Reese Witherspoon opens up on divorce

Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon has said her divorce from Ryan Phillippe was “humiliating and very isolating”.

Reese Witherspoon has discussed her 2005 divorce from Ryan Phillippe and new man Jake Gyllenhaal. "It was very humiliating and very isolating. But, by the way, if it's not painful, maybe it wasn't the right decision to marry to begin with. Those are the appropriate emotions," Reese told Elle magazine. "When people get in your face and say, 'This will pass,' you think, Are they crazy?" Witherspoon goes on. "I'm never gonna feel any better than I feel right this minute and nothing's ever gonna make sense again. And I still have moments where I'm like, Nothing's ever gonna make sense again." Before explaining how she tries not to blame Phillippe for their split. "It's a really easy thing to do, and I'm certainly guilty of it," she admitted. "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." And as for new beau Jake? "He's fabulous. He really is a fantastic guy."
