The entire NFL world stood heartbroken as their GOAT Tom Brady went through a rather painful divorce. Ever since the New England Patriots legend’s separation from his supermodel ex-wife, Brady has been linked to quite a few names. While Veronika Rajek was a fan favorite, a certain Hollywood A-lister has been the talk of the town lately.

Both Reese Witherspoon and Tom Brady are well-versed in the subject of heartbreak. While Brady recovers from bidding farewell to Gisele Bundchen, Witherspoon puts her love life on hold after announcing her split last month. Despite rumors of Brady and Witherspoon healing together, the two seem focused on their respective families and kids. Reese Witherspoon has gone through a similar experience in the past and is heavily impacted by history repeating itself.

Witherspoon’s past dictates her future

Prior to her eleven-year run with her ex-husband Jim Toth, Witherspoon had already experienced the pain of a divorce. The ‘Legally Blonde’ actress earlier split from her then-husband, Ryan Phillippe, back in 2007. Witherspoon’s first experience with a public divorce left the actress severely drained, but Jim Toth came to the rescue.

“I was hard on myself when I got divorced. And until I got remarried, I don’t think I realized how stressed I was. I feel so much relief. I don’t think I recognized how anxious I was about being a single parent. It was really, really stressful.” explained Witherspoon to Marie Claire.

Despite their separation in 2007, Phillippe maintained his constant support for Witherspoon, wishing her the best in her personal endeavors, “I’m very happy for both Reese and Jim. I wish nothing but the best for the mother of my children.” shared Phillippe with the New York Daily news.

The intricate complexities of a public divorce got even more difficult for Witherspoon with all the rumors flying around. Needless to say, both Brady and Witherspoon had to clear the air.
