Reese Witherspoon’s new husband Jim Toth thinks her life is “bizarre”

The ‘Water for Elephants’ actress – who married the Hollywood agent in a small ceremony in March – thinks Jim is shocked at suddenly being the centre of attention having always been behind the camera and working with talent out of the public glare previously.

She said: “He thinks it’s totally bizarre. I think you have an instinct when you’re with the person you want to build a life with. You learn more as you get older about what you need in a partner.”

However the blonde beauty – who has children Ava, 11 and Deacon, eight, from her previous marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe – thinks it is helpful to be in a relationship with someone who understands the pressures of fame.

Asked if it is easier to be with someone who is not an actor, she responds: “I wouldn’t say it’s easier; every relationship has its own dynamic. But it helps that he understands what I do for a living.”

Despite her high-pressure job in the public eye, Reese believes being a parent is the toughest job she has.

She told You magazine: “Being a parent is the hardest thing on earth. It breaks your heart when your children are unhappy and you feel incredible joy when they are happy.”

Reese Witherspoon has married Jim Toth

The couple tied the knot last night (26.03.11) at the actress’s six-acre ranch home in Ojai, California during a romantic ‘Southern Style’ wedding.

Celebrity friends including Renee Zellweger, Alyssa Milano and Tobey Maguire were among the 140 guests who watched the blonde beauty wed the Hollywood agent wearing a custom-designed Monique Lhuillier dress, according to UsMagazine.com

Reese’s children from her first marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe, Ava, 11, and seven-year-old Deacon took part in the ceremony and the ‘Walk the Line’ star’s best friend Heather Rosenfield was matron of honour.

The 35-year-old star walked down the aisle to traditional wedding song ‘Here Comes the Bride’ but a southern feel was added with ‘Tennessee Waltz’ playing during the procession.

The happy couple were married by Reverend Jimmy Bartz in a 20-minute ceremony and exchanged wedding rings designed by jeweller William Goldberg.

A source close to the pair – who announced their engagement in December – told the magazine that they are a perfect match and said Reese feels secure with her new husband.

They said: “He’s a very confident guy who takes care of her.

“[Reese] really wants to be married and have that security with someone. They feel like they’ve hit the jackpot in this relationship!”

Reese Witherspoon thinks having children stopped her from being self-obsessed.

The 34-year-old actress – who has two children, 11-year-old daughter Ava and seven-year-old son Deacon, with her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – believes being a young mother changed her perspective and made her less focused on her career.

She said: “My children are the best part of my day. I used to be very competitive and aggressive but when I had my first child at 22, it put my whole life in perspective and helped me get out of my very narrow-minded focus on my career. Having kids stops the endless cycle of self-obsession.”

The ‘Water for Elephants’ actress recently got engaged to Hollywood agent Jim Toth – who she met just months after ending her two-year relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal in late 2009 and Reese feels “lucky” to have got another chance at love.

She told Closer magazine: “I am lucky I’ve had a few shots getting second chances. That’s nice. I thought I knew everything about love and relationships in my 20s – the ignorance of youth is bliss.

“As you get older, you start to realise that you don’t really know anything and life is a great travelling journey. Life is unexpected – you just never know what’s going to happen. I would love to have more kids.”

The Oscar-winning actress also admitted she would rather people praised her sense of humour rather than her looks.

She said: “I always say funny doesn’t sag, which seems like a good rule of thumb. People should be more interested in your personality than how you look in a bikini. As an actress, you think about longevity, probably more than men. You hope to have a long lasting career.”

Reese Witherspoon has got engaged.

The ‘Walk the Line’ actress – who has two children, Ava, 11, and seven-year-old Deacon, with former husband Ryan Phillippe – has announced plans to marry Hollywood agent Jim Toth after almost a year of dating.

Her representative confirmed to UsMagazine.com: “They are engaged and extremely happy.”

News of the couple’s engagement is said to be supported by the 34-year-old beauty’s children.

One insider said: “Ava and Deacon are happy with him.”

Earlier this month, Jim fuelled engagement rumours when he was spotted visiting a number of high-profile jewellers in California, including the world-famous Harry Winston in Beverly Hills, looking for the perfect band to propose with.

A source said: “He was looking for something pretty big, around three or four carats. Reese probably wouldn’t wear anything larger than that since she’s not showy. Price wasn’t an issue.”

A friend of the agent revealed he was serious about Reese from the beginning.

The pal said; “Jim knows Reese is the one for him. It’s what he’s been waiting for. Getting engaged is a natural step for them.”

Reese and Jim began dating last January, months after the actress ended her two-year relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal.

She split from former husband Ryan in 2006 after seven years of marriage.

The actress – whose three-year relationship with actor Jake Gyllenhaal ended in December – was pictured smiling as she got into a car with Hollywood agent Jim Toth last night (24.02.10), but promptly covered her face as she realised they had been spotted by photographers.

The 33-year-old star – who has children Ava, ten, and six-year-old Deacon  with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – was seen out two weeks ago with Jim at Locanda Portofino restaurant in Los Angeles, but are believed to have been on “at least ten” low-key dates prior to their public outing.

Onlookers said the pair were “very flirtatious” and “very happy” during the meal.

A source said: “They were very flirtatious throughout dinner. They were having a lot of fun, totally getting along and laughing and talking the whole dinner. Reese seemed very happy. The mood was upbeat and really good.

“As they left, Reese reached around his neck and pulled him close for a hug. They kissed bye on the cheek – but it was a very friendly goodbye.”

Friends say Jim is ready to settle down but is not placing any pressure on Reese as he knows she’s recently come out of a serious relationship.

One said: “He’s reassessed his life. He suffered a loss last year -the death of his father – and Jim feels it’s time to settle down. He’s definitely grown up from his younger days as a cocky agent.”
