A truly stunning and undeniably sexy Reese Witherspoon graces the cover Marie Claire‘s October 2011 issue.
Reese speaks very frankly about life as a single parent to Ava and Deacon following her 2007 divorce from Ryan Phillippe… and how things have changed for her since her wedding this spring, to entertainment agent Jim Toth.
“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…it’s really traumatic. Now I feel a great sense of relief and an incredible amount of support from my husband.
“You know, somebody close to me once said, ‘Oh, no man will ever accept your children.’ And I just thought it was the most horrifying thing someone has ever said to me in my entire life. I was determined to find somebody who would make that not true. And I got lucky. I did. I got very lucky, and [Jim's] wonderful. And so wonderful with the children. I’m very blessed.”
And here I thought this whole time that Ryan Phillippe was a pretty involved dad. Then again, moms usually do have to handle the lion’s share of parenting duties, whether they’re married or not. I do think Reese and Jim seem very happy together and agree that she’s a lucky girl!
Her cover shoot by photographer Tesh is just incredible. I can’t stop looking at these pictures! Click through to see more!
