Reese Witherspoon Deemed ‘Too Skinny’ after Divorce — It’s Not the 1st Time Her Appearance Changed through the Years
|Acclaimed actress Reese Witherspoon is freshly divorced. In the aftermath of her split from her husband of 12 years, she faced criticism over her appearance after a photo of her taking a walk alongside Nicole Kidman surfaced. But it will not be the first time Witherspoon has changed her appearance, as her transformation has been evident over the years.
It is the end of the road for Reese Witherspoon and her husband, Jim Toth, after Witherspoon filed for divorce in March 2023. The pair announced their split two days before celebrating their 12th wedding anniversary.
The “Just Like Heaven” star and her beau tied the knot in March 2011 at Witherspoon’s ranch in Ojai, California, and share a son, 10-year-old Tennessee. Following their split, the two will focus on raising their son after Witherspoon requested the courts for joint custody during the divorce filings.
The news came as a shock to fans, but those who were close to the pair say it was not as surprising. According to a source, there had been tell-tale signs of their split for a while, and their divorce announcement only confirmed what most people close to them already knew was an eventuality.
The source revealed that since 2021, the pair had been itching for lives apart from each other because they both wanted different things for their lives. It was a matter of when not if.
Despite the “Sweet Home Alabama” actress and her husband running a successful business together, they could not make their marriage work. A source revealed that the pair sold their company Hello Sunshine in 2021 for almost a billion dollars, and while the money was cause for celebration, it also sent them in different directions.
By the time they were filing for divorce, the source says they could not agree on anything except being dedicated parents to their son. The only common ground remained to raise their son, Tennessee.
And while the pair drifting apart was the primary cause for their split, it all resulted from numerous reasons. According to The Sun, Toth’s career change from the agency business may have partially informed their decision to go separate ways. A former agent, Toth quit his job at Hollywood Powerhouse CAA, choosing instead to become an investor.
He then became the advisor and investor in Hello Sunshine, and upon its sale, which gave the couple more money than they knew what to do with, he wanted to search for greener pastures. The source said:
“He’s wanted this for a long time.”
On the other hand, Witherspoon has always been ambitious and has had an unprecedented focus on her job. And even though she loves being a huge part of her business and her career, the serious business meetings were never Toth’s cup of tea. Over time, he allegedly got tired of the Hollywood rat race and was looking to venture into other things.
Ultimately, the only plausible decision was to go separate ways and do their own things, and a divorce was the right choice for them. The Sun reports:
“They’ve been heading in different directions for a couple of years now, and a divorce simply makes that official.”
Despite divorcing amicably, the aftermath has not been easy, and Witherspoon has recently found herself on the receiving end of fans’ criticism. On May...
