"When a rep for actress Abbie Cornish told UsMagazine.com in February that she had broken up with Ryan Phillippe, at least one person was surprised: Ryan Phillippe.\r\n&amp;quot;I have a new rule: not to date anyone who has a publicist,&amp;quot; Phillippe quipped during a Monday radio interview on Howard Stern&amp;apos;s Sirius XM radio sho.\r\nThe actor explained that he and Cornish had privately ended their four-year romance face-to-face -- but no one had warned him of an impending public statement claiming Cornish had dumped him.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Who announces a breakup? I don&amp;apos;t understand that! There&amp;apos;s no need for that.&amp;quot;\r\nPhillippe added, &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve been dumped on in the press for relationship stuff since Reese [Witherspoon] and I divorced.&amp;quot; Phillippe and Cornish began dating in 2006 -- the same year he and Witherspoon split after seven years of marriage.\r\nPHOTOS: Was Reese an &amp;quot;Oscar curse&amp;quot; victim?\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m tired of getting s*** on,&amp;quot; Phillippe, 35, told Stern. &amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t feel like I deserve it. Things happen!  How many people have you broken up with over your life?&amp;quot;\r\nThe actor and Witherspoon now share joint custody of their daughter Ava, 10, and son Deacon, 6 -- and, he said, &amp;quot;it&amp;apos;s gotten to a place where we&amp;apos;re great friends and great co-parents.&amp;quot; Such great friends, in fact, that they console each other after breakups.\r\n&amp;quot;After I had my breakup, she called, and after she did, I called.&amp;quot; Witherspoon, 34, called it quits with Jake Gyllenhaal in early December after nearly three years together.\r\nPhillippe didn&amp;apos;t have much to say about Witherspoon&amp;apos;s new beau, Jim Toth. &amp;quot;I trust her to make the right decisions around our children,&amp;quot; he said simply &amp;quot;I hope she feels the same way.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nHe points out that his kids don&amp;apos;t get too invested in their parents&amp;apos; dating lives. &amp;quot;If the kids care about mom dad, and if that&amp;apos;s consistent and they feel protected that way, they don&amp;apos;t they don&amp;apos;t really care so much about who the parent is dating. They just don&amp;apos;t.&amp;quot;\r\nTo Howard Stern&amp;apos;s chagrin, Phillippe also reveals that he and his ex-wife have not had &amp;quot;ex sex.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;That hasn&amp;apos;t happened,&amp;quot; he told the shock jock.\r\n\r\nSince the Cornish split, he said he&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;enjoying the single-ish&amp;quot; life, although he calls himself a &amp;quot;serial monogamist..Either a girl is worth spending all of my time with or none of my time.&amp;quot; He shoots down rumors that he&amp;apos;s hooked up with Victoria&amp;apos;s Secret model Selita Ebanks, Lindsay Lohan or Jessica Simpson.  &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve never met Jessica Simpson!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
