More than a year after Reese Witherspoon terminated her second marriage to Jim Toth, a former talent agent who is now 54 years old, the world heard that she saw a wealthy divorced father of two children during the summer of this year. In July, the Oscar winner, who is 48 years old, was seen in New York City with Oliver Haarmann, 57 years old, a German private equity billionaire. Since then, she has only fallen even further in love with him.
“Reese is crazy in love with Oliver. She’s not one to rush into things, but she’s told friends she could easily see herself marrying him. If he proposed today, she’d say yes. She’d love to invite friends to a surprise winter wedding," an insider told Life & Style Magazine.
According to the source, Oliver is "different from other guys," not just because he does not work in Hollywood like Jim or his first husband, Ryan Phillippe, who is 50 years old. Reese has stated that their "tough" separation in 2006 caused her brain to feel like "scrambled eggs" for many years.
“Oliver is mature, fun, loving and secure in himself,” explains the source. “She’s confident this would be her last marriage.”
Another celebrity who might be prepared to tie the knot is Angelina Jolie. Since she divorced their third spouse, Brad Pitt, who is now 60 years old, Angelina has not been seen dating anyone in public for eight years.
However, during the previous 18 months, she has been the subject of rumors of a romantic relationship after meeting up with Akala, a British musician, author, and activist, in Jamaica, Italy, New York City, and England, W Magazine reported.
Before Akala, 40, "snuck out" on October 18 and joined the Oscar winner, 49, at the London Film Festival debut of her film Maria and a "romantic" dinner at Soho House, a new source claims that they spent the 16th and 17th of October together in her London hotel, the Corinthia. On October 18, Akala joined the Oscar winner for the premiere of her film Maria.
“He’s handsome, intelligent, worldly, and they’re passionate about the same causes. Akala is pretty much her dream guy,” says an insider, though recent reports claim he’s in a relationship with his business partner, Chanelle Newman. “Meeting Akala made Angie realize the right person for her might still be out there.”
Despite her messy divorce from Brad, riddled with abuse accusations, a nasty child custody battle, and an ongoing lawsuit over the sale of their French estate and winery, “she’s admitted she’d love to get married again,” says the insider. “A simple, spiritual ceremony with someone like Akala who just gets her would make Angie very happy.”
Mary-Kate Olsen is the third celebrity who has expressed interest in returning to the field of marriage, as per Vanity Fair. In 2020, Mary-Kate and Olivier Sarkozy experienced the dissolution of their nearly five-year marriage. The child star-turned-fashion designer filed for an emergency order to divorce the 55-year-old French banker.
The French banker had moved his ex-wife, children, and mother into one of their homes and terminated the $29,000-a-month lease on another home that MK had been staying in without her knowledge or consent. The situation was so dire that the child star-turned-fashion designer asked for an emergency divorce.
After four years, Mary-Kate is experiencing much less drama with her new boyfriend. Paul-Charles "PC" Valmorbida, who is 38 years old, lives in Australia and works as an art gallerist. His family is relatively affluent.
She has known PC for many years. An insider claims that he was best known as a friend. During her 38th birthday celebration in June, they were seen looking cozy together, and not long after that, reports began to circulate that they were planning to be married.
According to the insider, Mary-Kate's upcoming wedding will likely be more elegant than rebellious. This is because both have a lot of money and outstanding taste. Mary-Kate's first wedding was notable for having "bowls and bowls filled with cigarettes." This invitation would be the most prestigious one of the year.
