Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon has struck the jackpot in her love-life both ON and OFF the big-screen, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The divorced mom of two is romantically involved with her Hollywood agent boyfriend Jim Toth while she’s preparing to lock lips with Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson when Water For Elephants starts filming in California this week.
Pattinson will play the part of 21- year- old veterinary student Jacob Jankowski who joins a circus after his parents are killed in a car crash.
He falls in love with the show’s star performer Marlena (played by Witherspoon) who unfortunately is married to a schizophrenic animal trainer who runs the show.
Over the weekend Reese was spotted strolling around Ojai in California hand in hand with real-life beau Toth.
The lovebirds ate at local joint Ruben’s Burritos before heading back to Reese’s secluded farm nearby while her ex-husband of seven years Ryan Phillippe looked after their two kids Deacon and Ava back in Los Angeles.
