REPORTRyan Phillippe Invites Ex-Wife Reese Witherspoon to His Upcoming Wedding to Paulina Slagter
It seems Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon are quite the amicable exes!
According to a new report, Ryan, 41, has invited his ex-wife, Reese, 39, to his upcoming wedding to Paulina Slagter — and his fiancée is NOT pleased the actress may be a part of their special day.
“[Reese] still holds a special place in Ryan’s life as the mother to his children,” a source told OK! Magazine of the parents to Ava, 16, and Deacon, 12. “He not only considers her a friend, but also part of the family.”
