NO WAY!

Say it ain't so! Please! TMZ and US Weekly are reporting that Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have split. And I wish this was one of those, "US Weekly says they split but they really didn't" things, a la Vince and Jen, but it ain't:

"We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally separate," the couple's rep said in a statement released to TMZ on Monday. "They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time."

What about Eva and Deacon? TMZ learned that it was no one event that led to the split, but that it has been building. They tried counseling but it didn't work.

We should have known when we saw these pictures from the recent premiere of Flags of our Fathers. Reese certainly doesn't look very happy.

What a bummer. If Ryan and Reese can't make it, who can?
