Wow, shocking. Maybe her newfound rise to fame with the Oscar affected their marriage. Real shame though, they seemed like one of those rare genuinely happy Hollywood couples.

She was way too hot for his sorry ass anywayLOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon and "Flags of Our Fathers" star Ryan Phillippe are separating after more than seven years of marriage, their representatives said on Monday.
"We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally separate," their publicists said in a joint statement. "They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time."
Witherspoon, 30, and Phillippe, 32, reportedly met at her 21st birthday party before working together on the 1999 film "Cruel Intentions." They married in June of that year and have two children, 7-year-old daughter Ava and 3-year-old son Deacon.
The publicists gave no additional details about the split but the celebrity Web site TMZ.com, which broke the story, reported that Witherspoon has contacted the divorce lawyer who represented Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Marie Presley.
TMZ quoted one unidentified source as saying the breakup was not triggered by any single event but rather by " ulative" cir stances.
Witherspoon established herself as a major box-office draw as star of the 2001 comedy "Legally Blonde" and scored a follow-up hit with "Sweet Home Alabama."
She went on to win a best-actress Oscar earlier this year for her role as Johnny Cash's country-singing sweetheart, June Carter, in "Walk the Line."
Phillippe is currently starring in Clint Eastwood's latest film, "Flags of Our Fathers," as Navy Corpsman John "Doc" Bradley, one of the U.S. servicemen who raised the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima's Mount Suribachi during World War Two.

Sean Penn/Madonna syndrome: when the wife gets WAY more famous, the marriage usually suffers.
I was right about to post this. His fine ass is back on the market. On the contrary, ManuMania, HE was too hot for her. Good move for him.
How sad. They were cute together.
Is it wrong of me to view this as "good news"?
I too was hoping they'd last. But they do seem to be great parents.
Good luck to them.
That's sad.
Nah. One more hot girl and one more hot guy on the market...whichever your into.
. I just called Phillippe hot.
i could care less about this type of crap/news, however it caught my attention b/c one of my high school friends who now lives in LA and is a screen writer...said that he sometimes sees Phillippe hooking up with other girls at parties. sad...
Wow... I thought them and Will Smith/Jada Pinkett looked like the steadiest marriages in Hollywood.
Yeah, this is pretty suprising. She looks great.
First the SAHA thing and now this. Worst day ever.
