<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe news came as a shock to fans, but those who were close to the pair say it was not as surprising. According to a source, there had been tell-tale signs of their split for a while, and their divorce announcement only confirmed what most people close to them already knew was an eventuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The source revealed that since 2021, the pair had been itching for lives apart from each other because they both wanted different things for their lives. It was a matter of when not if.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the \u201cSweet Home Alabama\u201d actress and her husband running a successful business together, they could not make their marriage work. A source revealed that the pair sold their company Hello Sunshine in 2021 for almost a billion dollars, and while the money was cause for celebration, it also sent them in different directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the time they were filing for divorce, the source says they could not agree on anything except being dedicated parents to their son. The only common ground remained to raise their son, Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And while the pair drifting apart was the primary cause for their split, it all resulted from numerous reasons. According to The Sun, Toth\u2019s career change from the agency business may have partially informed their decision to go separate ways. A former agent, Toth quit his job at Hollywood Powerhouse CAA, choosing instead to become an investor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He then became the advisor and investor in Hello Sunshine, and upon its sale, which gave the couple more money than they knew what to do with, he wanted to search for greener pastures. The source said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe\u2019s wanted this for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, Witherspoon has always been ambitious and has had an unprecedented focus on her job. And even though she loves being a huge part of her business and her career, the serious business meetings were never Toth\u2019s cup of tea. Over time, he allegedly got tired of the Hollywood rat race and was looking to venture into other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultimately, the only plausible decision was to go separate ways and do their own things, and a divorce was the right choice for them. The Sun reports:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey\u2019ve been heading in different directions for a couple of years now, and a divorce simply makes that official.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite divorcing amicably, the aftermath has not been easy, and Witherspoon has recently found herself on the receiving end of fans\u2019 criticism. On May 9, The Met Gala Twitter account posted a photo of Witherspoon taking a walk with Nicole Kidman in Nashville, Tennessee. The ensuing reactions almost brought Twitter to a standstill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many fans expressed concern over her looks just two months after her divorce, with many comments under the photo focusing on how skinny she looked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One @MarinaAlencar9 wondered, \u201cOMG! Is Reese ok? She is too skinny.\u201d A second fan felt Witherspoon looked older than her age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another concerned fan @Orhieoghene wrote: \u201cReese Witherspoon looks old, sha. Kai, [sic],\u201d while another noted that Witherspoon and Kidman\u2019s looks were now more appropriate for their age:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey finally look their age.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, this will not be the first time the \u201cYour Place or Mine\u201d star has made a statement change to her looks. Over the years, she has experimented with a few different appearances and has never shied away from looking different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even though some of her transformations resulted from her life circumstances at that moment, such as her pregnancies, she has always embraced the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reese Witherspoon\u2019s Transformation Through the Years In the photo, dated 1987, the actress wore a striped black and white Benetton sweater. She also had a head full of red hair and wore glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It remains uncertain how long she stayed a redhead, but by the time she hit 25 and appeared in \u201cLegally Blonde,\u201d \u2014 a storyline targeting the dumb blonde stereotypes \u2014 she was sporting a blonde look and had gotten rid of the glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, her changes have been more than just hair-related. At 23, she got pregnant with her first child with then-husband Ryan Phillippe and would show off her pregnancy body with beautiful fitting dresses that hugged her figure and showed off her baby bump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By the time she was 27, she already had two children, Ava Elizabeth Phillippe and Deacon Reese Phillippe, and admitted she had much growing up to do. However, she continued landing significant films, and her career was at an all-time high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d and its 2003 sequel became major hits, earning her even more desirable roles such as playing the iconic June Carter in \u201cWalk the Line,\u201d a Johnny Cash biopic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The actress won her first Oscar nomination for the role, eventually winning her first Academy Award. Around the same time, she changed her hair to her natural brunette color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the years, she has continued to change her looks, and despite being a natural brunette, her go-to hair color has always been blonde. She has also made incredible progress in her career, appearing in fan-favorite films and even starting her production company, Hello Sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With that success, she branched out to start a fashion line, Draper James. She continued to feature in successful films, eventually transitioning to TV with her role in \u201cBig Little Lies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout the years, the actress has maintained a beautiful lean, and trim body. And while many mothers struggle to attain their post-baby bodies, Witherspoon seemed to bounce right back months after having her babies. Her dress choices also helped accentuate her beauty and enhance her sleek physique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, she maintains a body that many can only envy, even after having three children. Knowing the work that goes into looking that good, it is safe to say that Witherspoon has it all figured out. She is successful in all aspects of her life; she is beautiful with an enviable body that has not felt the effect of time, and is a prolific actress and businesswoman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, her most important role has been motherhood. With three children shared with her ex-husbands, Witherspoon has been busy. At 47, she is a proud mother to 23-year-old Ava, 19-year-old Deacon, and 10-year-old Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She admits that balancing parenting with her multi-faceted career is challenging, but it is all worth it. Motherhood remains the most rewarding of her journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Jim](\"https:\/\/cdn.amomama.com\/77409f89203c8d026e9a054e7d01c473f467eac892492989371f3ebadb06bb2d.jpg\")

The \u201cBig Little Lies\u201d actress\u2019s transformation has been incredibly notable over the years, beginning when the star was only a pre-teen. In 2021, the actress shared a throwback photo of herself as an 11-year-old, which showed just how far she has come in terms of looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Reese](\"https:\/\/cdn.amomama.com\/7a7db77d00bb302ab5ac2d4ee350429c1fccfdefd1c02ebebd1af59a1b059929.jpg\")
