Ryan Philippe said that her daughter and son help him through his divorce from Reese Witherspoon.
Ryan Phillippe's daughter helped him through his divorce. The actor says his seven-year-old daughter, Ava, helped him cope with the breakdown of his marriage to Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon. Ryan told People magazine: "I know it sounds pathetic - I'm a 32-year-old guy but my seven-year-old daughter is getting me through the toughest time in my life, and that's beautiful."

Ryan revealed the couple's three-year-old son Deacon has also helped to cheer him up. He said: "He's fun, every day he says something that makes me laugh, warms my heart. It ain't easy. It's devastating but the bottom line is the focus on the children, and they're doing amazingly well and that's really all that matters." Ryan and Reese, 30, separated last October after seven years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. It was reported that Ryan had been having an affair with 24-year-old Australian actress Abbie Cornish. Both Ryan and Abbie denied they were ever romantically involved.
