Reese Witherspoon's son Deacon Phillippe recently gave a tour of his lush NYC apartment - and people have a lot to say.

Deacon is one of two kids Reese shares with her ex husband and fellow actor, Ryan Phillippe.

The exes also share Ava, 24, who has often been hailed as her mom's 'twin'.

While Ava is a model, Deacon is currently studying music at New York University (NYU).

As he studies there, the 20-year-old resides in New York City and has a flat share in the West Village with friends.

TikTok star Caleb Simpson recently 'bumped into him' in the street (or more likely set up a meeting with him), and asked to be shown around his home.

He asked the budding musician what he pays for his apartment, and Deacon simply replied: "West Village prices, man."

He then proceeded to give Caleb a tour of his apartment, which boasts an impressive spiral staircase in the center of the room.

While it looks pretty cool, Deacon admitted that it's 'a little sketchy' on late nights as you can easily hit your head on it.

Caleb's briefly introduced to his roommates before the NYU student proudly shows off his vinyl wall in the living room.

Then, in Deacon's suspiciously tidy bedroom, he shows off his music equipment.

After this, he bravely shows the bathroom and, despite a towel on the floor, it looks quite clean for an apartment full of boys.

In light of Deacon having famous parents, people on TikTok have been quick to presume that his celebrity mom and dad pay for his rent.

According to Zumper, as of this month, the the average rent for a three bedroom apartment in West Village is $6,995 a month.

Yikes.

"Lol crying about west village prices but both parents are famous actors," said one person.

"The question should have been, how much do your famous parents pay for rent in NY," added another.

A third chimed in: "Rich kids / nepo babies LOVE to avoid mentioning their extremely wealthy parents."

"Ya not just a student also a nepo baby!" said another, but they did go on to admit that Deacon still seems to be 'down to Earth'.

While he didn't mention his mom in the video, it didn't take long for people to workout who he was as, like his sister, he is the mirror image of the Big Little Lies star.

"He looks just like his mom," someone said. "I knew just by looking at him."
