Reese Witherspoon was spotted on a night out with private equity financier Oliver Haarmann.

The Oscar winner, 48, and Haarmann (a minority co-owner of the NHL’s New York Islanders and a founding partner of Searchlight Capital) were photographed in New York City on July 30. The two arrived via helicopter on July 29 and dined at L’Artusi in the West Village neighborhood the following day.

A source tells PEOPLE that Witherspoon and Haarmann are “friends.”

Another insider says the actress “is taking things slow when it comes to dating.”

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

Witherspoon recently spent time with Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz in the Hamptons on July 26.

The star and ex-husband Jim Toth announced their divorce after nearly 12 years of marriage in March 2023. The former couple share one son, 11-year-old Tennessee. They settled their divorce by August 2023.

“It is with a great deal of care and consideration that we have made the difficult decision to divorce,” Witherspoon and Toth, 54, said in a statement at the time. “We have enjoyed so many wonderful years together and are moving forward with deep love, kindness and mutual respect for everything we have created together.”

Witherspoon also shares two kids with her ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe: daughter Ava, 24, and son Deacon, 20.

The actress opened up about how her divorce from Toth compared to her 2006 split from Phillippe, 49, while speaking with Harper’s BAZAAR for its August 2023 issue.

“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,” she said at the time.

“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.”
