Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philip: Acquaintance
The first meeting of the actors took place at a party that Reese hosted in honor of her 21st birthday. The conversation began with an indecent joke of Ryan, to which the girl responded with an oncoming taunt. It might seem that Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philip did not immediately like each other. But in reality, the fragile blonde with a sharp tongue impressed the young man. Two days after the fateful meeting, he sent her an e-mail message containing an apology. The message did not go unanswered.
For a month, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillip called up and exchanged messages daily. Then the actress went to North Carolina, where at that moment her chosen one starred in the film "I Know What You Did Last Summer." By the time they returned to Los Angeles, they had already begun dating. Reese jokingly called Ryan a birthday present.
Development of a relationship
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philip had already met when they were offered to play a couple in love in the movie Cruel Intentions. Not surprisingly, their “on-screen” novel looked so convincing. In the first months of the relationship, the actors practically did not appear in public, ignoring the numerous invitations to the pathos of Hollywood parties. Lovers preferred to spend time alone with each other. They walked in the park, indulged in shopping together or stayed at home, spending time watching the video.
Of course, from time to time, lovers told friends and the press about romantic moments, which were many at the beginning of the relationship. For example, it is known that they competed for the right to cook breakfast, which was then served to the second half in bed. Ryan loved pampering his beloved with flower bouquets, preferring to give yellow roses. Reese was happy to cook marinated chicken spaghetti, a dish that Philip was crazy about.
Wedding
In 1999, Ryan Philip and Reese Witherspoon married. A love story says that an actor made an offer to his girlfriend after learning about her pregnancy. He presented Reese not only with a white gold ring adorned with diamonds, but also with a charming puppy belonging to the Chihuahua breed. The doubts Witherspoon had with regard to whether it was too early for her to give birth to a child were dispelled.
The wedding of a star couple took place immediately after the premiere of "Cruel Intentions." By Hollywood standards, the wedding was modest, but Reese and Ryan did not want to make an outlook out of the ceremony important to them. In 1999, the daughter of Ava Elizabeth appeared in the family, and already in 2003 - the son of Deacon. Later it turned out that conflicts in the family began even before the birth of the second child. The birth of a son did not help smooth the situation, she continued to glow.
Divorce
It seemed to those around that nothing could spoil the relationship of such a wonderful couple as Ryan Philip and Reese Witherspoon. Divorce was a complete surprise even for close friends and relatives of the star couple. The decision to part was made by the actors after seven years of marriage, the presence of two young children did not become an obstacle for them.
The love of Reese and Ryan began beautifully, however, unfortunately, young people did not manage to part beautifully. The divorce process took about a year, during which the former lovers spoke very impartially about each other, defending their own innocence. Of course, various rumors spread about the reason that led to the gap. For example, reporters suggested that Reese decided to leave her husband after learning about his affair with the young actress Abby Cornish.
If you believe the words of Philip, the main reason for the separation was youth, because he and Reese were a little over twenty when they started dating. He also accuses the ex-spouse of excessive passion for a career, unwillingness to pay enough attention to the family. Reese has her own point of view on the reason for the divorce from her ex-husband. She accuses Ryan of having drug problems, as well as envy of her successful career.
