Witherspoon and Tothconfirmed they were going their separate ways in March, saying in a statement that the decision had been a “difficult” one made with a “great deal of care and consideration.”
“We have enjoyed so many wonderful years together and are moving forward with deep love, kindness and mutual respect for everything we have created together,” the statement continued.

Witherspoon, 47, who was also married to Ryan Philippe between 1999 and 2008,recently opened upabout her divorce to Toth, 52, inHarper’s Bazaar,calling it a “vulnerable time.”
“When I was divorced before, the tabloid media got to tell people how I was feeling or how I was processing, and it felt very out of control,” she told the magazine.
“To be able to talk to people directly about what’s going on in my life and just share it in the way that I share great professional experiences or personal experiences, it feels much more authentic to be able to say things in my own voice and not let somebody else control what’s happening.”
Toth, who left his role as an agent at CAA to join the helm at the now-shuttered Quibi, and later served on the board of Witherspoon’s companies Draper James and Hello Sunshine, shares custody of their son Tennessee, 10, with his ex.

“Our biggest priority is our son and our entire family as we navigate this next chapter,” they added in their statement. “These matters are never easy and are extremely personal. We truly appreciate everyone’s respect for our family’s privacy at this time.”
She toldHarper’s Bazaarthatshe’s found peace with where she’s at now.
“It’s a liberation in your 40s to feel free of other people’s opinions,” said Witherspoon. “I mean, they’re always there. They just don’t matter as much to you, and it’s a great feeling.”
