THE rumours are true.

Reese Witherspoon has taken to social media to confirm Legally Blonde 3 is in the works.

“It’s true … #LegallyBlonde3,” she captioned a short clip of herself in a sparkly pink bikini, floating past the camera on a blue lounger.

The clip was a reference to Witherspoon’s beloved sorority sister turned Harvard Law School student’s video application to the prestige institution.

Witherspoon, 42, first played the loveable Elle Woods in the 2001 comedy and reprised her role two years later for Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde.

She was just 25 when the first film was released.

While the sequel was not as well received, the original pulled over $132 million domestically, according to Box Office Mojo.

The original film was also made into a Broadway musical in 2007.

No word yet on whether actors Jennifer Coolidge, Luke Wilson or Selma Blair have signed on for the third film.

While no details have been released about the plot, Witherspoon dropped hints about what she’d like to see happen with Elle Woods during an interview on Fashionably Late with Rachel Zoe in 2015.

“A lot of writers over the years have come up with different ideas for it. I actually think it’s kind of great right now because we’re talking about women in politics and how important that is to get more women,” she said.

“And I think it’d be kind of a cool thing to have [Elle Woods] be a Supreme Court Justice or somebody who runs for office, like president.”
