Actress Reese Witherspoon and financier Oliver Haarmann were recently seen together in New York City, sparking rumors of a possible romance. The pair arrived in the city via helicopter and were photographed dining at L’Artusi in the West Village. However, a source clarified that Witherspoon and Haarmann are just friends.
Witherspoon, 48, announced her split from husband Jim Toth in March 2023, while Haarmann, 56, is fresh off a divorce from Mala Gaonkar. Despite being seen on several dates, Witherspoon is reportedly taking things slow in the dating department, prioritizing her work and her son.
Although the rumored couple has been spotted on outings, they are not rushing into anything serious. Witherspoon, who has not publicly dated anyone since her divorce, is focused on her family. Haarmann, on the other hand, was seen with a mystery woman post his split.
Insiders have revealed that Witherspoon's marriage to Toth had lost its romantic spark over the years, leading to an amicable split. The former couple remains dedicated to co-parenting their 11-year-old son, Tennessee. Witherspoon also shares two children with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, with whom she has maintained a cordial relationship.
Despite their respective pasts, Witherspoon and Haarmann's recent outings have stirred speculation among fans and the media. While the actress is navigating her post-divorce life, Haarmann is also adjusting to his new chapter after his marriage ended. Only time will tell if their friendship evolves into something more.
