‘We are grateful to Netflix and thrilled to be working with Reese, Lauren, Attica and 3 Arts on this wonderful project,’ she added.
‘Tembi’s memoir is a raw and tender exhibition of life in all its pieces. She brings you into her love, her loss and her resilience with such vulnerability and strength. We immediately fell for Attica and Tembi’s vision and feel honored to have the opportunity to help bring it to life on-screen. We could not imagine more perfect partners for this than Zoe and her sisters and 3 Arts Entertainment, along with the incredible team at Netflix,’ said Witherspoon.

Happy parents: Zoe and her husband, Italian artist Marco Perego, share three sons, including a pair of twins named Cy and Bowie; the family is pictured together in 2018
According to her, prior to the pandemic, she and her husband, Italian artist Marco Perego, barely had time for each other. ‘Until now, we were the “20 minute family” — always running off to school, to karate practice, or to work,’ she told Flaunt Magazine in March.
‘Then suddenly the waters calmed, the music stopped, and the phones stopped ringing. It was very raw and very beautiful,’ she added.
The couple share three children: twins Bowie and Cy, six, and her younger son Zen, four.
Although she is often away on big film sets, Zoe added that she relishes being home with her husband and children in a more old-fashioned maternal role.
‘I want to be home, because that role is becoming more real to me. I’m becoming more passionate about it than any other role I can play.’
