47. It's so sad - but with the divorce rate so high these days, why do we think Hollywood stars will be any different?

I am married and my husband and I work really hard on our marriage - if you're not willing to be that committed to it, you should get out for both your sakes.

Maybe they were too young when they got together? Or maybe they could still figure it out? Let's hope so for the children!

48. I knew they'd been denying "split" rumors for several months, but I really did think they were getting counseling and were going to make it. However... they aren't divorced yet! There's still hope... there's always hope. I hate to see families destroyed.

49. It's rather comical to me how everyone acts as if they know either Reese or Ryan. I admit I always thought they seemed like the perfect couple. Meaning they both are great looking, have beautiful children, and always seemed happy together, so they had the appearance of a perfect family, but I can not pretend that I know what kind of person either of them were. I'm sure that for most celebrities the way we see them is not entirely how they truly are, they may be either much better or much worse.

50. It cracks me up that you people actually talk like you know these two....stating their personality differences. LOL...people, they are actors and the only thing you know about them is what they portray on the big screen. It's like me commenting on your divorce since I read your post in the BLOG! Get real.

52. That is so sad for the children......the children get hurt the most.......
maybe they just need a separation for a while and just go back to dating
and some marriage counseling might help.
Marriage is a life-time commitment and God expects us to honor our marriage vows unless there is adultery involved..... Divorce should not even be considered.
Perhaps one of the greatest deterrants to divorce is to see how much God really hates it. God says in the Holy Bible 'For I hate divorce!' (Malachi 2:14-16)

53. Though it's really none of our business, it's sad to hear about this. I thought they were a great couple with a happy family. I thought they'd stay together forever because they weren't like other Hollywood couples. Hopefully there won't be any bitter feelings or explosive headlines like the media loves to write. It's also too bad that people focus on her success vs. his when it shouldn't be about that. Both seem like a great people.

58. No one knows exactly what all happened. But #27 & #28 you are very naive if you think money did not play a role! It played a role with Jess/Nick, Hillary/Chad, Jennifer G/ Scott Foley, Jennifer Aniston/ Tate Donovan, Jennifer Lopez/ her two husbands. It's gonna play a role with Brit/K Fed. In Hollywood marriages (or relationships) in which the wife is super famous/rich while the husband is not ,don't fare too well. Now Julia R/ the camera man might be the exception but hell who knows what's going on in that house. They might be on the verge of separation too!!

59. I am very saddened to hear about Ryan and Reese's separation. I have always thought they were committed to each other and to their children. I hope the separation gives them some time away from each other and helps them to rekindle their love and passion. If not, I hope they have a peaceful and amicable split and that they put their children first. It would be an utter shame if either one of them uses their kids to get back at each other or for the kids to choose between the two of them.

60. These two have been sitting and arguing at a booth at The Brentwood Restaurant for a long time.
Everyone could hear them!
