 Reese Witherspoon has opened up about her split from estranged husband Jim Toth, describing it as a 'vulnerable time'. The Legally Blonde actress, 47, and Hollywood talent agent, 52, announced their decision to divorce in March, after nearly 12 years of marriage. They confirmed the news in a statement on Instagram, vowing to remain close for the sake of their son, Tennessee. Speaking about their break-up in a new interview, the mom-of-three reflected on the difference between the way she publicly handled their separation compared to her split from her first husband, Ryan Phillippe – who she shares children Ava and Deacon with. 'It's interesting what happened to me,' she said of issuing the statement. 'When I was divorced before, the tabloid media got to tell people how I was feeling or how I was processing, and it felt very out of control. 'To be able to talk to people directly about what's going on in my life and just share it in the way that I share great professional experiences or personal experiences, it feels much more authentic to be able to say things in my own voice and not let somebody else control what's happening. The couple were married for 11 years (Picture: Getty) 'Then, of course, there's speculation, but I can't control that. All I can do is be my most honest, forthright self and be vulnerable. 'It's a vulnerable time for me.' 'I think about how many other people are going through this experience,' she added to Harper's Bazaar. 'I don't feel isolated at all. I feel very connected.' The pair were first linked in February, 2010, and announced their engagement at the end of the year.

Reese went on to welcome their first child together, Tennessee, in September, 2012. The Morning Show star shared a statement confir){kind=link}
