FACEBOOKI LOVE RYAN PHILLIPPE!! But I LOVE Reese too! And they have got the most adorable kids and were the cutest family! I really really hate that it had to come down to this, but it seems nobody is staying together nemore. I just keep hoping to see a magazine print out that their getting back together....Oh well, probably not gonna happen. Yeah, I think they are actually handling the divorce in a very quite subtle way. I'm still pulling for yall though!!
Ryan Phillippe: Ava is My Inspiration

In his first interview since his split from actress Reese Witherspoon over four months ago, Breach star Ryan Phillippe is speaking out on The Ellen DeGeneres Show about the end of his seven-year marriage and how he's dealt with the pain.
"It’s devastating," Phiippe tells DeGeneres on an episode airing Friday. "But the bottom line is the focus is on the children and they’re doing amazingly well and that is really all that matters."
Phillippe, who has continued to work since the split, says he owes all his strength to one woman and one woman only: his daughter Ava.
"As difficult as it is, my daughter has been the inspiration — she has, my 7 year old daughter is Ava yeah, she is beyond, in terms of like conscientiousness and maturity, and she has gotten me thru this...I know it sounds pathetic, I’m a 32-year-old guy, but my 7-year-old daughter is getting me thru the toughest time in my life, and that’s beautiful too."

Wonder if he was thinking about Ava when he was dicking around. Reese is obviously the more classy one of the two. Something tells me that when she has another movie to promote she won't go on a 'woe is me' campaign.

Both Reese and Ryan have handled the divorce in a classy way. They don't bad mouth each other nor make fools of themselves in the public eye. I was shocked to hear they split. Hopefully, they will continue to stay amicable for the sake of the children.

I think they have handled it. I mean there's no other way. The wounds are still bleeding, of course and it will take time but they have to deal with this. They have to be really strong now and can't show their real feelings because they have two great kids. They are poor because it's not easy to go trough such times. But they have to!! I will keep my fingers crossed for them. Perhaps they will find together one day...

I think they've handled it like adults should. They don't bad mouth each other and keep their noses out of the media spotlight as much as they can about all of this. Those kids have good role models as parents. No wonder Ava is so mature.

Ryan's a total phony. That's all I can say. He's hot, so what? Even that good-looking Jude Law still make me sick when he cheated with a baby sitter. And Ryan is not even close to Jude!

They handle it very well. I think Aniston needs to learn from them. They didn't balme one another or none of them played it victim or anything.Even though there were cheating allegation like brad's was. That is class!!!

He is such a phony! She is a saint and a rock, and I feel sorry for both of those children having a cheating, lying, and pathetic father who is trying to save his appearance by mentioning a child that his Ex Wife is basically raising alone.

He's such a fake. I'm sure there will be tons of people who buy into all of this, but he's completely transparent. Go back to partying with underage girls and stop trying to gain sympathy.

They seem to handle the divorce extremely well. They haven't been talking trash about the other through the press and they're not putting their kids in the middle. I think they should get back together. They were so cute!!

i so agree
this split was extra sad.
I just want to be like wait no! please try again!
I thought they would be the one couple who would not split up
If i was interviewing him I would say "Is there any hope for reconciliation at all?"

considerably well. of course, that is because they have kept the nosey papparazzi out of it, hence, no rumors or allegations.

Ryan is a loser. He cheated on his wife...if he wanted another woman he should have ended things with Reese before he went after another woman. That other woman doesn't even hold a candle to Reese. Oh well...that's just my opinion I guess none of us will ever know what went on between them.

I would love to see them back together. Keep trying guys. I agree though, they really have handled this better than most couples. Obviously their kids really do come first. Pay attention Britney. Kids come first. What a concept.

Ryan is a loser. Too bad that it took years of marriage and 2 kids for Reese to realize that.

I think that they are the poster children of how any divorce with children should be handled. And I have to agree that Ryan is delicious eye candy.

F@KE Says:
Did you really just write, "thru?"
I agree that they have both handled this very well. Reese always seems to be very classy and protective of her personal life in an appropriate way. Ryan has too, even if he did actually cheat as people say, he hasn't flaunted anything that would hurt his kids further than the break up already has. But the media will always try to turn any celebrity divorce no matter how friendly into a hateful mess.

I usually laugh off most Hollywood relationships and divorces, but this is one I was really sad about.

I just love Ryan. I hope he keeps his head up and keeps going. I can't believe how much crap magazines and blogs give him (including US Weekly). It so biased toward Reese being the perfect wife and mother. He has handled it really well, I'm sure he could put out negative information about what wasn't working for him but he doesn't.
