Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth Parted Ways Shortly Before 12th Anniversary: “Next Chapter”

Reese Witherspoon, 47, and Jim Toth, 52, surprised everyone announcing their breakup after almost 12 years of marriage. The couple, who share a son together, say they will remain the “best of friends.” And a close source is claiming to know the reason behind the split of one of Hollywood’s most adorable couples.

They decided to “move forward with deep love.”

The Oscar-winning actress and her husband, who is a talent agent, have posted a joint statement on Instagram announcing that they will be parting ways. They started by saying, “We have some personal news to share... It is with a great deal of care and consideration that we have made the difficult decision to divorce.”

The couple went on explaining that they have lived “so many wonderful years together” and that they have decided to move forward “with deep love, kindness, and mutual respect for everything we have created together.”

Witherspoon and Toth noted that their “biggest priority” is their 10-year-old son as well and their entire family as they go through this “next chapter.” They concluded the message by stating, “These matters are never easy and are extremely personal. We truly appreciate everyone’s respect for our family’s privacy at this time.”

They are remaining close friends.

A source close to the couple has disclosed that they are “the best of friends” and the divorce is “such an amicable decision.”

It went on sharing that the couple is “committed to co-parenting together,” adding that they are “invested in their whole family and making this as smooth as possible for everyone.”

They shared a strong connection.

The actress met Jim at a friend’s house a little while after she had split from her boyfriend, actor Jake Gyllenhaal. She described the talent agent as a “really good person.”

The star has gushed about her husband on several occasions throughout the years. And a few years ago, she opened up about the qualities she admired most in him, saying, “He’s an incredible man, a wonderful organizer, a great leader.” She added that Toth is “very patient and funny with the kids.” And he helps them “see the humor in life.”

Back in July, just a few months before the news of the split broke, Reese has marked her husband’s birthday on Instagram by writing “Happy birthday to my sweet hubby, JT!” and sharing a series of sweet photos of the couple as well as pics of Jim with their son.

The mother of 3 also celebrated their 11th-anniversary last year with a heartfelt post where she wrote “Happy Anniversary JT!! 💗 11 years of adventures, love & laughter. I feel so lucky to share this wonderful life with you. 💕”

A source claims to know for reason of the split.

According to an alleged friend and colleague who has worked with the couple over the last decade, Jim’s behavior has drastically changed in the past few years.

This source has claimed, “Jim just isn’t the guy Reese married and had a son with anymore,” adding that the talent agent has begun “dressing like someone half his age.”

We are heartbroken that this lovely couple is parting ways, but looking at the bright side we admire that they are doing it amicably and are committed to putting their son’s best interests ahead of everything.
