Reese and Ryan sadly announced their split earlier this week, so it's no surprise they have landed a ton of magazine covers this weekend. Since we heard the news on Monday, we have learned more about them fighting in public, and then Reese reading Ryan's Blackberry to reveal a third party may be involved. Life & Style reveals that Reese was worried about Ryan cheating while he was away on set. They also predict that she has the upper hand and is calling the shots. US Weekly is claiming that Ryan was too open with his cheating and when Reese found out he did not deny it. As for that other woman, well her name is Abbie Cornish and you can see pics of them on the set by clicking here.

UPDATE - No pre-nup. TMZ reports that Reese could lose millions in the divorce and that while they are trying to keep things peaceful for the kids, there is "no talk of reconciliation and that divorce papers are merely a matter of time."

Here's a teaser of what you'll see in this weekend's issue....

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe were always open about their struggles as a couple, admitting to relationship counseling and working hard to make their marriage succeed. But Ryan’s actions didn’t always match his words. “I once spotted him at a party with some guy friends,” says a pal of Ryan’s, “and they were flirting with girls all night. He was not acting like a married man.”

An insider recalls seeing Ryan at an LA bash, “mingling with Lakers cheerleaders, Playboy models and bikini-clad beauties. He looked like a single guy on the prowl.”

Cheating fears
Multiple insiders tell Life & Style that one of the main problems in the marriage was Ryan’s constant flirting with other women — and Reese’s fear that it went beyond that. “Hearing rumors that Ryan was cheating made Reese seriously question the stability of her marriage,” says a friend of hers. “It hurt and angered her beyond belief. And she was mortified that everyone was speculating whether Ryan had in fact cheated. It was the ultimate indignity.”

In the past month, adds the friend, Reese, 30, kept hearing stories that Ryan was flirting on the Texas set of his latest movie, about a soldier returning home from Iraq. “She hated being in LA with the kids wondering if Ryan was behaving,” says the friend.

No matter how often Ryan, 32, proclaimed his innocence, Reese had trouble believing him. “She wanted to trust Ryan,” says his friend. “But it’s hard when they spend a lot of time apart.”

More on how they fell apart after the Oscar win and what the final days were like at Ryan's NYC premiere. It's so sad and we hate to think Ryan broke her heart. He used to be the sexiest dad and husband but now his image is tainted. I hope we do learn the truth in this mess sooner or later so we don't have to jump to conclusions even if the pieces are coming together the way they are.

    Boo! They were one of my fave couples who seemed to be able to balance life and work and keep semi private with no scandals! I hope there was no cheating involved!

    They married too young AND it was a "shotgun" wedding. Not the best way to start out, especially in Hollywood.
    (jmo of course)
    We'll never know the entire TRUE story but it sounds like he wants his bachelor days back. Very sad since he now has TWO kids.

    Does anyone know "The other woman?" I heard on the radio this morning that it's someone who co-starred in a movie with him.

    I don't ever remember them being called in the media "fairy tale" until it was over and excuse me it would have to be a very modern fairy tale considering she was already pregnant when they got married! More like dignified southern shotgun with two people who genuinely seemed to love one another. Or maybe fairy tale is now equal to divorce..is that the new definition (ex: Diana and Charles, Fergie and Andrew, Brad & Jen, Tom and Nicole, ect ect ect)

    I loved them as a couple don't get me wrong, but I dispise the tabloid spin to all things Hollywood!

    Yea, last night on ET, They stated that there was no prenup. They got married at a young age, back when Reese wasn't making the money she makes today. She makes 5 times the money he does.

    Many times people cheat as a way to exert power. A lot of times you'll see the person they're cheating with is NOT cute at all ex: Hugh Grant cheated on Liz Hurley with Devine Brown Barf! she was gross. Jude Law's nanny was nothing special. I don't think it's a matter of WOW I can't control myself around you (although sometimes that IS the case) It's just not always that simple. IMO.

    Jennifer76 - I totally agree with you! I hope he wasn't the cheating jerk that they are saying, but it doesn't look good. I feel really bad for Reese. To not only be betrayed by your husband, but to have it plastered on tabloids for the nation to read!

    I agree blondesugar... If he did cheat, it probably was not because the other girl is more attractive (he thought), but because Ryan had issues with the relationship with his wife

    Isn't it interesting that the track record for women winning Oscars isn't a good one? As soon as they get one, they're divorcing? Julia Roberts, Hilary Swank, Halle Berry, now Reese?!

    Sweet C - I agree with that. But I'd also say that real men don't cheat no matter how unhappy they are. There are better options.

    I searched for info & photos of the abbie girl yesterday after i found out what her name was & it seriously turned my stomich that he'd degrade like that...

    Thanks Pop for putting photos of her on here so we can also see her..

    I seriously hope ryan didn't stoop to that level of cheating...
    I don't like to assume.. i'd rather have all the info before i go running my mouth about something...

    but, regardless, poor reese & children.

    In this day and age, with marriage numbers being in the gutter as it is, separating finances is the way to go. It's very unromantic, but the truth is, you have to prepare for every scenario. In my experience, couples who take the time to work out separate finances and don't get married, but live common-law, their relationships tend to work out better than people who just fall into marriage and don't think about all their options first.

    If his cheating is true, I say boycott his new movie. I for one will not go see it. I am so tired of hearing about cheating married men with children. Get a divorce then go out and have your fun. Otherwise, you are just a selfish, cruel and sorry excuse for a parent. Same goes for Abbie if she is the other woman. She knew he had kids, what a selfish horrible woman.

    Well there are always two sides to every story... What was it about reese that ryan felt the need to mess around on her? All this talk about her having more money , more power her oscar win is just BS...theres something else to this. imo of course

    i've been thinking about this for the past 2 days! this is on my mind more than any other celebrity breakup i can remember. if it's true that he cheated then he will go the way of jude law to me; no longer sexy/appealing/interesting falling into the cheater/asshole category. damn these men that can't keep their pants on! hope he thinks about this at thanksgiving and christmas when he talks to his kids on the phone and his daughter says "why aren't you coming home daddy?"

    I got the gruesome details on Best Week Ever

    Someone posted a comment that I could never match about how everything would be cut down the middle & Ryan would get his half...

    "He already got half. He bagged some no-name chick who is half as famous and half as pretty as he is. Now he doesn’t have to worry about being half as famous as his wife is and can enjoy the rest of his life being half a parent to his kids on half the weekends of every month.

    He’s half a man (but a whole douche), that’s for sure."

    The "other woman" is such a trade DOWN!! I think that Reese is one of the most stunning women is showbiz and she seems like such a great mom and all around excellent women. I know relationships have problems, but geeeeze I agree with everyone saying - get a divorce first THEN sleep around!
    I took a poll at work and asked the guys who they thought was cuter - every man chose the other woman!! I was shocked!

    Nice comments ososweet and jennifer76!!!
