Reese Witherspoon was “humiliated” by her divorce from Ryan Phillippe.
The ‘Walk The Line’ actress has admitted she reached the lowest point of her
life when she split from the ‘Breach’ actor in 2006 after seven years of
marriage.
She said: “It was very humiliating and very isolating. But, by the way, if
it’s not painful, maybe it wasn’t the decision to marry to begin with. Those
are the appropriate emotions.”
The 32-year-old star – who is currently dating 29-year-old actor Jake
Gyllenhaal – still feels confused by the end of her marriage which was
finalised in 2007.
She explained: "When people get in your face and say, 'This will pass,' you
think, ‘Are they crazy? ‘I'm never going to feel any better than I feel
right this minute and nothing's ever going to make sense again.’ And I still
have moments where I'm like, ‘Nothing's ever going to make sense again.’ "
Following the split, Reese - who has two children Ava, nine, and
four-year-old Deacon with her ex-husband – did everything she could to stop
the break-up turning nasty.
She told Elle magazine: “Blame, blame, blame. It's a really easy thing to
do, and I'm certainly guilty of it. You have to look at yourself and go,
'What part of this do I need to own? Which part of this is my
responsibility?’ And that's the painful work that you have to go through to
hopefully get some real life knowledge out of it."
But the experience hasn’t put Reese off love forever and since meeting her
boyfriend Jake on the set of their 2007 movie ‘Rendition’ the blonde beauty
admits she is really happy.
She said: “He’s fabulous. He really is a fantastic guy.”
