Witherspoon’s celebratory post with her children comes just weeks after she opened up about suffering from depression after giving birth to her daughter Ava in 1999, when she was just 23.
“It was really bad,” Witherspoon told Harper’s Bazaar in the December/January issue. “For the first six months, I felt happy and depressed at the same time. I was crying all the time, I was up all night, and I was exhausted.”
