The story goes that single mother of two Reese Witherspoon first met Jim Toth at a mutual friend’s party in January 2010, and the pair quickly became inseparable. In fact, Toth actually rescued Witherspoon from another inebriated man’s advances at the party. “Jim came over and said, ‘Please excuse my friend. He’s just broken up with someone,'” Witherspoon later recalled to Elle. “Jim was a really good friend, pulling him out of that situation. That’s just kind of who he is, a really good person,” she gushed. Fast forward to December 2010, and Witherspoon and Toth were engaged to be married. The couple tied the knot in a private backyard wedding on March 26, 2011, and welcomed a son together, Tennessee James, on September 27, 2012. A whirlwind, indeed.
Even Witherspoon seemed surprised by the turn of events in her personal life. “It’s an exciting feeling. [Somebody saying,] ‘You’re The One,'” she confessed during an interview with Elle UK. “And it’s a surprise. You know, I’m surprised when people who aren’t related to me see my movies. And you’re surprised somebody wants to be with you because, boy, I’ve got a lot of quirks and wrinkles,” she joked.
