Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's divorce final

Actors' split formalised

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's divorce has been made final.

The couple met at Reese's 21st birthday party in 1997 and married two years later, after co-starring in movie Cruel Intentions.

After the split, there were rumours that Ryan, 33, had had an affair with Australian actress Abbie Cornish, a claim both sides have denied.

Reese, 31, filed for divorce on 8 November, 2006, citing irreconcilable differences, and has applied for custody of their two children: daughter Ava, 8, and son Deacon, 3, with Ryan getting full visitation rights.

Since the split Reese has been linked to Rendition co-star Jake Gyllenhaal.
