Washington, Feb 4 : Reese Witherspoon is very happy with the way she and ex-husband Ryan Phillippe have maintained a good relationship for the sake of their kids Ava, 12, and eight-year-old Deacon.

The 35-year-old actress has said that she always puts her family first and is proud of the manner in which both she and Phillippe co-parent their kids.

“My ex-husband and I co-parent really well. We really balance each other’s schedules and just communicate a lot,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling Britain’s Glamour magazine.

“Nothing’s more important for me than family. I definitely love having a career, but I just love being a mom - it’s how I was raised,” she added. (ANI)
