Reese Witherspoon just stepped out hand-in-hand with a new man – but who is the guy that has stolen her heart on the heels of her divorce?

The Oscar-winning actress, 48, is taking things to the next level with her budding relationship with German financier, Oliver Haarmann 56, who she was spotted holding hands with on September 4 as they left a hotel and walked towards a waiting SUV.

Oliver got a duel Bachelor’s in History and International Relations from Brown University in 1990, and went on to get his MBA from Harvard Business School in 1996.

He’s a former partner at Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. Ltd. (KKR), a global investment firm in London, before he left in 2010 and became a founding partner at his own private equity firm, Searchlight Capital Partners.

Reese’s new beau, who is also a minority co-owner of NHL’s New York Islanders, has a jaw-dropping net worth, estimated around $440 million, with $10 billion assets under management.

A source close to the couple explained that the new relationship is ‘just casual.’
However, another insider shared that Reese is ‘taking things slow when it comes to dating.’

They added: ‘She enjoys it, but doesn’t want it to be a big focus. She’s busy with work and her son. These are her biggest priorities.’
