Reese Witherspoon
- Profession: Actress
- Place/Date of Birth: Nashville, Tennassee, 22 March 2020
- Associated with: Ryan Phillippe
The 32-year-old actor has two kids with Reese - a seven-year-old daughter called Ava and son Deacon, three.
The star has been made the scapegoat in the marriage break-up, with rumours that he and his co-star had a fling on the set of their new film, Stop Loss.
Ryan’s also known to be a fans of a good night out, although his spokespeople say that his so-called hard-partying image has been blown out of proportion.
Reese splits from husband Ryan - Oct 31 2006
Reese Witherspoon has formally split from her husband Ryan Phillippe.
A statement released on behalf of the couple read: "We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally separate.
"They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time."
The news comes as something of a shock to Hollywood, because in recent interviews for his new movie Flags Of Our Fathers, Ryan talked quite happily about his missus, although he admitted that they didn’t plan on working together any time soon.
The young couple have been together for seven years after meeting at the Oscar-winning actress’s 21st birthday party.
They have two children - Ava and Deacon.
Reese has apparently been talking to celebrity divorce lawyer Robert Kaufman, who has previously represented Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Marie Presley in their break-ups.
Although the pair have occasionally faced marriage problem rumours (particularly after Reese became one of the most bankable starlets in Tinseltown), they appeared to be a solid couple.
But TMZ.com reports that the reason Reese contacted a lawyer was "cumulative".
Reese and Ryan’s new baby - 03/11/03

They have named him Deacon Phillippe, wonder if they have ever heard of the band Deacon Blue? Reese and Ryan already have a four-year-old daughter called Ava, and were married in 1999.

Reese won a Golden Globe nomination for the film Election, and a second Golden Globe nomination for her hit film Legally Blonde, which earned her a place as a big league Hollywood actress. Sweet Home Alabama came next, and then the follow up - Legally Blonde 2, where she earned a whopping $15 million, a whole $14 million more than she got for the first film!
Reese married actor Ryan Phillippe in 1999 and they have a daughter Ava Elizabeth. She met Ryan at her 21st birthday party, and acted alongside him in Cruel Intentions. Their second child is expected in December 2003, and they have recently made Notting Hill their London home
