Reese Witherspoon made her red-carpet debut with new boyfriend Oliver Haarmann at the premiere of the Legally Blonde prequel, Elle, in New York City on June 25, 2026. The 50-year-old actress, who produced the film, looked radiant in a pink off-the-shoulder lace dress and nude heels, her signature blonde hair perfectly styled. Haarmann, a German private equity financier, rarely let go of her hand as they posed for photos, complementing her outfit with a sharp navy suit and pink tie.

Also in attendance was Reese's son, Deacon Phillippe, 22, whom she shares with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. Dressed in a navy suit, aviator sunglasses, and slicked-back hair, Deacon bore a striking resemblance to his actor father. Reese and Ryan divorced in 2006 after meeting at her 21st birthday party.
Reese's Relationship History
Reese was first linked to Oliver in July 2024 when they were spotted dining together in New York. A source initially told People they were just friends, as Reese was taking things slow. By September 2024, multiple sources confirmed they were dating, and a year later, they were seen being affectionate during a Saint-Tropez trip. A source said: 'Her relationship with Oliver is very special to her. He's not interested in the Hollywood spotlight. He's there for her.'
Reese previously married Hollywood agent Jim Toth in 2011, describing him as her 'perfect fit' in a Marie Claire interview. She said: 'Now I feel a great sense of relief and an incredible amount of support from my husband.' They share son Tennessee, 13. In 2023, the couple announced their divorce, focusing on their family's well-being. Reese posted on Instagram: '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. Our biggest priority is our son and our entire family as we navigate this next chapter.'
