Reese Witherspoon Getting Divorced from Ryan Phillippe

Married for seven years, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe Are now getting divorced

Paula Neal Mooney
The representative of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe has released a statement to TMZ this morning stating the following:

"We are saddened to announce that Reese & 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."

TMZ reported from unnamed sources that Reese Witherspoon called on Robert Kaufman - the same divorce lawyer who represented other Hollywood stars such as Jennifer Aniston, Roseanne and Lisa Marie Presley - and spoke with him about obtaining a divorce from Ryan Phillippe.

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have been married for seven years and have two children together. TMZ reported that Witherspoon and Phillippe met at Reese's 21st birthday party.

Although divorce papers have not been filed yet, a source has said that the split up was due to "cumulative" reasons as opposed to being attributable to one specific event.

    I love Reese Witherspoon and I thought that they wouldn't ever split... it is just unreal! They were such a cute and strong couple who had a great relationship and beautiful children. Maybe they can work it out... That would be nice! Just be strong for yourself and kiddos Reese! You are by far one of the best mom's in hollywood.

    Worship? Not quite. Just respect for two people who seemed to keep it together. Now there's talk of another woman, well it's horrible to hear. I personally believe that adulterers should be stoned. Poor Reese.

    Who cares? Star worship is about as interesting as bowling. Of course, I did read this......
