“Deacon really turned me on to Tyler the Creator. He loves Kanye [West] too. He loves Ariana Grande,” the Morning Show star, who tackles “Break Free” in the movie, said.

Witherspoon then called in Ava to help her answer the question about musicians her kids have introduced her to.

Holly Humberstone has been great. And Gracie Abrams,” Ava replied before confirming her mother has good taste in music. “I would say so, yes.”

Witherspoon also cited Kacey Musgraves when asked about favorite Christmas specials, telling the outlet about their family traditions during the holiday season:: “Just sitting around the house, light a fire, we watch Christmas specials and bake cookies, make gingerbread houses.”

The Legally Blonde star was married to Phillippe from 1999 to 2006. Their divorce was finalized in 2008. More than a decade later, a source told Us Weekly that their coparenting relationship has “never been better.”

“Ryan has been an awesome parent … and everything pretty much stops for him when his kids need him,” the source told Us earlier this month. “Even during the pandemic when he’s been in literally another country, he’s present in their lives and he is still the ‘cool parent’ in their eyes. … He is really proud of who they’ve become.”

The source added that Phillippe and Toth, whom Witherspoon married in 2011, “fill different roles in [Ava and Deacon’s] lives.”
