It looks like it may be Splitsville for Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe.  The celeb couple officially announced their separation, but no plans for immediate divorce have been announced. 

Rumors about trouble in their relationship have circulated for a while now, but who don’t they circulate about in Hollywood?  The couple married young, as a matter of fact, Reese met Ryan when she was just 21 years old, and she’s now 30. 

They married about two years after they met, and they’ve been married now for 7 years, which is practically a record breaking marriage in today’s fickle Hollywood marriages and relationships.  They have two kids, Deacon and Ava. 

Rumors were fueled further after Reese openly admitted they seeked out couples counseling before and Ryan had hinted to distancing himself from his family on purpose for the filming of a new movie saying something about how it keeps more mystery in a relationship if you go your separate ways more often.  I have to say I agree with that, but when there are children involved, I’m not so sure that should be the way someone feels about their family. 

It’s too bad this adorable couple are going through a rough period, you really hoped they’d get through their marriage since they have two young kids, and they didn’t seem like the type of swingin’ partying couple that liked to party all night at Hollywood parties, they seemed more “grounded”. 

Another rumor about the tension is that it may have been due to Reese’s skyrocketing stardom and Ryan’s less fueled Hollywood career, although he did do some excellent work in movies, he has yet to achieve the same commercial and critical acclaim as his wife.
