Reese Witherspoon did not have an easy time announcing her split from husband, CAA talent agent Jim Toth, 52.
The actress – who announced their split in a joint statement last month – felt stressed about the decision.
But a source close to The Last Thing He Told Me producer, 47, told People that she has ‘no regrets’ about ending the union.
‘The divorce decision was not an easy one for her. It was rough to reach the decision and to announce it,’ the source shared.
‘Reese is doing much better now though. She has no regrets and is just focused on her kids and work.’

‘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.
‘Our biggest priority is our son and our entire family as we navigate this next chapter.

Reese is now determined to ‘co-parent amicably’ with Jim. The insider added: ‘They love Tennessee and this is their focus. They will continue to co-parent amicably. There is no drama.’
‘Reese is obviously disappointed and upset. She never saw herself getting another divorce,’ a source told People at the time.’
The source added, ‘It’s been very difficult for Reese to get to this point. They both concluded this was right for them
Reese is a self-proclaimed Type A person while sources say Jim is more ‘laid back’, and that was likely the issue.
‘They are two very different people though. Reese is headstrong and focused. Although very hard-working, Jim is more laidback,’ said the source.
But there is no mess: ‘There is no drama,’ insisted the insider. And the Los Angeles residents will be there for the child. ‘They love Tennessee and this is their focus. They will continue to co-parent amicably.’
Leaning on friends: ‘She has a big group of loyal friends that she leans on,’ the source added. ‘There is no drama with Jim. They co-parent and this is the focus’. Seen with Laura Dave, Jennifer Garner, Aisha Tyler and Lauren Levy Neustadter at The Last Thing He Told Me premiere in LA on April 13
The source also provided some background on the marriage. ‘After she was set up with Jim, their relationship moved quickly. Reese was thrilled by his attention and excited to marry him,’ added the source.
And Reese has been a very busy lady lately. She produced Hulu’s Daisy Jones and the Six and star in the rom com Your Place or Mine with Ashton Kutcher.
She also produces the Jennifer Garner series The Last Thing He Told Me, which is a thriller set in Sausalito, California.
