However, the pair wasn’t the only cute couple in attendance. Newlyweds Witherspoon and Toth were spotted smiling, laughing and having a great time at the party as well. Both couples have been making headlines lately with their hectic careers in the public eye, but it’s great to see they still have time for romantic getaways, PDA and some fun!

Reese Witherspoon hit New York City on Sunday for the premiere of her new movie Water For Elephants. The star was all smiles at her first red carpet appearance since tying the knot with CAA agent Jim Toth at her ranch in Ojai, California in late March. When asked how married life is, Witherspoon replied, “It feels great!” The actress recently got back from her honeymoon in Belize, and life is slowly getting back to normal. Luckily, Witherspoon is able to balance her marriage and her promotional duties just fine, saying that “Everything’s just great!” Witherspoon has also added more film premieres in order to get closer to her fans, saying, “This is an opportunity to really connect with the fans. It’s a nice opportunity for me to connect with the people who actually go and see the movies.”
How does married life feel different than the single life?
Following the death of his parents, Jacob Jankowski (Robert Pattinson), a student who is almost finished with his veterinarian degree, jumps on the train that is home to Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. Before he knows it, he’s in charge of the caring for the circus menagerie. While at his “salvation and living hell,” Jankowski meets Marlena (Reese Witherspoon), who is married to August (Christoph Waltz), described as the charismatic yet demented animal trainer who is unable to train a special elephant, Rosie. Water for Elephants has the elements of popular love stories such as The Notebook and Moulin Rogue, while set in a time period where love is something available to very few.

When Taylor Swift and Reese Witherspoon chatted at the Academy of Country Music Awards this past Sunday, they found they had at least one thing in common: Jake Gyllenhaal. But UsMagazine.comreports the 30-year-old actor was nowhere to be found when his two ex-girlfriends met and posed for pictures at the show. Swift, 21, who won the Entertainer of the Year Award, and newly married Witherspoon, 35, showed no hostility toward each other during the event.
After they were spotted together earlier this month, Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn finally decided to go public with their relationship. The couple was seen together on Saturday at Reese Witherspoon’s wedding to Jim Toth. After the wedding, Johansson and Penn stopped by Jimmy’s Bar at Ojai Inn. According to UsMagazine.com, an eyewitness said Johansson was uncomfortable with all the stares they got from the bar. She muttered, “This is so terrifying,” and Penn held her hand as they went to their seat. According to the eyewitness, Johansson sat in Penn’s lap and they made out in full view for 15 minutes after their table was cleared.

America’s sweetheart Reese Witherspoon has officially tied the knot with her agent beau, Jim Toth, at a private ceremony at Witherspoon’s ranch in Ojai, California. The two have been engaged since December. According to People, Toth is quite the family man. The Legally Blonde actress’ children, Ava and Deacon, from her previous marriage to Ryan Phillippe, took to her new husband early in the relationship.

With new celebrity engagements comes speculation over the rings. The debate gets heated when A-listers pair with relatively unknown individuals because people question how the future groom can afford his bride’s massive diamond. Jeweler Johnny Brookheart explained to E! Online how men like Jim Toth and Eddie Cibrian purchase rings for their fiancées (Reese Witherspoon and LeAnn Rimes, respectively). Brookheart explained, “For celebrity clients I typically ask for half the value down and generously finance the rest for a long term….We keep a team of experts on retainer who can help us value and collateralize almost everything under the sun. Houses, horses, art, watches, etc. We’ll either help them secure a loan with their assets, or we may just make a trade.” If further financial help is needed, Brookheart explains that his jewelers present the grooms with discounts, though the generosity of the discount is measured by “… how willing the star is to assist in crediting the jeweler after the proposal…It’s always a negotiation, but this is where being A-list really pays off.”

Reese Witherspoon will soon be walking down the aisle once again, this time with Hollywood agent Jim Toth. The actress, 34, and Toth, 40, began dating in January 2010. This will be Witherspoon’s second time down the aisle; her first marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe ended in 2008. Witherspoon and Phillippe have two children together, Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7. An insider revealed that Witherspoon’s children have bonded with Toth and “…are happy with [Toth].” The source assured UsMagazine.com, “[Reese] is definitely happy, in love and definitely wants to settle down.”
What are things to consider about a second marriage?
How do you know when you’re in love? That’s exactly the question new movie How Do You Know? is asking. Filled with an A-list cast, Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd promise to bring laughs and smiles to this romantic comedy. When Lisa Jorgenson (Witherspoon, Four Christmases) begins dating Manny (Wilson, Marley and Me) she seems to hit a wall when presented with the opportunity to further their relationship. Bring in George (Rudd, The Hangover), a former flame of Lisa’s, and the three of them make for a little love triangle. Written and directed by James L. Brooks, How Do You Know? leaves Cupid wondering:
It turns out that even America’s sweetheart, Reese Witherspoon, has had her fair share of unsuccessful dates, according to People. “I had someone correct my grammar on a blind date once, and I knew within the first 10 minutes that the date was over,” said Witherspoon. “Even worse, I don’t even remember what I said — I probably said ‘ain’t.’ Just don’t correct my grammar. I’m from Tennessee. I probably say everything wrong.” There you have it boys–lesson learned. Never correct a southern girl’s grammar!What are things to avoid on a first date?
As little girls, we’re afraid of monsters in the closet. But when we grow up, that monster is replaced with a fear of aging. But Reese Witherspoon isn’t afraid of getting older! “Funny doesn’t sag!” Witherspoon tellsUs Weekly. The 34-year-old actress assures us that age brings more sexual confidence. “You’re not as intimidated by it, not as embarrassed by it. Sexuality and femininity is an accumulation of age and wisdom and comfort in your own skin.”Is it tougher to date as you get older?
