It’s diploma season for celebrity kids, too.
As graduation approaches, many celebrities are congratulating their children on their achievements. Actress Reese Witherspoon praised her son Deacon, who graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. The pair were all smiles as they shared photos of his big day.
“After 4 years of hard work, long days, endless papers and classes, I worked with some of the best teachers and made new friends,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “I’m so proud of you.”
Kate Hudson’s son Ryder also graduated from New York University. As reported by US Weekly, the “Son Son Bleu” star posted a photo on her Instagram Story posing with alum and former musician Chris Robinson.
Angelina Jolie’s daughter graduates from HBCU
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Zahara graduated from Spelman College in Atlanta with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
A video on social media shows the 21-year-old walking across the stage wearing a black graduation cap and gown, adorned with a blue and white shawl.
While attending a private, historically black university, Zahara crossed paths with Alpha Kappa Alpha, a black sorority. She is one of six children born to Jolie and Pitt, whose divorce was finalized in 2024. Jolie adopted Zahara from Ethiopia in 2005.
