Just when we thought the South of France couldn’t get any hotter, Reese Witherspoon and her boyfriend Oliver Haarmann turned up the heat aboard a luxe yacht near Saint-Tropez — and yes, there was kissing, cuddling, giggling, and a whole lot of couple-core energy!
On Sunday, July 13, paparazzi cameras caught the Legally Blonde queen, 49, wrapped up in a romantic haze with her German financier boyfriend, 57, as they soaked up the sun. Reese sizzled in an elegant all-white swimsuit while Haarmann chilled in a striped bathing suit, blue tee, and Nike cap — clearly ready for business and pleasure.

Remember when Reese was “taking things slow”? Well, that ship has sailed — literally. The duo, first linked in July 2024, was confirmed to be dating just two months later, with insiders revealing that Oliver was already meeting her kids and making regular trips between Nashville and NYC just to see her.
And now, not only is he meeting the fam, but he’s also starring in what looks like the soft launch of Reese’s next big love story.

“She loves that he’s a businessman and not into Hollywood,” a source previously spilled. Translation: He’s rich, lowkey, and not likely to crash her red carpets.
Let’s talk about the glow-up. Reese looked positively radiant, sipping champagne, laughing like no one was watching (except literally everyone was), and basking in that yacht life. Is this the softest we’ve ever seen her? Probably. Is it giving “I’m in love and thriving”? Absolutely.
Fans are already calling this her “French summer fairytale,” and Twitter (ahem, X) can’t stop speculating if this is more than just a vacation fling. Could we be headed for Reese Witherspoon: The Wedding Sequel? Too soon — but we’re watching.
Even while she’s out here being the star of her own rom-com, Reese hasn’t slowed down. She’s gearing up for The Morning Show Season 4, she dropped You’re Cordially Invited earlier this year, and yes — Legally Blonde 3 is still in the works.
But right now? She’s living her best yacht life in Saint-Tropez — and frankly, we love this for her.
