REESE'S SECRET BREAKDOWN

With her marriage teetering and the sudden death of a close friend, the star is at breaking point

Reese Witherspoon’s professional life has been on fire in recent years. From Big Little Lies and The Morning Show to Little Fires Everywhere, the 44-year-old is riding an incredible career wave of success.

Sadly though, the mother of three's personal life seems to be imploding.

After more than a year of intense tabloid speculation that her nine-year marriage to Hollywood talent agent Jim Toth is on the rocks, moving vans were pictured outside of their Los Angeles home.

Sources tell Woman’s Day they’ve been on the brink of divorce several times in the past 12 months – Reese tellingly didn’t mark their recent wedding anniversary in March – but kept it together for their son Tennessee, seven, and her older children Ava, 20, and Deacon, 16, from her marriage to Ryan Phillippe.

“Reese is on the edge now though, it’s all becoming too much,” confides a source. “She’s a perfectionist who has tried to be the best at her work, her marriage and her mothering, and it’s a lot.”
