But Reese Witherspoon is slowly getting back to normal and spent Wednesday on a family day out with her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe and their children Ava, 13, and nine-year-old Deacon.
The 37-year-old actress seemed in good spirits as she watched her blonde mini-me compete on the track.

According to X17online the former couple, who split in 2007, chatted and looked to be getting on well.
'Reese and Ryan talked for a very long time, and they were smiling and laughing,' an eyewitness reported. 'They had a lot to say to each other, which is very unusual.'

'You have to say when you make a mistake, you have to take responsibility,' she told Good Morning America. 'And we are taking responsibility and doing everything in our power to make it right. You just have to be honest with them. That was definitely the hardest part.'
Reese was fined $213, while Toth was put on probation, fined, and ordered to attend alcohol education classes after his DUI arrest.

However, the star can't seem to escape negative headlines, with her stepmother Tricianne Taylor recently describing her as 'awful and disrespectful' to her father John Witherspoon.
Taylor has never met Reese, but she certainly has some strong opinions about her stepdaughter.

In fact she even alleges that Reese’s father, Dr John Witherspoon, nearly didn’t walk her down the aisle at her 2011 wedding to Jim Toth because she was ‘so awful and disrespectful to her father’.
Taylor said: ‘Reese shows very little respect to her father, and he’s been ostracised by her because she’s so angry that he married me.’
Taylor also told the publication: ‘Based on Reese’s behaviour in those police videos following her recent arrest, I believe she has a serious drinking problem and needs to get professional help.
Reese’s family made the headlines last year when her mother Betty filed a bigamy lawsuit against John after he tied the knot with Tricianne despite the fact he was still legally married to her.
Betty was granted a restraining order against Tricianne as part of the suit, after Betty claimed John was suffering from early onset dementia and told her he didn’t remember marrying Tricianne.
