WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Never Have I Ever.
Who plays Parker in Never Have I Ever season 3?
A lot has changed in Never Have I Ever with a new love interest for Devi (played by Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) to consider.
This time, it’s Des (Anirudh Pisharody) the son of her mum Nalini’s (Poorna Jagannathan) new friend who Devi meets at a party.
Through Des, she meets his friend Parker (Deacon Phillippe) who is also a member of her school’s rival debate team.
While Parker made a lasting impression, it is no surprise as talent clearly runs in the family.
Phillippe is the 18-year-old son of actress and producer Reese Witherspoon who has famously starred in Legally Blonde, Little Fires Everywhere, Walk the Line and Big Little Lies.
She is also the founder of the production company Hello Sunshine which is behind the likes of films Gone Girl and Wild.
Phillippe’s dad is Witherspoon’s ex-husband and Cruel Intentions co-star Ryan Phillippe.
He is best known for playing Billy Douglas in One Life to Live and appearing in various films like 54 and I Know What You Did Last Summer.

“I love watching you create music and putting your thoughts/heart/ideas into the world.”
