There are so many rumors about Ryan Phillippe’s love life, past and present, that you would think the dude has a jock of gold. But honestly, Ryan has only been in two major relationships in the past decade – his marriage to Reese Witherspoon, and his three/four-year relationship with Abbie Cornish. Now, he could totally have been screwing around on one of both of them – those are the rumors, at least. Persistent rumors about his wandering eye and wandering wang. And Abbie Cornish didn’t really do anything to dismiss those rumors when she announced that she dumped Ryan in February, after months of rumors that he was screwing around on her.

But now Ryan is trying to get “the truth” out in a new interview he did on Howard Stern’s show. Ryan has been on Stern’s show before, which always makes me hate Ryan. Ryan loves to gossip. Ryan loves to dish about his relationships and costars. And this interview was no different. According to Ryan, Abbie didn’t dump him, it was mutual. Oh, and those persistent rumors that Abbie was “the other woman” when he and Reese split? Ryan says: “I’m tired of getting sh-t on. I don’t feel like I deserve it. Things happen! How many people have you broken up with over your life?” Umm…

When a rep for actress Abbie Cornish told UsMagazine.com in February that she had broken up with Ryan Phillippe, at least one person was surprised: Ryan Phillippe.

“I have a new rule: not to date anyone who has a publicist,” Phillippe quipped during a Monday radio interview on Howard Stern’s Sirius XM radio show. The actor explained that he and Cornish had privately ended their four-year romance face-to-face — but no one had warned him of an impending public statement claiming Cornish had dumped him.

“Who announces a breakup? I don’t understand that! There’s no need for that.” Phillippe added, “I’ve been dumped on in the press for relationship stuff since Reese [Witherspoon] and I divorced.” Phillippe and Cornish began dating in 2006, around the same time as his split with Witherspoon after seven years of marriage.

“I’m tired of getting s*** on,” Phillippe, 35, told Stern. “I don’t feel like I deserve it. Things happen! How many people have you broken up with over your life?”

The actor and Witherspoon now share joint custody of their daughter Ava, 10, and son Deacon, 6 — and, he said, “it’s gotten to a place where we’re great friends and great co-parents.” Such great friends, in fact, that they console each other after breakups.

“After I had my breakup, she called, and after she did, I called.” Witherspoon, 34, called it quits with Jake Gyllenhaal in early December after nearly three years together.

Phillippe didn’t have much to say about Witherspoon’s new beau, Jim Toth. “I trust her to make the right decisions around our children,” he said simply “I hope she feels the same way.”

He points out that his kids don’t get too invested in their parents’ dating lives. “If the kids care about mom dad, and if that’s consistent and they feel protected that way, they don’t they don’t really care so much about who the parent is dating. They just don’t.”

To Howard Stern’s chagrin, Phillippe also reveals that he and his ex-wife have not had “ex sex.” “That hasn’t happened,” he told the shock jock.

Since the Cornish split, he said he’s “enjoying the single-ish” life, although he calls himself a “serial monogamist…Either a girl is worth spending all of my time with or none of my time.” He shoots down rumors that he’s hooked up with Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks, Lindsay Lohan or Jessica Simpson. “I’ve never met Jessica Simpson!”

Before the inevitable “but he did that in 2006” and “but she said this in 2007” stuff, let me point out that Reese has moved on, visibly, vocally, emotionally, physically and mentally. She’s not out there talking about taking four years to do “spring cleaning” or demanded that everyone form a goddess circle around her yoga mat. She’s never disrespected Abbie, or Ryan for that matter. So Reese has never “sh-t” on Ryan, at least in public. Is Ryan claiming Reese has? I don’t think he is, honestly. I think he’s talking about us, out here, celebrity gossipers, who “sh-t” on him for probably screwing around on Reese. Personally, though, I think he’s a douche because A) He seems to screw around on every girl he’s with, not just Reese and B) I don’t like adult men who go on Howard Stern to complain about their women they’ve had relationships with. It’s pathetic and petty, and it makes him seem like he‘s desperate to have any kind of relevancy. And you know the simple fact that Ryan answered the “ex sex” question is going to piss off Reese.
