Hollywood couple Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have finalised their divorce, according to court documents.

Witherspoon cited irreconcilable differences when she filed for divorce on November 8 last year.

The couple were married for seven years and have two children, eight-year-old daughter Ava and three-year-old son Deacon.

Witherspoon, 31, and Phillippe, 33, co-starred in the 1999 movie Cruel Intentions and married that year. Their separation was announced on October 30 last year.

Witherspoon won the best-actress Academy Award last year for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in Walk The Line.

She can next be seen in Rendition, due out later this month.

Phillippe co-starred in Crash, which won the best-picture Oscar last year. Other recent credits include the Second World War drama Flags Of Our Fathers and Breach, which was released earlier this year.

Court documents confirming the divorce were first posted by the celebrity Web site CelebTV.com.

Ryan Phillippe wants joint custody of his children with “Walk the Line” Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon.

Reese Witherspoon filed for divorce on Nov. 8, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split, and she asked for physical custody of the acting couple’s two children — 7-year-old Ava and 3-year-old Deacon.

In the Superior Court divorce petition, Witherspoon, 31, asked for visitation for Phillippe, 32, and “exclusive use of the family residence.”

In a response filed Tuesday by his attorneys, Phillippe also cited irreconcilable differences but asked for joint legal custody and physical custody of the children as well as visitation granted “to both parties, equally allocated.”  Phillippe’s petition was first reported by CelebTV.com.

Divorce is tough, especially on the kids, hopefully Reese plays nice, she seems like such a sweetheart.
