Reese 'n' Ryan's Marriage Formally Falls to Pieces

Reese Witherspoon is finally a single girl. Aside from that whole dating Jake Gyllenhaal thing.

Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's divorce was finalized in Los Angeles Superior Court Thursday, with court papers obtained by E! News indicating that financial and custodial settlements between the ex-couple have been reached.

The no-frills—and sadly, no details—document simply reads: "[The court finds] the parties have settled all their remaining issues in these proceedings."

While the parsing of their shared possessions, including 8-year-old daughter Ava and 4-year-old son Deacon, are being kept confidential, the duo has previously sought to maintain a joint custody arrangement.

As it is, the formerly golden couple's union was officially terminated last October, paving the way for them to remarry. The dissolution of marriage all but formally separated the couple, only requiring them to hammer out the finer points of their money—Phillippe did not seek spousal support from his higher-earning ex—and offspring matters.

The 32-year-old actress first filed for divorce from her 33-year-old hubby of seven years back in November 2006, citing the ever-popular irreconcilable differences.

Witherspoon has since stepped out with her Rendition costar Gyllenhaal, while just last week Phillippe went public with his relationship with his own war-themed movie costar, Stop Loss' Abbie Cornish.
