Reese Witherspoon - 1

It appears that Reese Witherspoon and Oliver Haarmann may have taken things to the next level. After being seen together on September 4 in New York City for an Assouline opening event, multiple sources exclusively confirmed to People that the pair are no longer just friends — they’re dating . The 48-year-old actress and the private-equity financier were spotted holding hands while walking city streets for at least their second visit there in a little over a month.

One source said it was a ‘casual’ thing.

One person didn’t confirm the dating rumors. “They’re friends and it’s just casual,” the insider told People . Reps for the actress hadn’t replied to the magazine’s request for comment, and neither Reese nor Oliver has publicly confirmed the status of their relationship.

But multiple sources say they’re dating.

However, multiple sources did tell People that the two are dating. According to one person, Reese is “taking things slow when it comes to dating” for a specific reason. “She enjoys it but doesn’t want it to be a big focus. She’s busy with work and her son. These are her biggest priorities.”

Reese got divorced in March 2023.

She was also married before that relationship.
