Gwyneth Paltrow also shared a message to Witherspoon on her Instagram Story Wednesday. Paltrow, 50 — who is currently in Park City, Utah, for a trial surrounding a 2016 ski accident — shared a throwback photo featuring the actress and wrote, "Happy birthday dear @reesewitherspoon. I took this snap as you guys were leaving that great trip. There was so much good energy in this car. Look at that smile."

Additionally, Octavia Spencer marked Witherspoon's birthday on Instagram, writing, "There really needs to be more than just one day to celebrate this incredible person who whole-heartedly honors all women, everywhere, everyday. Reese, you are an inspiration and I am so proud to call you my friend and colleague. Happy birthday @reesewitherspoon!"

Cheryl Strayed, the author who Witherspoon portrayed in the 2014 film Wild, wrote on Instagram, "Happy birthday to this glorious woman! I love you wildly, dear @reesewitherspoon and I'm so grateful for the light you shine in my life and so many lives."

Alyssa Milano, who was in 1996's Fear with Witherspoon, honored the actress with a throwback photo. "Happy Birthday to this magical unicorn. Love you, lady! You continue to inspire me all these years later. So grateful there is you," wrote Milano, 50, as Witherspoon responded on her Instagram Story: "What a throwback!! love you."

During a 2021 InStyle interview with Gayle King, Witherspoon explained that with age she has realized nothing is more important than family time. The star is married to husband Jim Toth and has three kids: daughter Ava, 23, and sons Deacon, 19, and Tennessee, 10.

"More time with people I love. I'm 45. I know who I want to spend time with and who I don't," she said at the time. "And that is one of the great things about getting older — it just clears out so much space. I want to be with my mom, my kids, and the people who fill my tank. And everybody else, I wish them well."
