Hollywood power couple Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth have announced their divorce after over a decade of marriage. The couple, who have been together for almost 12 years and have one son, shared a joint statement on Witherspoon’s Instagram account on Friday, March 24, revealing their decision to end their marriage.
Why Is Reese Witherspoon Getting Divorced
In their statement, the former couple said that they have made the difficult decision to divorce but are moving forward with deep love, kindness, and mutual respect for everything they have created together. The couple’s 10-year-old son, Tennessee, is their top priority.
While the reason for the split is reportedly not related to any particular drama, sources close to the couple say that personality differences and Witherspoon’s busy schedule may have been contributing factors. Witherspoon, who is always on the move, is said to have bounced off the walls, while Toth is a more placid person. The couple had reportedly been living separate lives before they decided to end their marriage.
According to a report by RadarOnline.com, the former couple could go days without interacting, and when they did, it was usually about their son. “Jim is hardly ever with her,” said an insider.
Another source said that the couple’s marriage had become platonic. “There’s no big scandal or drama, just two people who essentially became co-parents and don’t really have any romantic feelings for each other anymore,” the source explained. “There’s zero spark and zero romance left.”
Despite the split, the former couple worked together on Witherspoon’s media business, Hello Sunshine, which sold in 2021 at a reported valuation of $900 million. Another source said that the couple had built a lot together but that their lives had moved in a way that made them want to make this decision together.
Witherspoon was previously married to actor Ryan Phillippe, with whom she shares two children. Their marriage ended in divorce in 2008, and they have successfully co-parented their children since then. Witherspoon and Toth also expect to be able to co-parent their son successfully.
