Reese Witherspoon’s recently dished about the extreme low she went through during her painful divorce to Ryan Phillippe.
“When people get in your face and say, ‘This will pass,’ you think: Are they crazy?” Witherspooon tells the April issue of Elle. “I’m never gonna feel any better than I feel right this minute and nothing’s ever gonna make sense again. And I still have moments where I’m like, ‘Nothing’s ever gonna make sense again.’ “
She says her 2006 divorce was “very humiliating and very isolating”, but also acknowledges that if it wasn’t painful than she probably should not have married.
“If it’s not painful, maybe it wasn’t the right decision to marry to begin with,” Witherspoon said. “Those are the appropriate emotions.”
She said that her and Philippe did their share of playing the blame game!
“Blame, blame, blame,” she says. “You know? And it’s a really easy thing to do, and I’m certainly guilty of it. [You have to] look at yourself and go: ‘What part of this do I need to own? Which part of this is my responsibility?’ And that’s the painful work that you have to go through to hopefully get some real-life knowledge out of it.”
Even though Witherspoon went through a major low with her divorce, she sure seems to have found happiness with Jake Gyllenhaal
“He’s fabulous,” she says. “He really is a fantastic guy.”
We’re glad that the pain of her divorce was ultimately worth it for her!
Reese Witherspoon’s Kids Planning Four Christmases
November 17th, 2008
Or something like that.
Reese Witherspoon talked about how her and ex-hubby Ryan Phillippe plan to divide their time with their kids over the holidays this year while promoting her new film Four Christmases in Beverly Hills over the weekend.
“I think the most important thing is to be a grownup and not let any kind of feelings affect how you deal with your children,” Witherspoon said.
Witherspoon and Phillippe finalized their divorce in June and she has since said that, “a lot of communication” with her ex-husband and “just being very open” makes the children feel comfortable which is the main goal.
Reese is currently dating Jake Gyllenhaal and when asked if she would ever marry again she said: “I don’t know. I don’t think about it much.”
Yeah, we’re sure the thought never crossed your mind even though you’re in a serious relationship. She’s probably secretly engaged!
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe’s divorce was made final yesterday. Court papers confirm the “parties have settled all remaining issues in these proceedings.”
Phillippe and Witherspoon were married for seven years and separated in 2006 after having two children, Ava and Deacon.
While they were a cute couple, they’ve both moved on to new Hollywood hotties. Phillippe with Australian actress Abbie Cornish, and Witherspoon with the sexxy Jake Gyllenhaal.
After a breakup the last thing you wanna do is have to see your ex with someone new. But it’s hard to avoid when there’s pictures splashed all over the tabloids.
Ryan Phillippe said he avoids looking at pictures of his ex, Reese Witherspoon, and her new man, Jake Gyllenhaal.
“It’s bizarre,” Phillippe told USA Today of seeing Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal together. “There’s plenty of times when I say, ‘What a strange situation I’ve found myself in’. But at a certain point you know it’s going to happen, so you are prepared.”
Phillippe’s breakup with Witherspoon stemmed from rumors that he’d stepped out on her with actress Abbie Cornish. As to whether or not they’re still dating Phillippe said, “It’s just something I would really rather not address. It has to be a ‘no comment.’ “
Ryan Phillippe came out in a new interview with W magazine defending current girlfriend Abbie Cornish. When Phillippe split with his wife of seven years, Reese Witherspoon, there was speculation that it was Cornish who was the home-wrecker. “I had difficulties in my relationship, and my marriage, long before I met her,” Phillippe said to set the record straight.
Phillippe opened up about the end of his marriage, his relationship with Cornish, his children, and his career and below are some juicy tidbits.
On his divorce from Reese Witherspoon: “It was the darkest, saddest place I had ever been. There was a good four or five months of not being able to get out of bed. It was the worst time in my life.”
On reports that Abbie was the reason for his divorce: “It was unfair for her to be called the names that she was, because it wasn’t about that. I don’t think an outside person can ever cause a divorce. … (It was) far more complicated and far less interesting than it’s made out to be. To look and search for these salacious reasons, to pin it on a person, or a moment in someone’s life, it’s not realistic.”
On how daughter Ava, 8, and son Deacon, 4, handled the split: “I wanted to take time to make sure that my kids were okay and to build a new life that was going to be suitable to being a single parent. … (Reese and I) have done a really good job of keeping things peacable and completely focused on (the children).”
So, we are rocking out at a table at Winston’s next to Ryan Phillipe…..and he is repeatedly checking out my BFF Marisa so i thought i could at least get a smoke out of the deal!
