I just saw this! I'm so bummed! One of my favorite Hollywood couples.
Here's another short article:
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have separated. The couple's rep released a statement to TMZ Monday morning that says "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."
Sources tell TMZ Witherspoon has contacted celebrity divorce lawyer Robert Kaufman, who has represented Jennifer Aniston, Roseanne and Lisa Marie Presley. Sources say Witherspoon spoke with Kaufman about divorcing Ryan Phillippe, her husband of seven years. The couple has two children. They met at Witherspoon's 21st birthday party.
As for why Witherspoon contacted Kaufman, we're told it was not triggered by one event. Rather, one connected source says it was "cumulative."
Divorce papers have not yet been filed.
This was really upsetting to read Many are saying that they saw this coming, so no one should be surprised -- but really, anytime a long-term marriage (7 years is an eternity by Hollywood standards these days) ends up like this...it's just sad And they were really looked up to, too, especially for starting out so young and lasting through many obstacles already *sigh*
im completely shocked about this... i know they hadnt been seen together in a while (until a recent event) but still, these two always seemed so committed and in love they came across as the real thing, love, kids etc. thought they would last the lifetime one of my fav hollywood couples.
Seriously this makes me soo sad. I love Reese and I love Ryan!
But I mean maybe this was coming, since they have the same curse as several other Hollywood couples, one of them is too popular and too huge and the other one is the not-so-famous significant other (what's up Hilary and Chad!)... But still, I'm really depressed about this. It's like I know them (although I don't)
(Plus then there's all the rumors about Ryan cheating on Reese while she's away filming, but I have always refused to believe those.)
But really, no couple ever last in hollywood... That's why I hate it when I see two actors that I like getting together, because you already know they're going to split later on.
Everyone keeps saying that he cheated on her A LOT...so I guess it's not so shocking...there were a ton of blind items about these two...
The real question is: What golden couple will Middle America worship now? Brad and Jen are long over and now Reese and Ryan...I guess it's all up to TomKat.
For some reason I never believed in them as a couple. So I'm not really that surprised. . .
It's a shame though, not many Hollywood relationships seem to last
