Reese's House Hubby

Reese Witherspoon could have the secret to a lasting Hollywood marriage.

Her man is happy to play the house-husband while she is so much in demand.

The Legally Blonde star told Now magazine that she and actor Ryan Phillippe don't let work keep them apart.

She said: "When I'm working, Ryan travels with me, which means that he and the children (Ava, six, and Deacon, two) are always there."

The couple met at Reese's 21st birthday party in 1997 and have become one of Hollywood's happiest married couples.

"I've looked at the marriages that survive," Reese said, "and the ones that don't and I've tried to learn from them.

"Ryan and I are really good friends and have been blessed with parents who've been married for 30-plus years... the most important thing is not to blindly follow work."

But it cuts both ways in the Witherspoon-Phillippe household.

Reese - who recently made it into the top ten list of Hollywood's highest-earning actresses - also takes her turn.

"I'm the camp follower at the moment," she continued, "because Ryan's making a movie called Flags Of Our Fathers... in Iceland and Toronto.

"It's never good if your partner returns from an exciting place, then starts telling you all about it. Those experiences are best shared."
