Reese Witherspoon and her partner, Oliver Haarmann, stepped out together for the world premiere of Elle in New York City on June 23, marking their first major public appearance as a couple. A source told PEOPLE that the pair are “very much in love.”
Premiere Details and Attire
The 50-year-old actress attended the launch of Prime Video’s upcoming series Elle, a spinoff centered on a younger version of her iconic Legally Blonde character, Elle Woods. Witherspoon wore a bright pink lace dress, while Haarmann, 58, coordinated with a pink tie, white shirt, and navy suit jacket. Photographs from the event showed the couple holding hands and smiling as they arrived.
Relationship Privacy
The couple, first linked in July 2024 after being spotted having dinner together in New York, have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight. According to a source quoted by PEOPLE, they prefer to maintain their privacy. “Reese and Oliver are very private, they don't do PDA and both agree they don't want the world in their personal lives,” the source said. “They are very committed to each other and supportive of each other.”
The source added that the pair enjoy spending time away from public attention. “They would much rather have a night at home together or small dinner parties they have thrown for their friends to meet,” they said. “When they're together it's clear they are both very sharp, they both have similar intelligent energies and it really is beautiful for her friends to see. Reese and Oliver have been meeting each other's friends and families over the last few months and are very much in love.”
Family Support and Future Premiere
Witherspoon’s son, Deacon, also attended the premiere, posing with his mother on the red carpet before joining her and Haarmann at the after-party. In September 2025, a source told PEOPLE that the relationship was “very special to her,” noting that Haarmann is supportive and uninterested in the Hollywood spotlight. Elle is scheduled to premiere on Prime Video on July 1.
