Reese Witherspoon talks about her new hubby

Reese Witherspoon‘s new husband Jim Toth thinks her life is “bizarre”. The Water for Elephants actress — who married the Hollywood agent in a small ceremony in March –- thinks Jim is shocked at suddenly being the center of attention having always been behind the camera and working with talent out of the public glare previously.

“He thinks it’s totally bizarre,” Reese said. “I think you have an instinct when you’re with the person you want to build a life with. You learn more as you get older about what you need in a partner.”

However the blonde beauty — who has children Ava, 11 and Deacon, eight, from her previous marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe – thinks it is helpful to be in a relationship with someone who understands the pressures of fame.

Asked if it is easier to be with someone who is not an actor, she responds, “I wouldn’t say it’s easier; every relationship has its own dynamic. But it helps that he understands what I do for a living.”

Despite her high-pressure job in the public eye, Reese believes being a parent is the toughest job she has.

“Being a parent is the hardest thing on earth,” she said. “It breaks your heart when your children are unhappy and you feel incredible joy when they are happy.”
