“Stream, download, and listen to the album.”

Phillippe, 48, kept it simple in a plain white T-shirt with a red, black and white knit sweater, while his mini-me opted for a black shirt, a white checkered jacket and a multicolored beaded necklace.

Deacon, 19, also posed for a snap with his mom, and 23-year-old sister Ava Phillippe.

The newly single “Big Little Lies” star stunned in a red plaid jacket with jeans, while her lookalike daughter wore a green crop top with black leather pants and a belt.

Witherspoon, who also shares 10-year-old son Tennessee with estranged husband Jim Toth, took to social media in support of her eldest son.

“Let’s goooo @deaconphillippe,” she captioned a screenshot of Spotify’s “New Pop Picks,” which featured his song, “Virus,” on her Instagram Story.

The party marked one of the Hello Sunshine founder’s first outings since she filed for divorce from Jim, 52, on April 1 after 12 years of marriage.

“We have some personal news to share. It is with a great deal of care and consideration that we have made the difficult decision to divorce,” Witherspoon wrote on Instagram March 24.

“We have enjoyed so many wonderful years together and are moving forward with deep love, kindness, and mutual respect for everything we have created together,” she continued.

The “Walk The Line” Oscar winner, who since has deleted the post, called Tennessee their “biggest priority.”

They have reunited throughout the years, including at Deacon’s June 2022 high school graduation.

The former soap star credited his ex-wife with being “very good about” creating a “healthy” family dynamic.

“You have to get to that point as a divorced parent … where you’re not putting yourself first,” Ryan told “Entertainment Tonight.” in 2016.

“You want the kids’ experience to be its own.”
