New
York
(ANI):
Actress
Reese
Witherspoon
has
confirmed
rumours
that
she
is
dating
her
current
beau
after
they
were
spotted
stepping
out
together
hand-in-hand.
Witherspoon,
34,
and
CAA
agent
Jim
Toth
were
spotted
in
Ojai,
Calif.,
on
March
22
where
they
celebrated
her
birthday.
“They
looked
very
happy," the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
a
West
coast
source
as
saying.
The
lovebirds
were
all
smiles
throughout
the
day,
which
started
with
a
romantic
lunch
at
a
small
Mexican
restaurant
and
continued
with
a
shopping
spree.
The
duo
had
sparked
rumours
of
a
fling
in
January,
when
they
had
a
very
“flirtatious"
dinner
at
LA
eatery
Locanda
Portofino,
just
weeks
after
the
actress
split
with
ex-boyfriend
Jake
Gyllenhaal.
Toth"s
firm
represents
Witherspoon,
so
the
first
rumours
about
their
romance
were
hushed
with
the
cover
story
that
their
meeting
was
simply
a
business
dinner.
“People
were
surprised
that
she
bounced
back
so
quickly
after
dating
Jake,
but
she
really
likes
Jim.
I
think
she
was
shocked
to
like
someone
again
so
quickly,"
a
source
close
to
Witherspoon
said.
“Friends
of
hers
are
hoping
this
works
out.
He"s
a
good
guy
and
they"re
hoping
this
lasts,"
the
source
added.
