The whole world watched the development of relations between young stars for several years, but the ending, unfortunately, did not turn out to be happy. Why did Reese and Ryan break up, what is known about the children born in this marriage?

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe: Acquaintance

The first meeting of the actors took place at a party that Reese threw in honor of her 21st birthday. Communication began with Ryan's indecent joke, to which the girl responded with a counter taunt. It might seem that Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe did not like each other right away. But in reality on young man made a huge impression fragile blonde with a sharp tongue. Two days after the fateful meeting, he sent her a message containing an apology, e-mail. The message did not go unanswered.

For a month, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe called each other daily and exchanged messages. Then the actress went to where at that moment her chosen one was filming in the film "I Know What You Did Last Summer." By the time they returned to Los Angeles, they had already started dating. Reese jokingly referred to Ryan as her birthday present.

Development of a relationship

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe already met when they were offered to play a couple in love in the film Cruel Intentions. No wonder their on-screen romance looked so convincing. In the first months of the relationship, the actors practically did not appear in public, ignoring numerous invitations to pretentious Hollywood parties. The lovers preferred to spend time alone with each other. They walked in the park, went shopping together, or stayed at home, spending time watching videos.

Of course, from time to time, lovers told friends and the press about romantic moments, which were many at the beginning of a 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 liked to pamper his chosen one with flower bouquets, preferring to give yellow roses. Reese, on the other hand, was happy to cook spaghetti with pickled chicken for her boyfriend - a dish that Philip is crazy about.

Wedding

Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon got married in 1999. The love story says that the actor made an offer to his girlfriend after learning about her pregnancy. He gave Reese not only a ring from white gold, adorned with diamonds, but also a charming puppy belonging to the Chihuahua breed. The doubts that Witherspoon experienced about whether it was too early for her to give birth to a child dissipated.

marriage star couple took place immediately after the premiere of "Cruel Intentions". By Hollywood standards, the wedding celebration was modest, but Reese and Ryan did not want to arrange a show for onlookers from an important ceremony for them. In 1999, a daughter, Ava Elizabeth, appeared in the family, and already in 2003, a son, Deacon. Later it turned out that conflicts in the family began even before the birth of the second child. The birth of her son did not help smooth the situation, she continued to heat up.

Divorce

It seemed to others that nothing could spoil the relationship of such a wonderful couple as Ryan Philippe and Reese Witherspoon. The divorce came as a complete surprise even to close friends and relatives of the star couple. The decision to leave was made by the actors seven years later. living together, the presence of two small children did not become an obstacle for them.

The love of Reese and Ryan began beautifully, but the young people, unfortunately, failed 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 breakup. For example, journalists assumed that Reese decided to leave her husband after learning about his affair with a young actress.

According to Philip, main reason parting was youthful, because he and Reese were in their early twenties when they started dating. He also accuses his ex-wife of being too passionate about his career, unwillingness to pay enough attention to his family. Reese has her own point of view on the reason for the divorce from ex-husband. She accuses Ryan of having a drug problem and being jealous of her successful career.

Children

During the divorce proceedings, the question of who the children will remain with was also raised. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe fought for the right to raise their son and daughter. As a result, the court decided on joint custody. The children stayed with their mother, but the father was allowed to see Ava and Deacon regularly. This decision still does not suit the actress, who is trying to limit the time of communication. ex-spouse with children, believing that he is a bad influence on them.

Ava has already turned into a 16-year-old blonde beauty who dreams of following in her mother's footsteps and acting in films. Deacon, who recently turned 13, has not yet decided on his future profession.

Stylish and graceful 39-year-old "Legally Blonde" and part-time mother of many children, is an good example not only for their children, but also for fans. Having passed a difficult stage in her life, she found the strength to believe in a new relationship, which made it possible to again feel those pleasant moments of bearing a new life.

Reese Witherspoon has two children from her first and unsuccessful marriage. The eldest child in the family, Ava Elizabeth Philip, who recently turned 16 years old, became the main mother's assistant. She is not only a loving daughter, but also a caring sister to her brothers, 9-year-old Deacon and 3-year-old Tennessee. Recall that the first two children of Reese Witherspoon were born in their first marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe, and their marriage lasted 9 years.

As a child, Ava, the daughter of Reese Witherspoon, although she was very, however, having matured, she became a real copy of her. Seeing the two of them, I rather believe that they are sisters. In addition, the actress herself is short, and 16-year-old Avi has already managed to catch up with her star mother.

Most recently, Reese Witherspoon decided to please her fans and shared a beautiful photo where she is with her grown-up daughter. It is worth noting that Ava has become even more beautiful and feminine. And unlike last year, when the girl began to experiment with dyeing her hair in bright colors, new hairstyle and a light brown color with a bluish ombre suits her very well.

Husband and children Reese Witherspoon

They say that stars do not get along with unfamous spouses. However, the Reese family proved otherwise. Hollywood acting agent Jim Toth became a woman with broken hearted real support. In addition, he is a loving and caring father to all three children. But for a woman there is nothing more important than to love and be loved.

Reese Witherspoon with children from marriage with Ryan Phillippe - daughter Ava and son Deacon

In 1999, actress Reese Witherspoon married fellow worker Ryan Phillippe, whom she met at a party in honor of her 21st birthday. In the same year, the couple had their first child, a daughter, Ava Elizabeth Philip.

My daughter's name is Ava, like the actress Ava Gardner, because she was the only woman that could break Frank Sinatra. So the idea of ​​this name seems very cool to me,

The happy father told reporters. Later, when Ava turned 15, Philip even admitted that it was the birth of his beloved daughter that opened his eyes to the world:

15 years ago I learned what true love. That day I was filming last scene for the film "The Way of the Weapon". The helicopter was waiting for me to take me from the "Mexican brothel" to the Cedars Sinai clinic in Beverly Hills. My stomach was curling up into a knot, I was exhausted and dirty - all stained with fake blood and shards of glass. The helicopter found a place to land, and I rushed to clean myself and sterilize. I did this in order to personally stand by my wife's side when my baby girl first sees this light.

Philip's wife, Reese Witherspoon, also admitted more than once in an interview that it was the birth of Ava that became a turning point in her life:

I felt insecure before I became a mother. It helped me feel like a woman. I wanted to develop better side for the sake of my daughter. Before Ava was born, it seemed to me that I constantly had to prove something to someone. When I gave birth, I became calmer.

But even ideal, at first glance, star family failed to escape the crisis. The divorce of Philip and Witherspoon became a thunder among clear sky. In 2007, the couple broke up, but kept warm relationship. Ava stayed with her mother, but continues to see Ryan at every opportunity.

And these dates bring Ava special pleasure, because the daughter and father are very close. This is evidenced not only by their happy smiles, but also by the style of clothing. Like dad, the girl likes to wear comfortable printed T-shirts, jeans, sneakers and rough boots. By the way, Ava wears the latter not only with trousers, but also with romantic skirts, creating images in the best traditions of grunge style.

The girl, in principle, does not wear high heels, although her mother loves such shoes. But that doesn't mean Ava didn't borrow anything from Witherspoon's style. Let Reese shine on the red carpet in pumps and evening dresses, in ordinary life she follows the casual style. Both Reese and Ava love loose-fitting sundresses, minimalist sweaters and shorts. In the latter, the girl seems to be ready to walk all summer. And she can do it with every right - her legs pumped up from running can be considered real pride.

Another detail in respect of which the tastes of mother and daughter are the same is striped outfits. Both Reese and Ava have a huge number of T-shirts, tops and sweatshirts in a marine style. If the stripes get bored, they move on to clothes with small polka dots.

While Ava is 15 years old - a transitional age, during which the soul asks for experiments with appearance. The girl demonstrated the first of them the other day, appearing at the airport with pink hair. It remains only to wait for Ava to want to go on the red carpet in a ball gown and boats, to match the star mother!

Their incredible similarity is the reason for many discussions in social networks. Ava Witherspoon recently celebrated her eighteenth birthday and blew up the Internet with her pictures, in which she, like two drops, looks like her mother. But a loving mother does not lag behind her daughter at all and looks so fresh and young that it is sometimes impossible to distinguish them.

A little about the famous mother

Reese was born to a military doctor and nursing teacher. After some time, the family moved from to Germany - on duty of the father. A few years later, the parents of the future star returned to the United States and settled in the state of Tennessee, where the girl graduated from the prestigious women's school Harpet Hall. By the way, Reese studied very well and loved to read a lot, and this habit has remained with the girl to this day.

Reese really wanted to be like her parents, but once starring in a commercial, she fell in love with acting forever. After school, she entered the Institute at the Faculty of English Literature, but very soon realized that she could not live without cinema and filming. Therefore, she began to actively participate in various castings. Soon, for the first time in the movie, Reese appeared in the film "The Man in the Moon". It has received very positive reviews from film critics.

Once, in 1997, Reese celebrated her 21st birthday, and on her own holiday she met a handsome actor and model Ryan Phillippe. Thanks to their acquaintance, Reese got a role in the Cruel Intentions, after which she became a recognizable actress. And two years later, in September 1999, their baby Ava Elizabeth Philippe was born, who over the years is becoming more and more like a mother.

Reese Witherspoon's daughter

Ava Elizabeth was born on September 9, 1999. It happened at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Beverly Hills. As Ava's father recalls, that day he starred in the film "The Way of the Arms" and was tired and covered in fake blood when he found out that his wife was giving birth. The helicopter instantly rushed him to the clinic, and the actor quickly put himself in order to be in time for the birth of his beloved daughter.

Apparently because Reese's favorite singer is Frank Sinatra, Ava was named after his lover - famous actress Ava Gardner, who became popular thanks to the film adaptation of Hemingway's short story "The Killers". Reese says that she named her daughter that because she was a strong and strong-willed woman, and she was the only one who managed to break Sinatra's complex character.

And what does baby Ava do?

Such Ava Elizabeth Philip grew up - a firm and independent girl. Although a mother can fully provide for her daughter, Ava still tries to work and support herself. Every summer she works in a pizzeria, and her parents fully support her daughter, because this is how her character is tempered.

In addition to work, Ava Witherspoon spends a lot of time with friends. By the way, the girl drives a Volkswagen Jetta. But despite the rest, Ava does not forget about her studies. She worked hard to prepare for college. Now the girl is studying at New York University, which she entered without the help of her parents.

But, whatever one may say, the popularity of famous parents was reflected in their daughter. Ava has about 400 thousand followers on Instagram. Fans adore the girl for her independence and sophisticated style. Indeed, Ava has a special taste in clothes, and according to her mother, she always advises what to wear Reese for this or that occasion.

Another of Ava's virtues is that she is an excellent photographer and has a good artistic talent. She posts many of her drawings on Instagram. By the way, Ava became interested in equestrian sports. She also loves the work of the Beatles and

Ava is a wonderful daughter and caring sister

Ava Witherspoon is the eldest daughter of Reese and Ryan. Ava's brother, Deacon, was named after Ryan's distant ancestor, Deacon Phillip, a famous baseball player in the 1900s. The second, already half-brother of Ava - Tennessee - the son of Reese and Jim Toth, was named after Reese's favorite playwright - Tennessee Williams. She also has a six-year-old sister, Kailani, who was born from the union of Ryan and the actress.

In a word, with all his younger brothers and sister, Ava Elizabeth Philip manages to find time for communication, and she does it in a unique way, because they so want to be like their older sister.

Reese Witherspoon is happy to talk to reporters about her daughter, and always says that Ava is much cooler than her. According to her, Ava is a very advanced girl and is well versed in current trends fashion and style. They spend a lot of time together and talk for hours about various women's little things.
