The post included a photo of the \"Big Little Lies\" actress and Phillippe in all-black looks enjoying some mother-daughter time at a cafe, a throwback photo of them from when Phillippe was a baby and a portrait of Phillippe holding a flower.

Phillippe took to the comments of her mom's post, writing simply, \"Love you mama.\"

Witherspoon shares her daughter and son Deacon Phillippe, 20, with ex-husband and fellow \"Cruel Intentions\" alum Ryan Phillippe. She is also mom to son Tennessee, 11, whom she shares with ex-husband Jim Toth.
