Reese Witherspoon optimistic about love

15th December 2010

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Reese Witherspoon thinks the most important thing to know about love is that anythings possible.

The actress is currently dating Hollywood agent Jim Toth, following her split from Jake Gyllenhaal last year. She also has two kids with her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.

Reese has previously admitted she struggled to cope after her divorce, as she felt she had failed. She now has a more philosophical outlook about her romantic life, and has decided the key is not to label relationships.

I'm just old enough to know now that I know nothing, she laughed to E! Because I think when you are young you think you know everything and now I have just realised, you know, anything's possible.

The 34-year-old is currently promoting her new movie How Do You Know, in which she plays a former softball player who is torn between two men. Reese is rarely seen competing in the sport in the film, but still trained for four months to ensure she was adept at it.

She explained it was important for her to understand everything about the game, otherwise she didnt feel her character Lisa would be believable.

I think its a completely different culture growing up as an athlete, you have a different high school experience, a different college experience, your career is over in your 30s. In a way its a sort of suspended adolescence, she explained in an interview with MTV. My character doesnt have a lot of romantic knowledge, because shes dated a bunch of athletes on the road but nothing serious. So it was important to assimilate into that culture because I really didnt know anything about it. (C) Cover Media
