Reese Witherspoon and her boyfriend Oliver Haarmann spent a romantic day together off the coast of Saint-Tropez, France, on Sunday, July 13. The couple looked happy as they relaxed on a yacht, hugged, and shared kisses while enjoying the sun and sea. Witherspoon wore a white swimsuit, while Haarmann sported a striped bathing suit, blue t-shirt, and a white cap.
Their Relationship Timeline
The relationship between Witherspoon, 49, and Haarmann, 57, came to light in September 2024. Several sources confirmed they had started dating earlier that year. Haarmann is a German businessman and one of the founders of Searchlight Capital. He also owns a stake in an NHL team.
The couple was first spotted together in New York City in July 2024. At the time, a close friend shared that Witherspoon was easing back into dating. She was focused on work and her youngest son, Tennessee. While she enjoyed dating, she didn’t want it to take up too much of her energy.
Balancing Love and Family
By October 2024, their bond had grown stronger. Sources revealed that Witherspoon was spending more time with Haarmann, flying between Nashville and New York City to be with him. Haarmann even began spending time with her family, especially her sons — 21-year-old Deacon and 12-year-old Tennessee. Deacon is her son with actor Ryan Phillippe, and Tennessee is her child with former husband Jim Toth.
Back then, sources weren’t sure if Haarmann had met Witherspoon’s daughter, Ava, yet. But they mentioned that Witherspoon liked his low-key, business-focused lifestyle, which was far from the Hollywood spotlight she often finds herself in.
Keeping Busy in Career
While enjoying her relationship, Witherspoon continues to stay active in her career. She recently appeared in the comedy You're Cordially Invited alongside Will Ferrell and Geraldine Viswanathan. The film was released in 2025 and featured a lighthearted wedding theme.
She also has more exciting projects lined up. Fans can look forward to seeing her in season four of her hit series The Morning Show on Apple TV+, coming soon. Besides that, she’s working on several other productions, including the much-awaited Legally Blonde 3, which is still in development.
A Love Story Away from the Spotlight
Witherspoon and Haarmann have kept their romance mostly private. Their recent getaway, though, gave fans a glimpse into their growing bond. Their time in Saint-Tropez shows they are enjoying each other’s company while balancing family life and busy careers.
