Reese Witherspoon and Oliver Haarmann are no longer just friends.
People revealed today that the actress and the financier have moved beyond friendship. After being seen together twice, first at an Assouline event, and then a month later, their relationship has evolved. There’s a photo of Reese in a black dress and Oliver in khakis with a blue shirt, looking very much like someone who works in finance.
Though Reese hasn’t said anything about this new romance, insiders claim it’s “casual.”
“They’re just friends taking it easy,” one source mentioned.
Oliver co-owns the New York Islanders and helped start Searchlight Capital. Reese’s marriage to Jim Toth lasted almost 12 years before they split in March 2023.
Recently, they dined at L’Artusi in West Village and even took a helicopter into the city. At the end of July, sources said Reese was “going slow with dating” and that she and Oliver were “friends.”

“She likes it but doesn’t want dating to be her main focus,” shared a source. “Her work and her son come first.” 💼
Reese talked about how her split from Jim was different from her breakup with Ryan Phillippe because she’s older now and can share her story her own way without feeling pressured by others.
“It feels real to talk about my life directly, just like I do with my work,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I can’t control rumors but I can be honest and open.”
Fans think it’s nice when celebrities share their true feelings.
