Reese & Ryan: A Retrospective
Posted on Mon Oct 30, 2006 11:29 AM PDT
As soon as we heard the news that Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe were calling it quits, we rushed to put together a look back through the couple's years together - as you scroll through the pictures, try asking yourself "Does this couple look happy?"
Ryan and Reese with the kids, respectively
Let's not forget that we used to catch a Reese-less Ryan out clubbing pretty frequently...
...although he rarely went home alone!
Meanwhile, Reese stayed at home to raise the kids...
The picture of marital bliss?
Let's hope the kids can take all this in stride - divorce is never an easy proposition for the children, especially not when the divorce is guaranteed to be as high-profile as Reese and Ryan's!

What? Divorce? Where did you hear this?
And another one bites the dust. WTF is going on in Hollyweird lately? Is breaking up and getting divorced the only way for celebs to be in the media?
honestly... im soo creeped out.. i was thinking bout this a few days ago.. and now its happening!! ahhhhhh :s
The one couple that I thought were going to last..... ***tear***
Witherspoon seems crazy to me. Glad Ryan got free of her.

These pictures are horrible put up some decent ones you losers
I bet my mom last Monday that they would be the next couple to call it quits. I can figure out the ending of Hollywood marriages just as easily as lame big budget movies.
I can't believe everyone is SO surprised. Reese has often talked about them having to "work" on their marriage.And thet never looked truly happy together.
Carrie.... TMZ broke this with a statement released by the couple.
On a seperate note...he's HOTT!
This is so sad. They have the most beautiful family. I really thought these two would make it:(
well i am suprised i actually thought they were happy lol. ahwell.
i hope sarah and freddie stay together i love those 2.
He is jealous of her career, he is jealous of her spotlight star status.. he is just a jealous little lad who will never live up to her star power. Sad things is she doesn't care... typical male insecurity.
In 5 Years: Reese winning another oscar
Ryan: Either Gay or doing movie of the weeks or gay movie of the weeks.
It really makes me sad. I like them both. I hope both their priority will the kids.
I thimk he's too inmature for her... and jealous about her success and money (25 mill $ for her latest picture)
Rumors had been going on for years that he was going out to the clubs and cheating. Why did we never see these pics before, X17? Well at least now you posted the proof, of sorts, so better late than never. Because of the Ryan cheating rumors, I knew it was a matter of time before they broke up. First of all, he only married her because she got pregnant. The shotgun wedding actually lasted for years, longer than I thought. Reese is a bit of a control freak, and I can see him chafing at that and her success (the Oscar curse much?) He married before he got a chance to sow his oats, he is too good looking unfortunately. That does not excuse his cheating at all though. What's really sad is that the happiest I've seen him look in years is in those clubbing pics (he looks high there too).
I am not surprised that Hollywood marriages don't last. Hollywood is a big lie first of all. Too often these ppl can't separate what's real and what's not real. But more importantly, they get married for lust and deep like instead of love. The foundation of their marriages is never based on GOd or his word. Most celebrities really don't acknowledge God let alone the Bible. Marriage is a commitment. When you become tired of being committed to the person, your commitment to God should still be there. If they want the best for their kids, they will pack up and move to a small town somewhere and live their lives. How much money do you really need. When will it all be enough? How wonderful it would be to totally dedicate yourself to the safety, maintenance, and success of your family instead of your career. It's funny, everyone wants the hollywood money, but they sell their souls to get it. Say what you want, but this country was built on solid, stable, God-fearing marriage and family.
Before I looked at these sites and the pictures, I was thinking about how we rarely see pictures of them together with their kids. We see them seperately with one or both of the kids and when we do see them together, they are at some event where it would be weird if they went alone. I won't say i'm not surprised because I'm shocked. I just hope Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner stay together...they are my next favorite couple next to Reese and Ryan.
Yeah, I did a search after I found out here and realized I was way behind. So sad. I knew they were talking about trouble, but everyone who is married has trouble. I was so hoping they would work it out.
oh no this country was
not built on god
this country was fine
till the people came from
overseas and slaughters raped and
took the first peoples land all in
the name of god
they took their children from their
homes and put them in schools away
for years to change their belifs
this country was built on money
"excuse me gold" and greed they
didnt care about human beings
how would you feel the government
coming to your home raping you
killing your husband your wife
your children even your dog
what is left they claim it push
you out with the whole neighborhood
making you walk in the cold with what
is on your back for miles and miles
talk about this country built on morals
yeah
think before
you write
geeze these comments are getting weird.
The public and the media have go to stop putting these people on a pedestal and giving them silly names like, "America's Sweetheart." Both Reese and Jennifer Aniston have publicly admitted to seeing therapists, and I think it's because of the pressure to be this "perfect" person they can't live up to. They're human beings and they have flaws just like the rest of us. I wish Reese well and hope she and the kids get through this difficult time.
I think it's just impossible for mediocre men to share a life with extremely successful women. Reese is a point in case, as many other Oscar-winning actresses before her have also shown. Get rid of the loser and soar to new heights (and solo).
I just can't believe this! I hope they will work it out.
no no tennessee : You sound like a typical cry baby liberal!! War is war & some side always losses! If any other countries people had come to "america" first they CERTAINLY would NOT be PAYING anyone ANY money because of their race. We are WAY TOO generous. And NO they DON'T deserve special treatment!
I feel sorry for Reese. She seems like a lovely southern lady & no matter how rich you are these things are hard. In some way's I think she's lucky, because alot of woman stay in bad marriages because the can't afford to leave if they want, or need to.

\=== They've have always seemed unhappy to me. and I have never seen them be affectionate with eachother. Ever.
This was no surprise to me. They had always talked about going to counseling.
They were so sweet and in love in "Cruel Intentions."

==== I always thought that what was perceived on-screen in that movie was how they actually were off-screen. I'm just a dreamer, I guess. Sigh.
I think she really loved him & he turned out to be a letdown cheater like soooo many men!
I think they were totally unsuited for each other and only made it seven years because they really loved their kids.
They have never once given a happy couple quote to a reporter. Never once did you hear either one of them say they were soulmates or they completed each other or any such gushiness it was always "marriage is hard work, we're just trying to figure it out". I always felt bad for both of them. Having divorced parents has to be better than having miserable parents.
