Reese Witherspoon got candid about becoming a young mom while married to her first ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe, in the late 1990s.
“There was so much I didn’t know,” the “Morning Show” star shared on “The Interview” podcast Saturday.
The actress, who was married to Phillippe from 1999 to 2008, explained that she didn’t realize the sacrifices she would have to make in her acting career after giving birth to their daughter, Ava, in 1999.
“And maybe that naïveté was good, because it’s like, ‘Oh, I’ll just do that and have a career’,” Witherspoon, 49, continued. “And I did have a few people say to me, ‘This is going to be really hard on your career.’”
The “Big Little Lies” star explained there “were roles [she] couldn’t take,” as she navigated balancing her “family and career, being a mom and being a working actress.
