Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth have spent “less time together” in recent months due to the actress’s work schedule.
An informant said People on Tuesday that they did not “make the decision to divorce easily and hastily.”
The source added: ‘It took a long time. This is very difficult for both of us. There’s no drama. These decisions are so difficult when there is so much friendship and love there.’
This comes after a source told him pages six that it was a “badly kept secret” in Hollywood for months that were over. That means their split took place sometime in 2022.
It was also shared this week that the star is “upset” about the end of the marriage.
The 47-year-old movie icon and Jim, 52, announced their split last week. Reese and Jim were married in March 2011 and soon after welcomed their son Tennessee, who is now 10 years old.

Reese is now determined to ‘co-parent’ with Jim. The insider added: ‘They love Tennessee and this is her focus. They will continue to be friendly co-parents. There’s no drama.
‘Reese is obviously disappointed and upset. She never saw herself getting divorced again,” a source told the site.
The source added: “It’s been very difficult for Reese to get to this point. They both came to the conclusion that this was the right thing to do for them.
Reese is a self-proclaimed type A person, while sources say Jim is more “laid back,” and that was probably the problem.
However, they are two very different people. Reese is headstrong and focused. Although he is a hard worker, Jim is more laid back,” the source said.
But there is no disorder: “There is no drama,” the informant insisted. And Los Angeles residents will be there for the child. ‘They love Tennessee and this is his focus. They will continue to co-parent amicably.’
The source also provided some background on the marriage. ‘After she settled down with Jim, their relationship progressed rapidly. Reese was delighted with the attention from her and excited to marry him,” the source added.
But in the last few months, Reese has been working a lot harder. She not only acts in movies like Your Place Or Mine with Ashton Kutcher. But she also produces many projects; next up is Daisy Jones And The Six with Riley Keough. She and she has also worked on Jennifer Garner’s series The Last Thing He Told Me, which is a thriller set in Sausalito, California.

A source reportedly told US Weekly in 2021 that the couple had been quietly liquidating their joint assets for a couple of years before taking the final step to dissolve their marriage.
“They decided that their marriage was not going to last forever and that they should have a plan to divide their assets that would not destroy what they built together,” the source told the news outlet at the time.
Reese sold a large part of his Hello Sunshine production company for $900 million in August 2021. Jim was one of the founding members of the board.
Reese reportedly maintained a stake in the company and continues to work for Hello Sunshine as a producer on various projects, including Where the Crawdads Sing and the Prime series Daisy Jones and the Six.
“Instead of having to break up a large company with dozens of employees and multiple divisions, they have a lot of money, and there’s plenty to go around,” the source explained.
The couple reportedly sold several of their homes, including a Malibu farmhouse in 2020, an English country-style mansion located in Los Angeles, and a six-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion in Nashville.
A separate property in Malibu, believed to belong to them, has been listed for sale, according to Redfin, for $8 million.
