"HUGE Birthday wishes to my boy @deaconphillippe!!" Reese captioned her Oct. 23 Instagram post. "Actually, not a boy, he is a 20-year-old man today! Deacon, you are such a ray of sunshine, love and positivity in this world. Keep shining that wonderful light on us all! I [heart emoji] you!"

The Big Little Lies star's carousel of photos of Deacon over the years included a selfie of the mother-son duo and a video of Deacon singing on stage. And on her Instagram Story, Reese couldn't help but give her middle child another shout-out—getting a shot of the musician dipping his chicken nugget into ketchup as he candidly looked into the camera.
