Reese Witherspoon’s Real Relationships With Exes Ryan Phillippe and Jim Toth, Revealed

Reese Witherspoon just turned 50 and seems to have quietly mastered one of Hollywood 's trickiest balancing acts: staying on good terms with not one, but two ex-husbands, while raising three kids, building a monster career, and avoiding the whole red carpet hamster wheel. Honestly, it is impressive.

Where things stand with Ryan Phillippe

Reese and Ryan Phillippe were married from June 1999 until October 2007. They share two kids: Ava (26) and Deacon (22). A source tells Us Weekly the two are still close and have stayed friends while co-parenting. The vibe is supportive across the board, especially when it comes to their kids working in entertainment.

Still friendly with Jim Toth, too

Reese also remains tight with her second ex-husband, former talent agent Jim Toth. They were married from March 2011 to August 2023 and share son Tennessee (13). Another insider says the post-divorce situation is very calm and very adult.

'They are good friends and talk every day. They collaborate and coparent and are completely amicable with no bad blood.'

Nashville over Hollywood, by design

Since splitting from Toth, the Oscar- winning Walk the Line star and Big Little Lies lead has been living in Nashville full-time and barely pops into Los Angeles. That tracks with how she grew up: Reese was born in New Orleans and moved to Nashville as a kid, and she is leaning back into that slower, quieter routine. Translation: the home base stays calm, the work stays chaotic, and that balance keeps her happy. She has never exactly been a staples-at-every-gala person anyway, and when she is off the clock, she prefers to keep things low-key.

The kids: what everyone is up to

• Ava Phillippe, 26: UC Berkeley grad who started in modeling, then pivoted to acting last year. She has appeared in TV shows Doctor Odyssey and Ransom Canyon.
• Deacon Phillippe, 22: Studying music at NYU and acting on the side, with roles in Never Have I Ever and Motorheads.
• Tennessee Toth, 13: Middle school life, as you might guess. Both parents are described as all-in on whatever their kids want to pursue.

Dating update

Legally single but not exactly single-single: Reese has been seeing financier Oliver Haarmann since mid-2024. It is going well, according to the insiders, but she is keeping it private. She wants a partner; she is not racing back to the altar.

By the way, happy 50th

Reese hit the big 5-0 on March 22. Not a bad place to be: friendly with Ryan (51), amicable with Jim, kids thriving, and a life that looks a lot more Nashville porch than Hollywood step-and-repeat.

Note: Per the original report, the outlet says they reached out to reps for Witherspoon and Phillippe for comment.
