Reese Witherspoon & Ryan Phillippe Separating
While we all hoped this wouldn’t happen, it now seems it was inevitable.
Reese Witherspoon is on her way from Legally Blonde to legally single.
The Oscar winner has formally separated from Ryan Phillippe after seven years of marriage, their publicists confirmed to E! News.
“We are saddened to announce that Reese & Ryan have decided to formally separate,” read a statement from the couple’s camp. “They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time.”
No divorce papers have been filed, though TMZ.com reports that Witherspoon has contacted Hollywood wives’ go-to attorney, Robert Kaufman. The split specialist has previously represented Jennifer Aniston, Roseanne and Lisa Marie Presley in their high-profile uncouplings.
Although Monday’s announcement was unexpected, particularly for believers in the Hollywood happy ending, rumors of marital strife have dogged the twosome for years.
It’s sad when people invest so much time in each other and it all falls apart.
