Reese Witherspoon's family evening

Reese Witherspoon's children have bonded with her boyfriend.

The actress took Ava, 10, and six-year-old Deacon - her kids with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe - out to pizza with Hollywood agent Jim Toth, before the quartet went shopping at Treasures of Ojai in California.

Earlier in the day, Reese and Jim - who have been dating since February - went jogging before joining a male pal for lunch at Japanese restaurant Sugarfish, where the couple made no attempts to hide their love for one another.

A source said: "Reese was very bubbly throughout lunch and she was also very flirty with Jim."

It was claimed recently the 'Legally Blonde' actress has told pals she is ready to marry again.

A source said: "Their relationship is very hot and messy, and she loves the excitement of it.

"She isn't going to propose to him or anything like that - she's still a Southern girl at heart - but she has definitely dropped a few hints and he's absolutely head over heels for her."
