Reese Witherspoon is engaged

Los Angeles - Actress Reese Witherspoon, currently in theatres with the costly box office bomb How Do You Know, is engaged to a Hollywood agent she started dating earlier this year, a spokesperson said on Tuesday.

Witherspoon, 34, and Jim Toth "are engaged and they are extremely happy", the spokesperson confirmed by email. The news was first reported by US Weekly magazine.

The couple started dating in January, shortly after Witherspoon ended her three-year relationship with actor Jake Gyllenhaal. She was previously married to another actor, Ryan Phillippe, with whom she has two children.

Witherspoon, best known for playing a plucky attorney in the hit Legally Blonde films, is one of Hollywood's highest paid actresses despite a mixed record at the box office. She reportedly earned $15m for her role in the $100m adult comedy How Do You Know, which has sold just $15m worth of tickets across the United States and Canada after two weekends. She won an Academy Award for playing June Carter Cash in the 2005 Johnny Cash movie Walk the Line.
