Reese Witherspoon: ‘My Perfect Life Just Happened’

Reese WitherspoonREESE Witherspoon insists she didn’t plan to have the perfect life — it just kind of happened.

The Oscar-winning actress — who’s currently dating Jake Gyllenhaal and has two kids with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe — says she thinks of herself as a single mom making it through the day.

“It isn’t anything I chose in life, it just sort of happened that way,” the Legally Blonde star, 33, told People magazine at Tuesday’s Avon Foundation for Women charity event at New York’s Cipriani 42nd Street, where she was the honorary co-chair.

“We all just do the best we can. We’re all just people trying to get through life however we can … I’m thrilled to be any sort of inspiration to anyone!”

Witherspoon also spoke about the new Avon fragrance she has launched, In Bloom.

“I just wanted a scent memory of my childhood in Tennessee growing up,” she says. “A lot of it is white flowers and gardenias and things that I grew up in the backyard loving. Things that I smelled on my mother and my grandmother that really inspired a feeling of being back home.”
