It’s over: Ryan Phillippe has called off his engagement after a year
It was only this time last year that we were swooning over their engagement, but it seems it’s all over for Ryan Phillippe and fiancée Paulina Slagter.
According to E!News, the pair – who were together for five years – have called time on their engagement.
The rumour mill cranked into action a fortnight ago, when the Cruel Intentions star rocked up solo to Drake’s (now infamous) 30th birthday party. It later emerged that Ryan and Paulina have not been seen out in public together since as far back as September.
While neither Ryan nor Paulina have commented on the reports, the website claims that news of the split was confirmed by two separate sources.
It’s a sad ending for Ryan and lawyer Paulina, who only got engaged last Christmas.
Speaking ahead of popping the question, 42-year-old Ryan appeared totally in awe of his other half.
“When people see her, they have these judgments because she could be a model but she’s about to graduate Stanford Law. I’m very involved in civil rights issues, and so to be with a woman who could actually make an impact in the legal realm – that’s a beautiful thing,” he said, in an interview.
Ryan was, of course, previously married to Reese Witherspoon, with whom he has two children; 17-year-old Ava, and 13-year-old Deacon. He is also father to five-year-old Kai; his daughter with ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp.
