Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe seemed to have the perfect marriage, as well as successful careers and two adorable kids Ava and Deacon. But after winning the Best Actress Oscar for Walk The Line, has Reese fallen foul of the famous Oscar curse? Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Helen Hunt, Halle Berry and Hilary Swank all won the Best Actress gong and then went on to split from their respective partners. Meanwhile, rumours are circulating that Reese's soon-to-be-ex husband Philippe had an affair with 24-year-old Australian actress and co-star Abbie Cornish, who he met on the set of independent film Stop Loss. Philippe's career nosedived as his wife's rocketed after their joint success in cult teen film Cruel Intentions, provoking rumours of friction between the pair. A source said that Reese had no choice but to agree to end their marriage after Ryan admitted to the affair. She's seeing a top divorce lawyer. |
