There was no sign of the man she is rumored to be dating.  

Reese is reportedly in no rush to enter a new relationship following her split from Jim Toth, last year, after 12 years of marriage.

After recently sparking romance rumors with Haarmann, a source revealed to People that the star is not prioritizing dating, at the moment. 

The insider divulged that the Oscar winner 'is taking things slow when it comes to dating.' 

'She enjoys it but doesn't want it to be a big focus. She's busy with work and her son,' the insider noted. 'These are her biggest priorities.'

Although the source insisted that Witherspoon and Haarmann, 56, are just 'friends,' the pair recently found themselves at the center of unexpected dating rumors.

In photo, obtained by DailyMail.com earlier this week, the actress and Haarmann were seen arriving at a heliport together before heading to an apartment building on July 29. 

The next day, they dined at L'Artusi in the West Village together. 

Earlier in the week, she enjoyed some quality time with Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz in the Hamptons.

Witherspoon is reportedly in no rush to enter a new relationship following her split from Jim Toth, last year, after 12 years of marriage

The Morning Show actress and her ex-husband, 54, shocked fans in March 2023 when they announced they had separated and were getting a divorce after nearly 12 years of marriage.

The actress officially filed for divorce from Toth in April 2023, a week after announcing the end of their marriage. She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason behind their split in court documents. 

Reese and her ex Jim were first romantically linked in 2010, before they became engaged later that same year in December.

The former couple tied the knot during a romantic and intimate backyard wedding in 2011.

Their split announcement was made just days ahead of their 12th wedding anniversary. 

Back in August, the pair reached a divorce settlement and agreed to continue to co-parent their 11-year-old son, Tennessee.

Reese also shares son Deacon, 20, and look-alike daughter Ava, 24, with her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, 49.

An insider told People about the split that it was 'very difficult' for the movie star to accept that she and her former partner were 'two very different people.'

Someone close to the two noted that the ambitious producer 'has her hand in a lot of pots' and Toth 'prefers less frenzy.'

It was added that, 'They've been spending less and less time together while she was working.'

More than ten years after tying the knot, the longtime duo 'found themselves with fewer interests in common.'

Reese is described by a source as 'headstrong and focused' and Jim is said to be 'more laid-back.'

The Pleasantville actress spent more time in Nashville In 2022 as she worked on producing the Apple TV music competition show My Kind of Country.

She also flipped a local house for close to twice the cost of what she paid for the home.

The mother-of-three's company Hello Sunshine also produced the Amazon series Daisy Jones & the Six.

Per Reese's solemn divorce announcement, the twosome decided to go their separate ways with 'a great deal of care and consideration.'

A source said the partners 'worked on' their issues and arriving at divorce 'took a long time.'

A source previously told PageSix that the imminent divorce was a 'badly kept secret' in Hollywood for months.

It was also shared that Reese is 'upset' over the marriage ending.

The Big Little Lies actress and the talent agent's split announcement read: '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.

'Our biggest priority is our son and our entire family as we navigate this next chapter.

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

But there is no mess: 'There is no drama,' insisted People's insider. 'They love [their son] Tennessee and this is their focus. They will continue to co-parent amicably.'

Amid Witherspoon's new romance, Phillippe shared a shirtless thirst trap

Reese recently discussed her first divorce from Cruel Intentions co-star Ryan Phillippe.

Speaking to Harper's Bazaar in July, Reese said she felt very 'out of control' when her first divorce went public.

'When I was divorced before, the tabloid media got to tell people how I was feeling or how I was processing, and it felt very out of control,' Reese told the publication.

But this go around, the Hollywood star feels that she's able to be more 'authentic' as she navigates this 'vulnerable time' in her life.

'To be able to talk to people directly about what's going on in my life and just share it in the way that I share great professional experiences or personal experiences, it feels much more authentic to be able to say things in my own voice and not let somebody else control what's happening,' Reese explained.

Despite going through a divorce a source close to The Last Thing He Told Me producer told People in April that she has 'no regrets' about ending the union and is 'doing much better now.'
