The famous actress played a guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" earlier this week. Speaking in a session with guest host Kerry Washington, Reese Witherspoon explained that she believed it was her job to embarrass her kids.

Witherspoon currently has three children. She and her husband, Jim Toth, share one child —7-year-old Tennessee. She also has 20-year-old Ava and 16-year-old Deacon from a previous relationship with actor Ryan Philippe.

"He released his song this summer! I'm so proud of him, he's the producer... I just could not be prouder of him."

Witherspoon's support of her son goes beyond just talking about it. The proud mom even recently got her dancing shoes and rocked to the track.

Last month, Witherspoon published a social media video where she and her son listened to the hit track on his phone. The actress couldn't contain her excitement at the track, and she soon got up and began dancing.

In part, she highlighted that motherhood helped her to mature more quickly. She also explained that childbirth's physical effects were behind her, and she was free to enjoy herself more.
