A cozy turn for Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe

August 5, 2007 -- REESE Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe sure seem cozy these days for a Hollywood power couple supposedly on the outs - and observers of their recent behavior believe a reconciliation may be in the works.

The Oscar-winning cutie and her husband - who separated last October amid reports he'd grown very close to comely Australian actress Abbie Cornish - have been spotted shopping, jogging and lunching together in Los Angeles.

"They met for lunch this week at the Votre Sante health-food restaurant, a regular Brentwood haunt for Reese on San Vicente," said our source. "And they're going on runs together around the Brentwood Country Club. Both are regular, dedicated runners. Running is a very healing, meditative thing, so maybe it will work its magic on them."

The pair also were spotted at Niketown Beverly Hills, where Witherspoon was fitted for a pair of Nike Air Zoom Vomero shoes. "She took them for a demo on the treadmill on the second floor and loved them," our tipster reports.

A friend of Witherspoon tells us, "Reese and Ryan are trying to work it out. They are still close."

Phillippe's rep told us, "It's not true." A flack for Witherspoon didn't get back to us.

Last year, Us Weekly claimed it was Phillippe's torrid fling with Cornish that brought an end to his glam union of seven years, which produced two children, Ava Elizabeth, 7, and Deacon, 3. "Ryan admitted [to Reese] it was true and said, 'We need to just end this.' Reese literally had no choice," an anonymous source told the magazine. Phillippe and Cornish allegedly grew close in Austin, Texas, on and off the set of their movie, "Stop Loss."

In April, Page Six reported how Phillippe was spotted on the prowl with buddy Joseph Gordon-Levitt at the Chateau Marmont, screaming at women, "Hey, you're hot! Get over here!"

Witherspoon, 32, and Phillippe, 31, met at her 21st birthday party and subsequently worked together on "Cruel Intentions." She went on to win an Oscar last year for "Walk the Line."

Yeah it would be nice if they got back together. They're both so incredibly beautiful too, they always look so nice together. I'm sure it would be lovely for the kids too

I guess they both just needed some strange.

At the very least, it sounds like they're trying not to traumatize their kids by hating on each other. Good for them. They DO look good together...

I don't think this is true but I wish it was. They are so cute together and it would be nice to see a Hollywood couple actually make it.

Jake is going to be devastated.

Good beards are hard to come by!

What B- actor but with A name recognition is trying to get back together with his ex who is an A list actress, not because he really cares for her, but because he needs her help to land a new film role. If he brings her along then it could be his ticket to A list money and fame for his work, and not just for being with his ex. So far, she has turned him down cold and his career is stuck.

Ohhhhh......I was hoping they would get back together. I always liked them as a couple, and felt bad when he screwed it up.

Hollywood crap doesn't generally bother me, but I was pretty disappointed when they broke up. They were married at the same time my husband and I were, and had their first child around the time I had mine.

I hope that they are trying to work it out, for my sake. lol

I dunno, alot has happened between these two. If I was her I would let him go, a man just cant walk in and out of my life whenever he feels like it, especially when kids and marriage is involved.

He can get fucked for all I care, I would of slammed the door in his face. (this applies only if the media is right about him cheating with that other chick)

He's a serial cheater. I doubt she'd take him back.
