Ryan Phillippe has spoken out following his shocking split from wife Reese Witherspoon last week, declaring he's "not guilty of a lot of things" he has been accused of.



Ryan spoke about the split for the first time last week in an interview with People magazine, saying: “I’m not a perfect person, but I’m not guilty of a lot of the things I have been accused of. My priority is and always has been the health and safety of my family.”

His spokesperson added that Ryan’s rumoured preference for partying wasn’t a cause for the split: “Look, he went out, she went out, it wasn’t a point of conflict.”

Witherspoon has officially filed for divorce from husband Ryan Phillippe, just after they separated.

Reese, as the petitioner, is asking the court to grant the couple joint legal custody of their children, Ava and Deacon, with Reese requesting primary physical custody. Reese is also asking for “exclusive use of the family residence.”

Following the divorce announcement, tabloids began to speculate Phillippe had cheated on his Oscar winning wife with his Stop Loss co-star Abbie Cornish, which the Australian actress has vigorously denied.
