Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish have broken up after four years together. Ryan and Abbie’s relationship is thought to have hastened the end of his marriage to Reese Witherspoon. They met on the set of Stop Loss in 2006, when Ryan was still married. Perhaps proving the old adage “if he cheats with you…,” it was rumored back in December that Ryan was cheating on Abbie and macking on random women in clubs. It’s possible they were broken up back then, or that they were having problems and that Ryan was dealing with it the only way he knows how. Abbie’s spokesperson confirmed the breakup to People:
It’s over between actress Abbie Cornish and boyfriend Ryan Phillippe, her spokesperson confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.
“Abbie ended the relationship with Ryan and she moved out of their home,” the rep tells PEOPLE. On Sunday, the actress was spotted removing her belongings from the house she shared with Phillippe while he visited a friend with children Ava and Deacon.
The split follows months of tabloid speculation that Phillippe has been unfaithful to Cornish – regularly hitting the nightclubs and being linked to other women. When asked about the cause of the break-up and whether Phillippe cheated on Cornish, her rep replied, “No comment.”
Cornish, 27, and Phillippe, 35, met in 2006 on the set of the film, Stop-Loss, and survived intense media scrutiny following Phillippe’s divorce from Reese Witherspoon. Cornish has been in Vancouver for the last seven months shooting the film, Sucker Punch.
Reps for Phillippe could not be reached for comment.

This story makes it sound like Abbie had to go out of town for work and just naively expected Ryan to be faithful to her while she was away. These two are very private, so maybe they called it quits a while ago and Abbie’s PR people convinced her she needed to let the public know about it. Ryan and Abbie were photographed at an event together at the end of January, though, so I would assume the breakup was recent. I’m thinking Abbie got fed up with Phillippe’s passive aggressive behavior and cheating. Sounds just like what Reese had to deal with.

I always thought he’d been cheating on her quite blatantly for more than a year. He’s such a jackass.

Ryan has always been a douche, Reese should of never married him just because she got pregnant with Ava… and what happened to his career

He doesn’t seem to have a lot of redeeming qualities. Maybe he needs to figure out that he is not getting movie roles because he behaves like a douche.

He looks so sweet and caring, a cherub, that it’s hard to believe that he is such a douche and a cheater.

They never seemed right to me anyhow. I thought they always looked really akward when photographed together..
Moving on…

Hmmm, I guess once a cheater, always a cheater. If he cheated on his partner to with you, he will cheat on you with someone else.

I think he starts straying when his ego takes a few hits. When Reese married him, their careers were pretty much equal. Then Reese had a few major hits and became A list while he became a stay at home daddy. (Nothing wrong with that.) I just don’t think he can handle it when his partner is more successful than him. Abbey’s starting to make a name for herself.

Is it 1999 again? Who cares about Ryan Phillippe anymore?

How you get your man is how you lose your man…
And lin234, ITA: he cheats whenever his ego needs a boost because his career isn’t getting one!

Abbie is lucky to get out when she did, she’s still young. Get a STI test honey! That guy has a Ph.d in douchebaggery from The Jude Law College of Manwhores.I feel sorry for Reese and Ryan’s kids, they’ve both seen stepparents leave this year.

Reese and Ryan sure made cute kids together though. Hopefully little what’s his name won’t turn out like his father. Ryan has always looked like a douche to me. Ryan and Justin Timberlake have the same look going on. Wouldn’t trust either one as far as I could throw them. I always wondered what it is like for step-parents to leave their step-kids. I am a step-parent and I can’t imagine walking out on my man and leaving my adorable girls behind. That commitment to help him raise them is very strong for me.

She got tons of notice for ‘Bright Star’ and her career is taking off. That always seems to set him off.
It’s really sad, actually.

Never could stand these two. It’s just as much her fault as it is his fault that his former marriage didn’t work out. Oh well. You reap what you sow.

She should have changed her name a long time ego, Cornish is a type of chicken.
She was very blah in Bright Star, and he’s a moron, Reese Witherspoon is not a great catch either, he was conflicted about marrying her and should have walked away. Any relationship based on sex or immediate attraction rarely works, after 2 years the excitement wears off, and then you have nothing. This happens very often with actors. I’m surprised they lasted 4 years.

“That guy has a Ph.d in douchebaggery from The Jude Law College of Manwhores.”
My #1 favorite sentence of all time. Thanks, canadianchick.

LOL@ canadianchick: That guy has a Ph.d in douchebaggery from The Jude Law College of Manwhores.
It must kill him that both Reese and Abbie’s careers have flourished while his has been stagnant. The last good thing I saw him in was Breach with the AWESOME Chris Cooper.

I think he was probably faithful to her, up until her fame eclipsed his.
I really hate all this, “once a cheater always a cheater” stuff. I cheated on my then-boyfriend with my now-husband. Got caught and left him…now happily married. It wasn’t right, but I couldn’t even think about cheating on my husband. (Spare the shame-on-you. I know I should have handled it better and not cheated at all.)
Am I the only one?
Sometimes people grow up. Obviously not Ryan, it’s just that on every post with cheating this quote comes up or a variation.

Agreed Ana. I believe that people can make mistakes and it doesn’t mean that they are evil; people can change and grow and learn.

@Ana – no, you’re not the only one, and I don’t buy this “once a cheater” crap either. Seems like a lot of people have no sympathy for how it feels to be in a relationship and have feelings for someone else. Not everyone who cheats is a loose-knickered Tiger-brand scumbag who just needs to learn to keep their pants on. Feelings are complicated, relationships are complicated, and people really need to get a little less judgy and a little more understanding.
With Ryan and Abbie though, it just freaks me out how much she looks like Reese. The man has a type, I guess.

I have no sympathy for that woman.

As soon as she got Oscar buzz & made the first panel of the Vanity Fair cover, it was bound to be over. This guy is so lame and insecure.
I’m no Brad Pitt fan, but at least he is a rare Hollywood actor who can stand, or even seeks out, a girlfriend as high-profile (or more) as himself.

Thanks guys! It’s great to know my marriage isn’t doomed because I won’t be able to keep it in my pants!

@Nita, Ana, etc.
Yes, shit happens, people fall out in and out of love, but it takes a true, GOOD person to walk away from a situation that they know is bad.
Most relationships where there is infidelity don’t happen because people are unhappy or not in love anymore. It happens when an opportunity presents itself, and the grass looks greener, and instead of walking away and saying “No, this is bad” it’s “But I really want to”
It’s great that the guy is now your husband, and I wish you both the best. But the phrase you detest so much “Once a cheater, etc” has more to do with the fact that you had the mindset to put away hurting someone who cared about you and screwing them over. It’s that INTENT that makes people feel like cheaters CAN cheat again, if the situations are similar.
I could not date a guy who had cheated on his girlfriend(s). It shows that they were able to do something that icky. Why in the hell would I think I’m so “special”??
