Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth to Divorce After 11 Years of Marriage
After almost twelve years of marriage, Reese Witherspoon and her husband, former CAA agent Jim Toth, have announced that they are getting a divorce. The couple posted a joint statement on Instagram saying that the decision was made with "great care and consideration" and that they are "moving forward with deep love, kindness and mutual respect." Witherspoon and Toth got married in March 2011 and have a ten-year-old son together named Tennessee James. Witherspoon also has two children from her previous marriage to Ryan Phillippe, Ava and Deacon.
Witherspoon and Toth met while he was a talent agent at Creative Artists Agency, where Witherspoon is a client. Toth left CAA in 2019 to join now-defunct streaming service Quibi. The couple has mostly kept their relationship private, but they were involved in a scandal in 2013 when they were arrested and briefly jailed in Atlanta, Georgia. Toth was pulled over under suspicion of driving while intoxicated, and Witherspoon was arrested for disorderly conduct. She pleaded no-contest and was required to pay court charges, while Toth pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor DUI and was ordered to complete community service and an alcohol education program in addition to paying a fine.
In recent years, Witherspoon has become a highly sought-after producer through her production company, Hello Sunshine. The company has produced several successful films and TV series, including "Gone Girl," "Big Little Lies," "The Morning Show," "Daisy Jones & the Six," and "Your Place or Mine," a romantic comedy starring Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. In 2021, Witherspoon sold part of Hello Sunshine to Candle Media, a company backed by Blackstone, for $900 million.
Despite the difficult decision to divorce, Witherspoon and Toth are committed to putting their family first and navigating this next chapter of their lives with love and respect for each other.
Reese Witherspoon and her husband Jim Toth have announced their decision to divorce after being married for almost 12 years. The couple released a joint statement on Instagram, stating that they have made the difficult decision to separate with "deep love, kindness, and mutual respect" for each other. Their top priority, they said, is their 10-year-old son, Tennessee James, and their family as a whole. Witherspoon and Toth got married in March 2011 and were set to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary on Sunday.
Toth, a former agent at Creative Artists Agency, met Witherspoon through his work, as she was a client of the agency. The couple has always kept their relationship relatively private, but in 2013 they made headlines when they were arrested in Atlanta, Georgia. Toth was pulled over on suspicion of driving under the influence and faced a DUI charge, while Witherspoon was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge. They both paid fines and completed community service.
Despite this setback, Witherspoon has continued to thrive professionally. She has become one of the most sought-after producers in Hollywood, thanks to her production company, Hello Sunshine. The company has produced several critically acclaimed films and television shows, including "Gone Girl," "Big Little Lies," "The Morning Show," "Daisy Jones & the Six," and "Your Place or Mine," a romantic comedy starring Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. In 2021, Witherspoon sold part of Hello Sunshine to Candle Media, a company backed by Blackstone, for $900 million.
The decision to divorce is never easy, and the couple has requested privacy during this time. However, they have both expressed their commitment to co-parenting their son and to maintaining a positive relationship as they move forward.
