Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe are splitting up after seven years of marriage, TMZ reports:
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 indicated that the couple’s impending divorce was not caused by a single event, but rather a “cumulative” series of events. Experts suggest that, aside from the couple’s obvious imbalance in the areas of talent, intelligence, and overall attractiveness, two key factors in the breakup were a) Reese’s realization that she is Reese Witherspoon and he is Ryan Phillippe; and b) Ryan’s refusal to “shave that shit off his face.”
