEOPLE of the prequel series, which follows future lawyer Elle Woods — the hero of the 2001 hit comedy and its 2003 sequel — and as she navigates high school. 'I'm really excited because we're going through the casting process right now and we're picking who is going to play the young me,' says Witherspoon. 'It's kind of a trip.' 'It's so exciting too, to watch these young girls that are so filled with enthusiasm and excitement and completely... There's so many good ones. That's the hard thing because there's so many good people to choose from,' she adds.

The fish-out-of-water story follows bubbly, pink-clad sorority sister Woods (Witherspoon) who decides to enroll at Harvard Law School in order to win back Warner (Matthew Davis), the boyfriend who dumped her because he didn't deem her serious enough. At the Ivy League institution, she's shunned and underestimated at every turn, but ultimately shows doubters she's just as smart — if not smarter — than everyone else. The movie made more than $140 million at the box office and was nominated for two Golden Globes: best picture — musical or comedy and best actress in a musical or comedy for Witherspoon. Elle, which will stream on Prime Video, was announced last May. 'Fans will get to know how Elle Woods navigated her world as a teenager with her distinct personality and ingenuity, in ways that only our beloved Elle could do,' Witherspoon, who is also an executive producer, said in a statement at the time.
