Jim Toth Bio – How Rich Is Reese Witherspoon’s Husband?



Known from movies



Jim Toth made headlines claiming that he was now in a relationship with Oscar-winning Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon. After nine years of marriage and more than ten years of relationship, the couple is still enjoying their family life living in their mansion in California.

Early life and family

Jim Toth was born on July 26, 1970 in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, USA, so his zodiac sign is Leo and he is an American national. Jim’s grandfather came to the US from Hungary and served in the military with Crucible Steel (Midland, Pennsylvania). Jim’s father was Joe Toth, a so-called laborer, who worked hard most of his life in one of the small steel towns in Pennsylvania.

From his early years, Jim knew about need, so he has always put all the effort into his job, recognizing how hard it can be to live alone from payday to payday.

Educational background

Jim graduated from his local school in Aliquippa in 1988 and then attended Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, graduating in 1992 with a BA in political science.

Career

After working as a financial consultant for three years, in 1995 Jim finally ended his struggle to find a good job he was interested in and ended up in the mailroom of the well-known Creative Artists Agency, a talent agency with many A-list actors and actresses.

He initially worked there as an intern and was promoted to agent in 2000. It took Jim ten years to prove his expertise in his field, and in September 2010 he became co-head of the Creative Artists Agency. Evil tongues say he was promoted due to his romance with Reese Witherspoon, a popular Hollywood actress, as the pair were about to get married, and the Oscar-winning actress (who is also a client of Jim’s agency) was too “tough ‘to marry only one agent; so the board of directors took news of their affairs seriously and promoted Jim. However, Jim denied that he only got his promotion because of his relationship with Reese, insisting that he made his career at the agency on his own.

Among other stars assigned to Creative Artists Agency, prominent names such as Matthew McConaughey, Scarlett Johansson, Jamie Foxx, and Robert Downey Jr.

Personal life, wife Reese Witherspoon

As Reese Witherspoon told Elle magazine, Jim met her at one of the parties their mutual friend was throwing. She was hit by some drunk man who demanded her attention, but Jim was just in time to save Reese from the unpleasant situation: “This really drunk man was hitting on me, making such a fool of himself and yelling at me: “You don’t know me.” And I was like, “Yeah, I know. I don’t know you.” Jim came over and said, “Excuse my friend. He just broke up with someone. Jim was a very good friend, who pulled him out of that situation.

That’s just kind of who he is, a really good person,” she shared her memories of the night she first met Jim.

The pair began dating in January 2010, following Reese’s painful recovery from her breakup with popular American actor Jake Gyllenhaal, whom she dated for a few years. In March 2010, Jim and Reese made their first official appearance together at Reese’s birthday party, held at the actress’s own ranch in Ojai, California. They announced their engagement in December 2010, after showing Reese her $250,000 four-carat diamond engagement ring. The couple married in March 2011 at Reese’s same estate; the entire ceremony reportedly cost the couple about $7 million.

Past relationships and current married life

Before Reese, Jim had an affair with American model Courtney Robertson. Before Jim, Reese was married to Ryan Phillippe, with whom she starred in the legendary movie “Cruel Intentions” – they separated in 2006 and the divorce was officially finalized in 2007. Reese gave birth to two children from Ryan: Ava Elizabeth Phillippe (named after popular Hollywood actress Ava Gardner), born September 9, 1999, and Deacon Reese Phillippe, born October 23, 2003.

On September 27, 2012, Reese gave birth to their son, Tennessee James Toth, at one of New Orleans’ hospitals, her third child, and the first for Jim.

Jim Toth’s wife, Reese Witherspoon. What is she doing now?

Jim’s wife, Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon, was born on March 22, 1976 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. In her early years, Reese was spotted by talent agents and invited to appear in the local florist’s TV commercials. That made her feel like she could become an actress as she really enjoyed the filming process.

Reese began her career with films such as “The Man in the Moon” (1991), “Wildflower” (1991) and “Desperate Choices: To Save My Child” (1992). However, a major career turn took place when she landed the role of Annette Hargrove in ‘Cruel Intentions’ (1999), starring Ryan Phillippe and Sarah Michelle Gellar.

In 2001, Reese played the role of Elle Woods in Robert Luketic’s “Legally Blonde”, and the image of a smart blonde girl always stuck with her and became the most famous character in her career. She later starred in the film’s sequel but was widely criticized for its poor plot, but in 2004, she played Becky Sharp in “Vanity Fair” which proved her drama skills.

Among Reese’s latest works are such series as “Big Little Lies” (also starring Nicole Kidman and Shailene Woodley), “Little Fires Everywhere” and “The Morning Show”, a new series produced by AppleTV. Reese has recently announced that the third movie “Legally Blonde” is coming soon.

Arrested for drunk driving

In April 2013, Reese and Jim were arrested by the Atlanta Police Department for driving in the wrong lane. Jim tested positive in the sobriety test and was arrested for drunk driving, when Reese panicked. She threatened the police officer with her name and social status, promising “he was about to find out who she was.” A month later, after getting mugshots (Reese was also arrested for state police misconduct) and feeling very ashamed of what they did, Reese paid the fines and appeared on one of the episodes of the morning show “Good Morning America”, in which he stated she only told all those bad things because she panicked when she saw her husband being arrested. “I watched him arrest my husband and I literally panicked. I said all sorts of crazy things. Told him I was pregnant. I’m not pregnant. I said crazy things.

You can only hear me laughing because I had no idea what I was talking about and I’m so sorry,” she apologized to the audience of millions. Jim couldn’t get away with just apologizing; he was required to attend the special alcohol education program and received 12 months’ probation, plus 40 hours of community service.

Did Jim Toth and Reese Witherspoon want a divorce?

In 2015, sources close to the couple suggested that the growing tension between the spouses meant that Jim would leave and live in a separate house, and rumors of the split began to appear in tabloids. Due to previous controversies, it was rumored that Jim had problems with alcohol and that Reese did not want their children to see their father in such a condition. However, the couple tried their best to save their marriage and attended several family therapy sessions.
