Reese Witherspoon goes incognito in dark sunglasses and baseball cap for travel day at NYC Airport after visiting son Deacon
Reese Witherspoon spent the past few days with her son, Deacon, in New York City.
The 19-year-old aspiring actor is currently studying at New York University in Manhattan.
The mother and son tandem have been seen walking the bustling streets together, shopping and eating at some of the many mom and pop restaurants the big city has to offer.
It looks like her visit has come to an end as the star of The Morning Show makes her way through one of three airports in the New York area on Friday.
In an obvious attempt to avoid drawing attention to herself, Witherspoon wore dark sunglasses and a black baseball cap over her long blonde locks that flowed down the back and sides well past her shoulders.

Carrying a small carry-on and small orange bag slung over her left arm, the longtime Hollywood leading lady kept it casual in the fashion department for her day of travel, seemingly back home to Los Angeles.
The Academy Award-winning actress stepped out in faded jeans and a dark sweater over a white T-shirt.
In keeping with her casual and comfortable mode for the day, she also donned a pair of white sneakers.
At points, the Walk The Line star could be seen rummaging through her bag looking for a few items before going through the security gates for her flight.
Despite being in the middle of a busy day traveling, Witherspoon (née Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon), 47, took some time off to honor her mother, Mary Elizabeth “Betty” (Reese) Witherspoon, on her 75th birthday.
“Congratulations on the best mother I could have ever dreamed of!” she began in the caption of a photo of the two smiling in a restaurant. “Thank you for always believing in my dreams and encouraging me… and making me smile every day. I love you mother!’
In the photo, the Big Little Lies star appears to be bursting into laughter, decked out in a blue patterned summer dress.
She has her left arm behind her beloved mother, who sits to her left wearing a large brown straw hat and a playful look on her face.

It seems that Reese had solid role models for parents growing up.
Her mother was a professor of nursing at Vanderbilt University and had a doctorate in pediatric nursing.
Her late father, Dr. John Draper Witherspoon, served as a military surgeon and lieutenant in the United States Army Reserve, while also holding private practice as an otolaryngologist, or ENT, a healthcare specialist who treats conditions affecting your ears, nose, and throat.
He passed away in 2019 at the age of 77. Reese paid tribute to him on social media, calling him her “hero” and thanking him for always believing in her, according to My news GH.
The trip back east comes about five months after the actress and ex-husband Jim Toth, 53, announced they had separated and were getting divorced after nearly 12 years of marriage.
