We’ve reached the end of the romantic line for Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth.
On Friday, the Oscar-winning actress and her husband confirmed they were ending their marriage, announcing the sad news in a joint statement … just days before their 12-year wedding anniversary.
“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,” the estranged couple said.
“We have enjoyed many wonderful years and moved forward with deep love, kindness and mutual respect for everything we have created together.”
On to the now-former couple:
“Our biggest priority is our son and our entire family as we navigate our next chapter.
“This is not an easy matter and it is very personal. We really appreciate everyone’s privacy for our family at this time.
Witherspoon and Toth are parents to 10-year-old son Tennessee.
(Witherspoon also shares daughter Ava, 23, and son Deacon, 19, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.)
As for what brings the conclusion of this union?
“No drama, no show or reason,” E! News insider said.
“They’re the only two people who have made this decision with love and respect and love for their child. You’ll see them in there parenting together.”
Witherspoon and Toth met at a friend’s house in 2010.
“It happened out of the blue,” recalled the star in a 2012 interview with ELLE.
“This really drunk person hit me, made me look stupid, shouted at me. He’s like, [slurring, scowling, pointing finger in her face] ‘You don’t know me.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I know. I don’t know you!’
“Jim came over and said, ‘I’m sorry my friend. She just broke up with someone else.'”
He continued again:
“Jim was a great friend, pulled him out of that situation. That’s just a great guy.”
Witherspoon was famously married to Phillippe from June 1999 to June 2008.
About a year ago at this time, things seemed to be going pretty well between Witherspoon and Toth.
The former marked their 11th wedding anniversary last year on Instagram, writing at the time:
“Happy Anniversary JT!! 11 years of adventure, love and laughter. I feel lucky to be able to share this wonderful life with you.
Alas, it was then. And now that has changed.
We wish both Witherspoon and Toth nothing but the best.
