to cover up in an

OTT orange-and-

white faux-fur coat,

but as Reese

Witherspoon got her

glam on for a photo

shoot in LA on June

her black one-piece!

And with buzz

the photo sesh could be part of

her plan to announce the bi

relationships with mags

long gap, then so can she,”

says the insider.

“They’re always chatting

about the working-mum
