Ryan Phillippe

Profession: Actor
Place/Date of Birth: New Castle, Delaware , 10 September 2020

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".

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.
