OSCAR-winning actress Reese Witherspoon announced her divorce from husband Jim Toth after 12 years of marriage. The pair announced it in a joint statement on Friday, days before their 12-year wedding anniversary on Sunday. 

"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," they said.

"We have enjoyed so many wonderful years together and are moving forward with deep love, kindness and mutual respect for everything we have created together." 

"Our biggest priority is our son and our entire family as we navigate this next chapter," they added.

"These matters are never easy and are extremely personal. We truly appreciate everyone's respect for our family's privacy at this time." 

A source close to the family revealed to People magazine that "they really are the best of friends and this is such an amicable decision. They are so committed to co-parenting together."

They are invested in their whole family and making this as smooth as possible for everyone." 

Witherspoon and Toth announced their engagement in December 2010, and they later wed in March 2011 during a laid-back ceremony on her ranch in Ojai, Calif.

They share a 10-year-old son, Tennessee James, and Witherspoon also shares two kids with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe: daughter Ava, 23, and son Deacon, 19. – The Vibes, March 25, 2023
