It's plain to see that Reese Witherspoon has found love and happiness with her new hubby, Jim Toth, and the actress, who appears in the October issue of Marie Claire Magazine, isn't shying away from sharing. Reese, whose first marriage was to Ryan Phillippe, chatted with the magazine about her road back to happiness following her divorce, saying:

"I was hard on myself when I got divorced. And until I got remarried, I don't think I realized how stressed I was. "

As a newly married woman, Reese says her days of stress are long gone, telling Marie Claire, "I feel so much relief. I don't think I realized how stressed I was being a single parent. It was really, really stressful. It's not easy on anybody."

Not only does Reese have her man, but she has a full family back with her two kids, Ava and Deacon.

"I got lucky. I did. I got very lucky, and he's so wonderful with the children. I'm very blessed."
