Witherspoon & Philippe Finalize Divorce

After almost two years, the divorce of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe has been finalized in a Los Angeles court.

The custody and financial settlements were reached on Thursday, People is reporting. The details of the finalized documents are not yet available, though it is believed that Witherspoon and Philippe will share custody of their children Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4.

One document released by the court, dated June 12, stated: “[The court finds] the parties have settled all their remaining issues in these proceedings.”

Witherspoon and Philippe first filed for divorce in November 2006, after a rocky few months which saw Oscar-winning actress Reese holidaying alone a number of times.

The pair were together for seven years, and started dating after co-starring in the 1999 hit movie, Cruel Intentions.

Reese is currently dating Brokeback Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal, while Philippe has just gone public with his relationship with Australian actress Abbie Cornish.

Ryan Phillippe Doesn’t Like Jake

Apparently, Ryan Phillippe is far from happy at ex-wife Reese Witherspoon’s choice of new man.

During a bitter conversation between Ryan and Reese, the Flags of our Fathers actor let his dislike for Gyllenhaal be known, and made a few snaps about his gay cowboy flick.

“Ryan is pissed about Jake,” a source told Us Weekly. He said that “he didn’t want ‘that guy’ around their kids [Deacon, 3, and Ava, 7], and then made some crude Brokeback Mountain remark.”
However, sources at Jake’s camp insist that “Reese doesn’t have him spend the night when the kids are around.”

It doesn’t sound like things in the Witherspoon/Phillippe camp are going to get friendly any time soon…

Could The Witherspoon-Phillippe Divorce Turn Nasty?

People.com is reporting that on Tuesday, Ryan Phillippe filed a legal response to his separated partner Reese Witherspoon’s divorce documents, stating that he would like joint custody of their two children.
In his response, Phillippe claims that “irreconcilable differences” was the reason behind the impending divorce, and asks that child visitation be “equally allocated.”
However, (and this is where it could turn “Hasselhoff-ish”) the original documents filed by Witherspoon in November last year requested that “the court not grant any spousal support” to Ryan.

It all sounds very “civil” now, passing paperwork back and forth through the courts and all… but given some of the heated discussions between the pair before the split, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this divorce gets nasty…

Reese Upset Over Jen & Jake’s Steamy Awards Kiss

Soon-to-be divorced actress Reese Witherspoon is said to have broken down in a fit of tears, after friends told her of a steamy on-stage kiss between her new boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal and love-lorn Jennifer Aniston.

Jake and Jen left on-lookers at a recent awards ceremony in L.A. stunned, when they shared a passionate kiss, after Aniston was presented with an award.

A witness said: “It wasn’t just a polite peck on the cheek. There was definitely feeling in that embrace.”

Reese’s close friend explains that the Oscar-winning actress broke down in distress, crying, “Why would he do that? Why would she do that?”

Adds the friend: “Reese is very unhappy about it because she really thinks Jake is everything that Ryan wasn’t,” reveals the shocked friend. “She thinks he’s sensitive, caring and understanding. Now she’s beginning to wonder…”

“She always thought Jake to be intelligent and charming. That’s why she’s so stunned by the photographs of Jake and Jen. She’s really hurt by what she’s seen. They seem to be very explicit and everyone knows Jennifer’s looking for love.”

Jake is said to be now struggling to regain his girlfriend’s trust, and confided to a pal: “If I’ve made her mad, I’m sorry. I mean really sorry. She’s the best thing that’s happened to me. I have so much respect for her, and I think we are falling in love. I wouldn’t do anything to hurt her intentionally. I should have been more careful.”

Reese is “Doin’ Fine”

Her ex-hubby, Ryan Phillippe, spoke out last week, and this week it was Reese’s turn to tell the world how she’s been coping since announcing the split with Ryan in October…and guess what? Reese is doing just fine!

“I’m doing fine. I’m getting out a little more now. You’ll be seeing a lot more of me,” she told In Touch Weekly.

She admitted that the reason for their separation was ‘irreconcilable differences,’ and that she’s been speaking to Ryan a few times a week…but only to discuss their children, Ava (7), and Deacon (3).

A source said: “[Reese is] being civil to him, but she’s built walls.”

While Reese has put her marriage break-up behind her now, the source added that she has no plans to date again in the near future. “[Dating] is a million miles away from her thoughts.” [Source]

It’s nice to see Reese is doing ok…I hope things remain civil between her and Ryan, for the kids’ sake…ÂÂ

Ryan Phillippe Speaks Out

After the announcement of his separation to wife Reese Witherspoon on October 30th, Ryan Phillippe has kept silent…until now!

The Flags of our Fathers actor has released a statement to People about accusations of his infidelity and excessive partying during his marriage to Witherspoon.

Ryan says: “I’m not a perfect person, but I’m not guilty of a lot of the things I have been accused of. My priority is and always has been the health and safety of my family.”

He refused to comment on whether or not he was in a relationship with his co-star, Aussie Abbie Cornish, and his reps also had nothing to say on the matter, although they do “vehemently deny other recent allegations of hard partying and drug use.”

According to sources close to Reese and Ryan, his excessive partying was one of the major factors behind the separation, and during their marriage, they “would fight over that kind of thing all the time. [Ryan] got away with a lot and he knows it.”

Now matter what happens next, a pal says that the two will remain civil. “I know they love their kids to death. So they’ll do what they can to keep it from turning ugly.” [Source]

No Prenup in Reese-Ryan Divorce

Ryan Phillippe is set to walk away with half of wife Reese Witherspoon’s fortune, as there was no prenup in the marriage!!!

Whether you think Ryan deserves an enormous chunk of Reese’s wealth is irrelevant – under California law, if there is no prenup, each party leaves with 50% of the marital earnings.

It doesn’t sound very fair, when you consider that Reese Witherspoon is one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood, receiving around $20 million per movie, while Ryan Phillippe’s small-time, earning only a measly $2.5 million per movie.

Sources tell TMZ that “on a scale of one to ten, one being a peaceful breakup and ten being Hasselhoff, the Witherspoon/Phillippe split is a three.”

There sources added that there is no talk of a reconciliation, and that it is only a matter of time before divorce papers make it all final.

Is Abby Cornish the Next Sienna Miller?

There’s a new twist in the Reese and Ryan separation story…

According to Pink is the New Blog, Ryan Phillippe and his Stop Loss co-star, Aussie Abby Cornish, were seeing each other behind Reese’s back.

“My friends and I went to Kenichi in downtown Austin on Tuesday night and sat 2 tables away from Phillippe and an extremely attractive blonde (not Reese). The couple had a partition placed around their table soon after they arrived but we could still see their legs intertwined under the table and as we left could see them clearly making out behind the partition.”

When did Reese find this little tid-bit of info out? After the premiere of Flags of our Fathers, of course!

Apparently, Reese found Ryan’s blackberry, which had some very incriminating messages on it.

“When they got back to the hotel, Reese found Ryan’s BlackBerry, which he’d carelessly left in the bathroom — and she read it,” said the source (according to the National Enquirer).”

“Ryan was caught red-handed. All he could say was he didn’t mean what he’d written to the other woman.”

Sure, that’s what Jude Law said about Sienna Miller – who he’s now engaged to (or he was, I’m not really sure – they’re a hard couple to keep up with)!!!
