Reese Witherspoon has confirmed her relationship with German financier Oliver Haarmann after they were spotted holding hands in New York City, following months of speculation. The couple was first linked in July when they were seen dining together, but initial reports suggested they were merely friends. Witherspoon, 48, recently finalized her divorce from Jim Toth, while Haarmann, 57, was previously married to Mala Gaonkar. Sources indicate that Witherspoon is taking things slow, focusing on her work and family. Haarmann is a founding partner at Searchlight Capital and a co-owner of the NHL's New York Islanders. The couple's recent public outings suggest a growing romance, despite some sources emphasizing its casual nature.
