“She enjoys it but doesn’t want it to be a big focus. She’s busy with work and her son,” they explained “These are her biggest priorities.”

Though the rumored couple is moving cautiously, they have reportedly been seen on several dates in recent months, according to the Daily Mail.

The pair appeared enamored as they were photographed enjoying a pleasant walk before their dinner date at the popular Italian restaurant.

Haarmann sported a sharp look with navy trousers and a white button-down, while the "Morning Show" actress wore a flowy black dress and heels.

Witherspoon has not been publicly linked to anyone since her divorce from Toth was finalized in August 2023. On the other hand, the former CAA agent was seen with an unidentified woman four months after their separation.

An insider previously informed Page Six that by the end of their 12-year marriage, there was “zero spark and zero romance left.”

“There’s no big scandal or drama, just two people who essentially became co-parents and don’t really have any romantic feelings for each other anymore,” the source shared.

Despite their separation, several insiders have stated that the two remain on friendly terms and are committed to co-parenting their 11-year-old son, Tennessee.
