Oscar-winning actress Reese, 47, and talent agent Jim, 52, have been married since March 2011, and the were just about to celebrate their 12th anniversary on Sunday (March 26).
Legally Blonde star Reese met Toth through mutual friends in early 2010 after her split from actor Jake Gyllenhaal.
According to People, they tied the knot in March 2011 at an intimate ceremony at her family’s 1920s ranch estate in Ojai, California.

Recalling the night she met Jim was rather amusing as he had to step in after his drunken pal embarrassed herself.
In 2012, she told Elle: “This really drunk guy was hitting on me, making such an idiot of himself, yelling at me. He was like, [slurring, scowling, pointing finger in her face] ‘You don’t know me.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I know. I don’t know you!’

“Jim came over and said, ‘Please excuse my friend. He’s just broken up with someone.’ Jim was a really good friend, pulling him out of that situation. That’s just kind of who he is, a really good person.”
Reese and Jim are parents to their son Tennessee, but Reese also shares her 23-year-old daughter Ava and 19-year-old son Deacon with her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.
The Wild actress was married to fellow actor Ryan from 1999 until 2008.
