Ryan Phillippe started dating his former fiancé Paulina Slagter in 2011 and despite the 17-year difference, the two seem inseparable for five years. As reported in Celebuzz, what made this news even more surprising is the fact that Ryan Phillippe frequently gushed about his Stanford law school graduate girlfriend.

As of this writing, the reason for cancelling off the engagement is still unknown. Yet a report from Celebitchy, guessed that it is probably not a simple case of falling out after being together in a while. The article even insinuated that a scandal related to the Ryan Phillippe and Paulina Slagter split might explode soon. Of course, the rest of us need to wait and hopefully know the real reason behind soon.
Ryan Phillippe was married to actress Reese Witherspoon for eight years before divorcing in 2007. The two A-list celebrities who have two children, Ava and Deacon remain friends after the split. The 42-year old actor seems to favor long-term relationships because he also dated actress, Abbie Cornish for four years. Meanwhile, Ryan Phillippe also has a daughter with former flame, Alexis Knapp.
As Ryan Phillippe is now officially single, folks can now make a bet as to who will be the actor's next apple of the eye.
