Ryan Phillippe Still Torn Over Divorce from Reese Witherspoon

Phillippe opened up to W magazine, where he described the difficulty of splitting up with his wife after seven years of marriage.

Ryan Phillippe/ Reese Witherspoon"There were a good four or five months of not being able to get out of bed," says the 33-year-old actor. "It was the worst time in my life."

Now, over a year later, Ryan looks back at how he felt right after his split, describing it as "the darkest, saddest place I had ever been."

Ryan and Reese, Hollywood's former "IT" couple, shocked millions of people when they announced they were splitting in October of 2006.

At the time, many reports claimed that Ryan was having an affair with his then costar, Abbie Cornish, but Phillippe continues to deny the allegations.

"It was unfair for her to be called the names that she was, because it wasn't about that," he says. "I don't think an outside person can ever cause a divorce. I had difficulties in my relationship, and in my marriage, long before I ever met her."  

Ryan is currently single (despite rumors that he's dating Cornish) while Reese is dating fellow actor Jake Gyllenhaal.

Ryan and Reese have two children together: Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4.
