eese 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 when a mutual friend brought Phillippe to Witherspoon's 21st-birthday party. Two years later, after they had costarred in 1999's Cruel Intentions, he proposed. They married in June 1999 and had Ava three months later.

Why, why, why, why oh why?

First the tragedy of the Dixie Chicks, and now this.

I've got to leave before somebody tells me that Jennifer Anniston has broken up with Brad Pitt.

Nor shall I. I suspect that it will not only be anti-American and boring but that she will play the most boring kind of role possible in Hollywood: the encouraging, longsuffering, put-upon wife/girlfriend of a main character who is undergoing an existential conflict.

There will be the set-up scene of happy times, laughing and playfulness followed by the scene where she shows a prescient apprehension of her man's future, a scene in which the simmering tensions come to a head and she lectures him about his irresponsibility and what he needs to do to redeem himself, followed by either (1) a tender reconciliation scene or (2) a scene in which the two, although permanently estranged, express a wistful, regretful respect for one another.

I am available for rewrite, if the studio is lurking.

Technically, they are just separating.

I hope they work things out and get back together. We have too many divorces.

Why is it that so much of Hollywood fits into a such a stereotypical mold? This left wing, multiple-divorced, tree-hugging, drug injecting, swinging, vegan supping, bisexual, manic-depressive venom spewing demon from the Dawn of the Dead is all we see from this crowd. What a god awful life comes out of this culture of fast money and make believe.

I kinda had an idea this was coming. Been reading about it for a while that it was going to happen. I guess it's final now.

Because many men can't handle it when a woman is better and more successful than they are.

Maybe if he had read this article, they would still be married.

Some of the movies they starred in together were full of violence and sleaze that they were aiming at a teenage audience, the divorce couldn't have happened to a more deserving couple, no surprise that she was giving donations to Hillary Clinton.

yeah I don't know why you post these either.

It just brings out those wonderful human beings that want to wish hurt on others that inhabit this forum.

Reese Witherspoon is hot BTW.

Good thing I'm married. Otherwise I'd have both Reese and Sara Evans fighting over me.

"Her singing was AWESOME!"

Indeed it was. She won me over in that role.

"the divorce couldn't have happened to a more deserving couple,"

I'm sure they are better people than those who sit around reveling in others misfortunes. What a small person you are.
