Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have separated after seven years of marriage, PEOPLE has confirmed.
"We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally separate," a rep for the couple said in a statement released Monday. "They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time." TMZ.com first reported the couple's split.
Witherspoon, 30, and Phillippe, 32, have two children, daughter Ava, 7, and son Deacon, 3.
The couple met while working together on 1999's Cruel Intentions.
Witherspoon, who won an Oscar for her role in last year's hit Walk the Line, is next expected to appear in the drama Rendition. Phillippe is currently starring in the WWII drama Flags of Our Fathers.

That's been my opinion, too. It isn't anything against him, per se, as I think a lot of Hollywood leading men have this problem. Look at Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe, Julia Roberts and Benjamin Bratt (not married, but still same thing in my opinion). Even Nicole Kidman started to outshine Tom and then they broke up. The women win an Oscar and it seems to end their relationships. Don't know if that says something against the men, the women or society in general.

Answer:
A women winning an Oscar might as well just kiss her marriage goodbye! I really like her. So sad
