REESE AND RYAN: WAS THERE ANOTHER WOMAN?
Phillippe reportedly had a fling with ‘Stop Loss’ co-star Abbie Cornish
LOS ANGELES - To say that people were shocked by Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe’s sudden split would be an understatement.
But today, we find out what (or who) may have caused the breakup.
Just two weeks ago, Reese accompanied Ryan to his screening for “Flags of Our Fathers” in New York, where the couple reportedly fought bitterly at the after party.
Sadly, explosive new details are surfacing about Reese and Ryan’s troubled marriage, including reports of an alleged affair between Ryan and a young actress.
“Ryan did not go out of his way to hide the fact that he was having a fling with his co-star Abbie Cornish,” said Us Weekly’s Katrina Szish. “Besides the fact they were spotted making out in a sushi restaurant together, she was spotted many times leaving his loft apartment.”
According to Us Weekly, Ryan’s alleged affair with Cornish, a 24-year-old Australian actress, was common knowledge around Austin, Texas where the two were shooting the new film “Stop Loss.”
Abbie’s rep denies the affair and both Reese and Ryan’s people had no comment.
“Reese came across pictures of Ryan and Abbie together and she immediately confronted Ryan. He admitted having an affair. He said all of the rumors were true and said let’s just end this now,” Szish told Access Hollywood.
Abbie, who some say actually resembles Reese, is an actress on the rise. She can be seen opposite Russell Crowe in the romantic comedy “A Good Year,” which hits theaters next week, and opposite Heath Ledger in the sexual drama “Candy” which opens November 17th.
Reese and Ryan, who have a 7-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son, have been plagued by rumors of problems before. Just days after Reese’s big Oscar win in March, tabloids were reporting their marriage was in crisis.
“Reese has been holding onto this marriage for dear life, primarily because she loves her children,” Szish added.
Ironically, five out of the last eight best-actress Oscar winners split from their partners shortly after their big win.
This includes Hilary Swank, Halle Berry and Julia Roberts
Both Reese and Ryan have publicly admitted to receiving marriage counseling in the past.
“I don’t think there should be a social stigma attached to having therapy,” Reese told Access Hollywood in 2002. “It’s self improvement.”
In 1998, Access asked Reese if it was easier dating a fellow actor.
“I don’t know, all I can say is it’s great to be with Ryan. He understands me and I think that’s all you can ever ask for in a relationship,” she told us.

Poor guy. He must've been just a little bit depressed about his career. The only role I saw him take up lately was playing Norman Maine to Hilary's Esther Blodgett/Vicki Lester.
Swank Cites Lowe's 'Substance Abuse'
Jul 5, 12:35 PM EST
The Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Hilary Swank, who is divorcing actor-husband Chad Lowe, says Lowe's "substance-abuse problem" was partly responsible for the breakup of their marriage, in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine.
"I knew something was happening, but I didn't know what," the Oscar-winning actress tells the magazine in its August issue. "When I found out, it was such a shock because I never thought he'd keep something from me. And yet, on another level, it was a confirmation of something I was feeling that was keeping us from being completely solid."
Swank, 31, says Lowe is "sober now."
"It's an enormous obstacle to overcome, and he's doing it. He's living a sober life. I know how difficult it is, and I'm really proud of his sobriety," she tells the magazine.
A call by The Associated Press to Lowe's agent, David Rose, was not immediately returned Wednesday.
In May, an attorney for the couple confirmed to the AP that Swank and Lowe would divorce after eight years of marriage. The couple had announced their separation in January.
Swank tells Vanity Fair that Lowe's problem did not directly cause their split. "Would I say that his substance-abuse problem helped us? Absolutely not. ... I would say we grew apart."
Swank and Lowe, 38, who have no children, were married in 1997.
She famously forgot to thank a tearful Lowe while accepting her best actress Oscar in 2000 for "Boys Don't Cry." Last year, she won again for "Million Dollar Baby" — this time, thanking Lowe.
Lowe, who is the brother of actor Rob Lowe, won an Emmy Award in 1993 for his portrayal of AIDS patient Jesse McKenna on the TV series "Life Goes On."
Swank says she initiated the divorce, but "it ended up being mutual."
"It takes two to make something work or not work," she says. "I make mistakes; I'm not some squeaky-clean person here."
Swank says she's not ready to start dating again.
"The thought of it — of that whole world — I can't imagine it! That is not a world I've even thought about entering.
I can't imagine going out right now and trying to find someone else to be with. It seems like a scary place. I've been with Chad since I was 18 years old."

It was obvious from the word go that they would end up divorced. I feel that in a hetrosexual relationship if the woman fawns over the man the relationship will succeed. In their case it was Lowe who appeared to be more enamoured of Swank - a deadly edge to a relationship. The disparity in their careers was also probably too much of a cross to bear for Lowe.Damien wrote:Damn. Call me a hopeless romantic but I was convinced they'd work it out.
Personally, I was hoping for something more along the lines of Luise Rainer.Reza wrote:The Oscar curse???
