Reese Witherspoon, one of Hollywood’s most beloved actresses, has captured the attention of fans yet again—this time, not with a movie role, but with her rumored new romance. 

Over the summer, Witherspoon was spotted several times with a mystery man, later identified as wealthy financier and National Hockey League (NHL) investor Bill Haarmann. The pair was recently sighted hand in hand in New York City, looking as chic as ever. 

Reese donned a sleek black dress, while Haarmann opted for a sophisticated navy blazer and khakis—casual but polished.

The couple attended an event together on September 4th in NYC, sparking rumors that they’re “casually dating.” However, sources close to the actress insist that Witherspoon is keeping her focus on her career and her son, Tennessee, who’s 11. 

The two are reportedly taking things slow and keeping their relationship down-low for now. But hey, who’s to say what could unfold? For a woman juggling a busy career and family life, Reese seems to be enjoying her time with Haarmann without letting it take over her priorities.

So, who is Bill Haarmann? Beyond being the man spotted on Reese’s arm, Haarmann has quite an impressive resume.

 A graduate of Brown and Harvard, he earned a master’s degree in business administration and went on to work at the prestigious KKR investment firm in London.

Oliver Haarmann isn’t just Reese’s new beau—he’s a financial powerhouse and sports team co-owner

In 2010, Haarmann co-founded the private equity firm Searchlight Capital Partners, where he continues to serve as a partner. Oh, and did we mention he's an NHL team co-owner?

Haarmann recently acquired a small stake in the New York Islanders, further establishing his presence in the sports world.

Before his romance with Reese, Haarmann was married to Mala Gaonkar, with whom he shares two children. Gaonkar herself is no stranger to the financial world; she launched her own hedge fund, SurgoCap Partners, in 2022.

Despite his busy schedule, Haarmann has found time to whisk Reese away for helicopter rides into the Big Apple, where they’ve been spotted dining at hotspots like L’Artusi.

For now, we’ll be keeping an eye on what’s next for this Hollywood power couple—but it looks like Reese is taking her time and doing it her way.

For Reese, who’s navigating the dating world again after her March 2023 divorce from Jim Toth, it seems like Haarmann is a breath of fresh air. 

She’s been open about the challenges of divorce, but in true Reese fashion, she’s focusing on what matters most: her work, her children, and her personal growth. 

As for what’s next with Reese and Haarmann? Only time will tell, but for now, it’s safe to say Reese is enjoying this new chapter of her life!
