Reese Witherspoon Opens Up About Her Divorce

In an interview appearing in the April issue of Elle magazine, Reese Witherspoon speaks out about her divorce from Ryan Phillippe, MSN Movie News reports.

"You see a lot of people play this blame game. Blame, blame, blame. You know? And it's a really easy thing to do, and I'm certainly guilty of it. [You have to] look at yourself and go, 'What part of this do I need to own? Which part of this is my responsibility?' And that's the painful work that you have to go through to hopefully get some real life knowledge out of it."

The actress also called the divorce "very humiliating and very isolating." But she adds, "If it's not painful, maybe it wasn't the right decision to marry to begin with."

Witherspoon and Phillippe share custody of their two children, Ava and Deacon.

On her current beau, Jake, Resse tells Elle: "He's fabulous. He really is a fantastic guy."
