Aussie actress Abbie Cornish and Ryan Phillippe have split, her rep confirms to UsMagazine.com.

On Sunday, Cornish, 27, was spotted moving out of the Los Angeles home she shared with Phillippe, 35.

"He called her to end the relationship," a source tells Us. "They had grown apart. She flew into town yesterday to move out, as he asked her to so."

Cornish and Phillippe, who met on the set of the war drama Stop-Loss, began dating in 2006 - around the same time he and Reese Witherspoon announced they were separating after seven years of marriage. (Phillippe has two children with Witherspoon, daughter Ava, 10, and son Deacon, 6.)

Last fall, Cornish told W magazine that being linked to the collapse of Phillippe's marriage was "a really difficult time for me. In a normal, successful career, someone usually learns these things bit by bit. For me, it was like night and day. I woke up one day and there was this whole new thing I had to process and deal with."

Asked if she'll wed Phillippe one day, she said, "I don't know [if we have plans in that direction]."

    carol: SNAP! gd one sophie;) Any woman who gets with a married man and plays with his head is a hoochie (knowing how men are weak and can easily be played, she should knw better, and put herself in the wife's shoes) Cant judge these guys, but I love Ryan he seems mature and knows where his priorities lie, i don't think he's a two timer.

    LOL at Reese's fans still ripping Ryan apart. Get over it ladies and realize your Princess is really a toad.

    @tina - Where does it say he cheated on her?? It just said that they grew apart.And Abbey didn't breatk up a marriage. If the marriage is strong, it stays together. No man or woman has that kind of power, as much as others like to think so.

    BWAH. Honey if he cheats with you he will cheat on you. you were nothing special. I love karma. This thing got what she deserved in the end.She broke up marriage by sleeping with a married man. Now it happened to her. Aint life grand? Ryan is clearly no prize. He needs to grow the hell up.

    to carol: reese dated the jake guy way later after the divorce, whereas the ryan guy immediately has a new gf during the separation that lead to the divorce. what a coincidence, they were costars too. umm, suspicious no? btw, all these reports are not news, but mere gossip...if you need to see it w/ your own eyes to believe it, well, you shouldn't be reading stuff on this website.

    Two despicable people. Pity they broke up. They probably deserve each other.

  • February 22, 2010 - 2:19pm Jenii84

    Awh...That's sad. I liked them as a couple.

  • February 22, 2010 - 2:15pm Anon

    Don't care about these cheaters. He feels sorry for himself because Reese was more successful and she's a hanger on that knew he was married. They are losers like the J-Pitts.

    It's funny how many comments attack Ryan's character. What do any of you actually know about him? What the tabloids say? Good reference, folks.

  • February 22, 2010 - 12:37pm lobri

    (cue bully from the Simpsons:)'HA HA! HA HA! HA HA! HA HA!' Now, Gretchen Wilson.... you're a hooooooooooo-mewrecker!

  • February 22, 2010 - 12:26pm momma

    Don't be suprised if he leaves you the way he found you!

    Its funny how everyone makes Ryan the bad guy but nobody mentions how Reese starting dating one of her husband's friends (Jake). I guess when you're America's Sweetheart that's ok. I'm not personally on either side and only they know what happened between them. I think Ryan just couldn't handle being married to a more successful actor so he bailed. I don't know where all this cheating talk comes from because I saw no evidence of that. They got divorced adn starting dating other people. So what? I love how people make judgements like they were sleeping in between Ryan and Reese. They're divorce was between them and I don't feel nobody else caused it.

  • February 22, 2010 - 12:20pm J

    Whenever Ryan dates a woman, her career takes off - and he can't handle her success!

  • February 22, 2010 - 11:10am ?????

    I hope Reese has caller ID - I'm sure this loser will come sniffing around her again....he is pathetic. Good for Abbie finally waking up to what a jerk this guy is....

    someone give ryan a steak to eat, lookin a bit anorexic here

  • February 22, 2010 - 11:03am B

    I agree with angels comment. Is she looking for sympathy? What a joke. You chose to sleep with a married man, broke up the marriage and you are whining that it was a "difficult time" for you? Think about how difficult it was for Reese and the 2 children. What a self centered human being. Here's hoping Karma continues haunt you.

  • February 22, 2010 - 10:53am ROFLOL

    Sweetie, if he does it WITH you - he will do it TO you... I don't feel bad at all - look what she did to Reese.

  • February 22, 2010 - 10:24am hmm

    She has done some good work and probably has been too young to know what is good for her. She is a bit athletic for hollywood (but that is nice to see) He must be a real mess. It is a shame he couldn't pull it together for their kids. Reese is probably super type A but she is beautiful, an excellent role model of a working mom, and she loves those kids. With all that money and nannies for date night, you'd think he could have tried harder to be a better husband and father. This girl did herself no favors being associated as a home wrecker so maybe it will help her rep to be away from him.

  • February 22, 2010 - 10:19am Katie

    Sounds like he wouldn't commit and marry so she finally decided to split.
