Actress Reese Witherspoon credits her brother with helping her recover
after her divorce from actor Ryan Phillippe.
The 31-year-old was devastated after the couple split in 2006 and the
ensuing media reports of Phillippe's infidelity - but says family,
especially her older brother John, pulled her through.
She says, "It's been a challenging year. But I feel I am so lucky
to have a wonderful family and great friends. My brother calls me three
times a day to see how I'm doing and that's a real stabilizing element in
my life."
