Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth announce plans to divorce

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Reese Witherspoon and her husband announce they are divorcing after nearly 12 years of marriage.

The actress-producer and her husband, Hollywood agent Jim Toth, announced their split on Friday in a joint statement on Instagram. Their wedding anniversary is Sunday.

“It is with great care and consideration that we have made the difficult decision to divorce,” the post said. “We have had so many wonderful years together and move forward with deep love, kindness and mutual respect for all that we have created together.”

Witherspoon and Toth have a son together and they said he remains their highest priority, asking for privacy.

The authenticity of the statement has been confirmed by a representative for Witherspoon. No divorce filings could be found in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Witherspoon was previously married to actor Ryan Phillippe, with whom she has two children.
