The couple announced their divorce today after almost 12 years of marriage.

"We have some personal news to share..." they said in a joint statement shared on Reese's Instagram. "It is with a great deal of care and consideration that we have made the difficult decision to divorce. We have enjoyed so many wonderful years together and are moving forward with deep love, kindness and mutual respect for everything we have created together."

According to People, Reese started dating Jim, a talent agent, in 2010 and got engaged to him later that year. They married in March of 2011 and welcomed their first and only child, Tennessee, in 2012.

Not Reese Witherspoon.😞 Welp, at least she has always maintained her independence, so she can move on in a healthy financial way. Career and money intact.
