Reese tells Ryan: stop the divorce

Reese Witherspoon has decided to give estranged husband Ryan Phillippe one more chance after they reunited over Christmas.

Insiders say the intimate holiday with her ex left Reese thinking she was too hasty in filing for divorce after their October split.

Now she’s asked her lawyers to put divorce proceedings on hold for another six months while she decides whether to make their reunion permanent.

“Reese still loves Ryan, she always will,” says a source. “And she’s really starting to melt toward him, even if she’s putting up a steely front.”

While still hurt by the publicity surrounding his alleged infidelities, Reese agreed to spend time with Ryan over Christmas for the sake of their kids Ava, seven, and Deacon, four. But friends say their reunion reignited deep feelings in the couple instead.

“She’s asking herself a lot of questions now, wondering if she pushed Ryan away,” says a friend. “That’s why she may agree to let him come back.”
