In a post on her Instagram Stories, the 21-year-old shared the article from the Wall Street Journal and wrote: "Endlessly proud of my mama & the Hello Sunshine team!"

She also added a sticker of some fire that said: "Hell yes!"

Reese shares her daughter and son Deacon, 17, with her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. Reese and Ryan met at her 21st birthday party, and got married in 1999. However, in 2006 they announced their separation.

Reese also has another son, Tennessee, who she shares with husband Jim Toth.

Hello Sunshine has been bought by a new venture between private equity giant Blackstone Group, and former Disney execs Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs; it is thought that the Oscar winning actress and Hello Sunshine CEO Sarah Harden will join the yet-unnamed new company board.
