They laughed and talked then he left."Reese, 30, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for her split from Ryan and has asked for custody of the couple's two children - seven-year-old Ava and three-year-old Deacon - but with visitation rights granted to her husband.The 'Walk The Line' actress has also requested "exclusive use of the family residence" and asked that the court refuse Ryan spousal support.Jake, 25, broke up with long-term girlfriend Kirsten Dunst last year and despite being linked to a number of women has been single ever since.Ryan, 32, was alleged to be having an affair with 24-year-old Australian actress Abbie Cornish, who he met on the set of their movie 'Stop Loss', before he split from his wife.However, Abbie has vehemently denied the allegations, insisting the pair are just "good friends".
