Reese Witherspoon has some big plans for the big 5-0!
The actress, who will turn 50 on March 22, revealed in a new interview with Harper's Bazaar, published on Sunday, Nov. 2, that she will celebrate the milestone birthday in a special way.
Witherspoon and her 13-year-old child, Tennessee — whom she shares with ex-husband Jim Toth — are taking a mother-son trip to Europe together.
"It's just me and him — I'm excited about it! I'm off to visit friends in Italy, kind of tootling around a little bit," she told the outlet.
As for how she feels about entering a new decade, the Big Little Lies star said she's embracing the moment.
"I like getting older," she reflected. "I think it's great to be wiser and understand your place in a business. I've worked really hard to get to that place… I feel like I'm living my purpose, for sure. I love my job. I love my fans. I'm the captain of my own destiny."

During her conversation with Harper's Bazaar, Witherspoon also opened up about the experience of being a young mom and struggling with depression after the 1999 birth of her daughter Ava Phillippe, 26, whom she shares with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, along with son Deacon Phillippe, 22.
"It was really bad," she recalled. "In the first six months, I was simultaneously happy and depressed. I just cried all the time, I was up all night, I was exhausted. It was a hormone drop I didn't expect, which I experienced right after birth and again when I stopped nursing six months later."
"Everyone has an opinion," she continued. "It's hard being a young mom and having people tell you how to be, how to react, how to give birth, how to nurse and how to feed your baby. It's inundating."

In an appearance on The Interview podcast on Sept. 20, Witherspoon spoke about how her parenting approach changed with son Tennessee. She said she does things a bit differently this time around because she's "exhausted" from parenting for more than 25 years.
"I'm completely wrung-out and tired," she said.
Witherspoon explained that sometimes this exhaustion manifests in her redirecting Tennessee to his older siblings.

"Whenever I lose my cool," she said, "I turn to my youngest and I go, 'You got to call your brother and sister. They wore me out. I'm so tired. Like, eat the cookie. Go to bed late. Just do it, you know, but like, think about how it's going to make you feel.' "
"And then like beyond that, I'm so tired," the Morning Show star added. "I've been parenting for 25 years."
