Reese Witherspoon Makes the Split Official

Reese Witherspoon has decided that a mere separation is not enough and has filed for divorce from Ryan Phillippe. As happy as I am about Britney & Kevin, this is one ending that truly does sadden me.

Reese Witherspoon has filed for divorce from Ryan Phillippe, citing irreconcilable differences. Papers were filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

In the court papers, Witherspoon, 30, asks for joint custody of the couple’s two children, Ava, 7, and Deacon, 3. The actress also seeks physical custody of her kids and that Phillippe, 32, be granted visitation rights.

Witherspoon also requests that the court not grant spousal support for Phillippe.

A rep for the couple first announced their separation on Oct. 30.

Though Phillippe hasn’t commented on reports that he and Australian actress Abbie Cornis (who costars with him in an upcoming film) had a relationship, he issued an exclusive statement to PEOPLE on Wednesday, saying, â€œIâ€™m not a perfect person, but Iâ€™m not guilty of a lot of the things I have been accused of. My priority is and always has been the health and safety of my family.” Reps vehemently deny other allegations of hard partying and drug use. source
