From Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe watching their children’s football games together to praising each for co-parenting well, the actors’ are known as one of Hollywood’s most amicable exes – until now! The Hot Pursuit actress is reportedly trying to keep Ava, 15, and Deacon, 11, away from her ex-husband because of his hard-partying ways.

An eyewitness at Coachella reportedly heard the Secrets and Lies actor call Reese, “my f—cking b—tch ex-wife.” The insider added to In Touch, “He explained that she is trying to cut him out of their children’s lives and that Reese complains that Ryan parties too much.”

The actress even makes excuses when the actor tries to see his children. “Reese tells him they’re busy with schoolwork,” the source said.

But Ryan isn’t letting his ex-wife’s concerns about his parenting stop him from continuing to help raise Ava and Deacon. “He said, ‘She can’t f—cking do this,” the insider claimed. “My kids are honor students and when they are with me they do their homework. I take good care of them!”

The clash is a major step backward for the exes, as Ryan opened up about successfully co-parenting his children with Reese in October. “I think we’ve gotten to a really great place,” he told HuffPost Live. “I’m proud of the way we’ve handled it and who our little people are.”
