Did Jim Toth’s Mid-Life Crisis Cause His Split With Reese Witherspoon?
An Unexpected Announcement
Reese Witherspoon and her husband Jim Toth shocked the world when they announced that they were separating. The couple, seen as a Hollywood power couple, had been together for 12 years and share a son named Tennessee. Toth has also helped co-parent Witherspoon’s two children from her previous marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe.
Witherspoon’s Official Announcement
The actress broke the news via Instagram, in a heartfelt statement published on September 14, amid the promotion of her book “Whiskey in a Teacup.” “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.
“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.
“These matters are never easy and are extremely personal. We truly appreciate everyone’s respect for our family’s privacy at this time,” she wrote.
The Cause of Their Split
Originally, a source close to the couple, told PageSix that there was nothing dramatic behind the split, just “two people who essentially became co-parents and don’t really have any romantic feelings for each other anymore.” However, new developments suggest that Toth’s changing behavior might be a contributing factor.
An insider told The Sun that the reason for their split was actually because of Toth’s changing personality, “Jim just isn’t the guy Reese married and had a son with anymore”. “His personality, his attitude and his whole take on life really changed when he got out of the agency business and decided he was tired of that stuffy world and being in the service business in general”, the source revealed.
The source also said “Call it a midlife crisis if you want, but that’s when the tattoos, the chunky, weird jewelry, and dressing like somebody half his age really took hold.”
The End of an Era
It’s unfortunate that such a loving couple that’s been together for over a decade has decided to end things. Witherspoon and Toth’s split, however, seems to be a peaceful one, and they have kept the well-being of their family as their top priority.
