His famous father has shared his anger over kids of famous people being called nepo-babies

A NEPO-BABY with two A-list parents has been spotted in New York – but do you know who he is?

The 21-year-old is already following in their footsteps after it was reported last year he’s landed his first major role.

His parents, who are no longer together, were once one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples.

And along with son Deacon the former flames share daughter Ava, 25.

Deacon – the son of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe – was snapped taking a stroll in NYC this week.

He dressed down for the outing and was wearing earphones and carrying a bottle of water.

Alongside his budding acting career Deacon is studying music as New York University.

Reese, 48, and Ryan, 50, met on the set of Cruel Intentions in 1998 and got married a year later.

But they separated after six years of marriage, with their divorce being finalized in 2006.

Deacon made his acting debut on Netflix series Never Have I Ever in 2022 and has already released an album.

But dad Ryan has hit out at critics calling his children nepo-babies.

He said: “So many people grow up and end up doing what their parents do, you know, to some degree or another.

“I come from a really blue-collar family, and so many of my family members ― my cousins whose dad was an electrician, guess what they became?

Speaking to Extra TV, he added: “I always get offended for the children of actors and entertainers when people bring that up because yeah, of course, that’s what they’ve grown up around.”
