Cornish reveals pressure of relationship spotlight

Abbie Cornish says starting her relationship with Ryan Phillippe was “a difficult time”.

The 27-year-old actress – who began dating Phillippe after meeting him on the set of 2006 movie ‘Stop Loss’, prompting speculation she played a part in the breakdown of Ryan’s marriage to Reese Witherspoon – was unprepared for the intense scrutiny their romance attracted.
