“This story is completely fabricated and not true,” Reese Witherspoon's representative told People. The dating rumours came shortly after the two actors finalised their respective divorces.
Reese and ex-husband Jim Toth announced their breakup in a statement in March this year, and she officially filed for divorce a week later. They reached a settlement by August. Meanwhile, Kevin Costner and his now-ex wife, Christine Baumgartner, divorced in May. During their 18 years of marriage, they welcomed three children. Reese also has three children from her two marriages.

Our biggest priority is our son and our entire family as we navigate this next chapter. These matters are never easy and are extremely personal. We truly appreciate everyone’s respect for our family’s privacy at this time.”
