Reese Witherspoon is looking ahead following her split from Jim Toth.

A source tells PEOPLE that while the decision to divorce from Toth, 52, was "not an easy one" for Witherspoon, 47, the actress and producer "is just focused on her kids and work" more than three weeks after the pair announced they made the "difficult decision to divorce" in March.

"The divorce decision was not an easy one for her. It was rough to reach the decision and to announce it," the source says. "Reese is doing much better now though. She has no regrets and is just focused on her kids and work."

Witherspoon and Toth share 10-year-old son Tennessee James, while the Legally Blonde star and ex-husband Ryan Phillippe also share daughter Ava Elizabeth, 23, and son Deacon Reese, 19.

"She has a big group of loyal friends that she leans on," the source continues, adding: "There is no drama with Jim. They co-parent and this is the focus."
