In the wake of her second divorce this past year, Reese Witherspoon is now enjoying dating Oliver Haarmann.
The actress, 48, has been ‘having fun’ dating the businessman, 57, who’s minority co-owner of the NHL’s New York Islanders and founding partner of Searchlight Capital.
‘Reese is doing great and enjoys dating. She’s having fun with Oliver,’ a source told People. ‘She often flies between Nashville and N.Y.C. to see him. He’s spending time with her kids too.’
That insider says Haarmann has been spending time with Witherspoon’s two sons Deacon, 21, whom the Oscar winner shares with ex-Ryan Phillippe , 50, and Tennessee, 12, who’s her only child from her recent divorce from Jim Toth. 54.
‘Reese loves that he’s a businessman and not into Hollywood,’ that insider added.

Reese Witherspoon steps out with new love Oliver Haarmann and son Tennessee
The actress started dating the businessman after spending time together as friends
While it’s not known exactly when and where the new couple met.
Their relationship first caught the public’s attention this past July when they took a helicopter ride together into New York City.
From there they made their way to the L’Artusi restaurant in the West Village of downtown Manhattan for a romantic dinner date for two.
At that time one source claimed they were just ‘friends’, while another said The Morning Show star was ‘taking things slow when it comes to dating.’
But then multiple sources confirmed weeks later, in September, that the pair had in fact started dating after spotting them together in New York City at least two more times within a month.
‘She enjoys it but doesn’t want it to be a big focus. She’s busy with work and her son. These are her biggest priorities,’ one of the insiders explained.
Haarmann graduated from Brown University and went on to attend Harvard University to pursue his master’s degree in business administration, according to his LinkedIn page.
‘Reese is doing great and enjoys dating. She’s having fun with Oliver,’ a source told People about her new romance with Haarmann, who she reportedly started dating in July

He would head across the pond to London to officially begin his career at global investment firm KKR, which is headquartered in Manhattan but also has a number of offices around the world.
After serving as managing director and partner at KKR, he eventually founded his own private equity company, Searchlight Capital Partners, in 2010.
Since starting Searchlight, the businessman has continued his role as a partner, where he works with his two cofounders Eric Zinterhofer and Erol Uzumeri, according to his company’s website.
Haarmann was married to fellow private equity businesswoman Mala Gaonkar, but ultimately they divorced after welcoming two children together.
Witherspoon, who currently stars in the Apple TV+ drama series The Morning Show since 2019, returned to the world of dating last year after two divorces.
After marrying in 1997, Witherspoon and Phillippe were married for about seven years when they announced their separation in 2006, which led to their subsequent divorce.

Along with Deacon, the New Orleans, Louisiana native also has a daughter Ava, 25, that she shares with her first ex-husband.
She would go on to meet Jim Toth at a friend’s house in 2010 shortly after her split from Jake Gyllenhaal and begin dating in February of that year.
The pair would go on to tie-the-knot in a casual ceremony on Witherspoon’s ranch in Ojai, California in March 2011, but sadly they decided to call it quits and divorce in March 2023 after 12 years of marriage.
Next up for Witherspoon, she is set to star in the comedy film You’re Cordially Invited with Will Ferrell, Geraldine Viswanathan, Meredith Hagner, and Jimmy Tatro that’s set to premiere on January 30, 2025.
