Earlier this year Ryan spoke about his studious student girlfriend, and told Howard Stern: "She's awesome. When people see her they have these judgments because she could be a model but she's about to graduate Stanford Law. Also what's great about it - as you get older certain issues become more important to you. 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."

Deep.

It's not Ryan Phillippe's first marriage - from 1999 - 2008 Ryan was married to Reese Witherspoon, and they have two kids: Ava, 16, and Deacon, 12.
