Before Ryan Phillippe stole her heart, Reese Witherspoon dated actor Jeremy Sisto. The “Law & Order” star revealed this news during an AMA session on Reddit, after being asked what it was like working with her. The two had starred together in a 1992 TV movie, “Desperate Choices: To Save My Child,” when Witherspoon was just getting her start.
Sisto said the experience:
Great, Witherspoon said of the experience. “She was my first actress girlfriend. We had a long-distance relationship for a long time. I was so into her. Then she went to Africa to do a movie and I guess I thought she had broken up with me because she didn’t call that much so I moved on and met my ex-wife Marisa.”
Witherspoon’s words mean so much to me because she was my first actress girlfriend. We had a long-distance relationship for a long time, and then she went to Africa to do a movie. I was so into her, and then she went to Africa to do a movie, and I guess I thought she had broken up with me. I moved on and met my ex-wife Marisa.

The film that Witherspoon reportedly left Sisto to shoot was “A Far Off Place,” which came out in 1993. Unfortunately, Sisto jumped to conclusions about Withersppon’s stance on their relationship. “When she returned, I found out that wasn’t her intention but I ‘had already gotten involved,” he added. “Felt badly. She’s a great person.” Wow. Imagine what could’ve been had they had a little healthy communication!
Meanwhile, Witherspoon has never corroborated Sisto’s account or seemingly referred to him at all in recent years.
