Ava Phillippe helps Ryan cope

Ryan Phillippe will be appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres show tomorrow, and talks again about his children getting him through his split with estranged wife Reese Witherspoon. Ryan says,

As difficult as it is, my daughter has been the inspiration — she has, my 7 year old daughter – Ava - yeah, she is beyond, in terms of like conscientiousness and maturity, and she has gotten me through this…I know it sounds pathetic – I’m a 32-year-old guy, but my 7-year-old daughter is getting me through the toughest time in my life, and that’s beautiful too.

As for Deacon, Ryan says,

He’s all right, you know. I mean, 3-years-old – he’s fun, every day he says something that makes me laugh, warms my heart. They’re hanging in there. It ain’t easy. It’s devastating. But the bottom line is the focus is on the children, and they’re doing amazingly well and that’s really all that matters.

This makes me sad for him; of course what he did was wrong but they both love their children so much and thats so inspiring. Even though they are both feeling “blue” they only care for their little ones’ feelings. Poor family. I wish them good luck through this tough time.
