The 34-year-old blonde beauty tells EW:
- "It definitely sometimes feels like a suit that I wish I could zip off. But I don't feel bad about any of the things I've gone through, whether it's divorce or breakups or anything like that, because that's all part of the life journey, and I have those experiences just like anyone else."
As for getting over bad memories, the actress says she doesn't dwell. She adds:
- "I have one of those incredible memories where I just erase painful things. Maybe that's really unhealthy, and I probably need to see a therapist. But I don't dwell. You just keep going forward. Also, I have kids. What are you going to do? Are you going to teach them to be one of those people who keep looking in the rearview mirror, or are you going to teach them to be one of those people who go, 'Tomorrow's another day'?"
Reese, who's been dating her agent Jim Toth for over 10 months, reveals that no one's more interested about a possible wedding than her mom. Witherspoon jokingly tells EW, "My mom always texts me, like, 'Are you getting married? I'm like, 'Mom, come on! You would know if I was getting married.'"
Back in 2008, Reese and Ryan Phillippe split after seven years of marriage. They have two children together: 11-year-old daughter, Ava and 7-year-old son, Deacon.
