Is Reese Witherspoon married?

Reese Witherspoon is not currently married. She finalised her divorce from Jim Toth in 2023 and has not remarried since. The famous actress is currently in a relationship with German financier Oliver Haarmann, whom she has been dating since 2024.

A source recently shared with Us Weekly that Reese is reportedly enjoying the relationship and feels no pressure to remarry after her previous divorces. The insider told the outlet:

It’s going well, but she is super private about it, as she has always been. She wants a partner but isn’t really looking for marriage again.

According to The News International, another source told the Star:

Reese is very happy with Oliver, but she’s not interested in rushing into another marriage. The younger version of Reese would likely have felt differently, but at this stage of her life, her priority is feeling content and fulfilled in the relationship. She doesn’t need a piece of paper,

Inside Reese Witherspoon’s dating history

Reese Witherspoon’s love life has often made headlines alongside her Hollywood career. The actress has had high-profile relationships, including two marriages and prominent romances with A-list actors. Below is a closer look at Reese Witherspoon’s relationship history.

Jeremy Sisto (1992)

• Full name: Jeremy Merton Sisto
• Date of birth: 6 October 1974
• Age: 51 years old (as of 2026)
• Place of birth: Grass Valley, California, United States
• Profession: Actor

Jeremy Sisto and Reese Witherspoon had a brief teenage romance in 1992 after meeting on the set of the television movie Desperate Choices: To Save My Child. At the time, Reese was about 16 years old, and Jeremy was 17.

The relationship ended due to miscommunication when Reese went to film A Far Off Place in Africa in 1993, and they lost regular contact. Jeremy assumed the relationship was over and moved on, but later realised it was a misunderstanding when she returned.

In a Reddit AMA in 2015, the actor explained how the relationship started and why it ended unexpectedly:

She was my first actress girlfriend. We had a long-distance relationship for a long time. I was so into her. Then she went to Africa to do a movie, and I guess I thought she had broken up with me because she didn’t call that much, so I moved on and met my ex-wife, Marisa. When she returned, I found out that wasn’t her intention, but I had already gotten involved. Felt badly. She’s a great person.

Chris O’Donnell (1993)

• Full name: Christopher Eugene O’Donnell
• Date of birth: 26 June 1970
• Age: 55 years old (as of 2026)
• Place of birth: Winnetka, Illinois, United States
• Profession: Actor

According to Rolling Stone, Chris O’Donnell and Reese Witherspoon dated briefly in 1992. They were first seen together in early 1993 after appearing together at a tribute party for his Scent of a Woman costar Al Pacino in February 1993. At the time, Reese was a 16-year-old rising actress, while Chris was 22 and gaining attention in Hollywood.

Reese reportedly travelled from Nashville to New York City to attend the event, where she appeared as Chris’s date. However, neither Reese nor Chris ever confirmed a relationship.

Ryan Phillippe (1997 – 2007)

• Full name: Matthew Ryan Phillippe
• Date of birth: 10 September 1974
• Age: 51 years old (as of 2026)
• Place of birth: New Castle, Delaware, United States
• Profession: Actor

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe were in a relationship from 1997 to 2007. The two met in March 1997 at Reese’s 21st birthday party. According to Us Weekly, Witherspoon admitted to Jane magazine in 1998 that she told Phillippe:

I don’t know what came over me — maybe the seven Midori sours — but I told [Ryan], ‘I think you’re my birthday present.’ He thought it was so flattering, and now that I think about it … how embarrassing!

The pair began dating soon afterwards and reunited on screen in the 1999 teen drama Cruel Intentions. During filming, they became engaged and married on 5 June 1999, in South Carolina. The couple welcomed two children, Ava in 1999 and Deacon in 2003.

Over time, however, the pressures of fame and personal challenges strained the marriage. They announced their separation in October 2006, and their divorce was finalised in June 2008. Reese and Ryan later reflected that marrying at a young age contributed to their split. During an interview on the ITV show Lorraine, Witherspoon said:

I got married when I was 23, and I had two kids by the time I was 27. So, I think, I don’t know. Sometimes it’s good to know yourself. I would never change anything. I said to my daughter, 25 you start to know yourself a little bit better.

Despite the end of their marriage, Reese and Ryan have maintained a positive co-parenting relationship.

Jake Gyllenhaal (2007 – 2009)

• Place of birth: Los Angeles, California, United States
• Profession: Actor

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal dated for about two years, from 2007 to 2009. According to People magazine, they first met while filming the 2007 political thriller Rendition, though their romance did not begin immediately. After reconnecting during reshoots in Los Angeles, they started dating in early 2007.

Despite being major Hollywood stars, the couple kept their relationship relatively private and enjoyed a low-key lifestyle away from the spotlight. However, the relationship ended in November 2009 as the two found themselves at different stages in life.

Jake was ready for marriage, while Reese was still healing from her painful public divorce from Ryan Phillippe. The two have remained on excellent terms since their breakup. They were spotted sharing a friendly hug at the Golden Globe Awards a few years later.

As reported by Elle magazine, the couple met at a friend’s house party in early 2010, where Jim, a Hollywood talent agent, made a strong first impression by stepping in to help Reese during an uncomfortable situation.

They soon began dating and became engaged later that year. Reese and Toth tied the knot on 26 March 2011, at Reese’s ranch in Ojai, California. Jim became a stepfather to Reese’s children, Ava and Deacon, and the couple welcomed their son, Tennessee James Toth, in September 2012.

During their marriage, Jim supported Reese’s career growth, and together they helped build the media company Hello Sunshine. In March 2023, they announced their divorce, saying they had grown apart over time. The divorce was finalised in August 2023, and they continue to co-parent their son.

In September 2024, sources confirmed to People magazine that the two were officially dating, with Reese splitting her time between Nashville and New York to see him. In 2024, a source told People:

Reese is doing great and enjoys dating. She often flies between Nashville and New York City to see him. He’s spending time with her kids, too. Reese loves that he’s a businessman and not into Hollywood.
