Reese Is Close Friends With Bumble’s Founder

“It’s been tough for Reese to pick up the pieces after splitting up with Jim but she’s crediting Whitney with helping her to refocus,” a source told Life & Style, referring to her close friendship with Bumble co-founder Whitney Wolfe Herd. “Get her mojo back and get back on the dating scene — on her terms and on her own timeline, of course.”

Bumble is a dating app that empowers women by allowing them to make the first move in initiating conversations; it was founded by Whitney Wolfe Herd in 2014 after she left Tinder, where she was a co-founder, aiming to create a more respectful and empowering dating experience for women.

“It’s a friendship that has filled Reese with the confidence not just to walk into boardrooms and make major deals but to open herself to new dating possibilities and options as a wealthy, powerful and suddenly single mom,” the source continued. “Reese could have given up on relationships entirely after the painful split from Jim but she hasn’t, even if she’s as picky as ever and still has sky-high standards.”

Reese Was Reportedly Dating A Mystery Man

Last month, it was reported that Reese was dating someone new, though his identity wasn’t released publicly. But now with reports that Reese’s friends are helping her get back on the dating scene, perhaps things have fizzled out.

“Reese doesn’t take dating lightly,” a source told Life & Style in May. “After splitting from Jim, she was determined to take her time and not jump into another relationship unless she was absolutely sure. She listened to her heart, and apparently, she’s now dating this guy exclusively.”

“There’s still a lot of secrecy surrounding her new suitor,” the source added about why the suitor’s identity was a mystery too Reese’s fans. “She’s totally into him and optimistic about where it might be headed.”
