According to several tabloids, a relationship between Phillipe and the Australian actress Abbie Cornish is the reason for the split of the celebrity couple, which was announced yesterday.
Phillipe and Cornish are rumoured to have become intimate during the filming of Stop Loss in Texas.
Witherspoon has reportedly discovered secret messages on Phillipe’s Blackberry.
In a communication released yesterday from a spokesperson for the 24 year-old Australian actress, Cornish denies the stories, saying that their relationship was purely platonic and that the two were simply co-stars.
Witherspoon, 30, and Phillipe, 32, met on the birthday of the actress in 1997. They were married in 1999, and have two children, Ava, 7, and Deacon, 3.

Barker added, "I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and I’m going to miss it."
The star added that he now finds it difficult to do the job. "I’m just reaching the age where the constant effort to be there and do the show physically is a lot for me," he said. "I might be able to do the show another year, but better (to leave) a year too soon than a year too late."
The accident took place last week in Los Angeles. A spokesperson for the star told MTV that a truck collided with Cornell’s motorcycle last Tuesday.
The singer suffered only cuts and bruises, but the motorcycle was damaged beyond repair.
The former Soundgarden singer’s accident did not prevent him from working just a few hours later. Cornell will be releasing a solo disc in the beginning of next year.
