Actress Witherspoon gives birth

Actress Reese Witherspoon has given birth to her third child, naming him after a place close to her heart.

Meredith O’Sullivan Wasson, Witherspoon’s publicist, said “Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth welcomed Tennessee James into their family today. Both mom and baby are healthy and the entire family is thrilled.”

The 36-year-old Legally Blonde and Walk The Line star lived in Tennessee when she was young.

Witherspoon is already a mother to Ava, 13, and Deacon, 8, from her previous marriage to Ryan Phillippe. Toth is an agent for Creative Artists Agency.
