They’re more than just former co-stars. They’re friends.

Amid the media firestorm over his girlfriend Kristen Stewart’s photographed dalliance with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director, Robert Pattinson is reportedly crashing at Reese Witherspoon’s swanky ranch in Ojai. But why is Rob staying with his newly remarried, very pregnant Water for Elephants co-star?

According to RadarOnline, Reese identifies with Rob’s plight and wants to be there for him. A source tells the site, “Reese went through a very public cheating scandal herself when Ryan Phillippe went outside their marriage and hooked up with Abbie Cornish, so her first thought when she heard about Kristen and Rob was to reach out to him and make sure he was okay.”

The insider adds, "Reese and her husband [Jim Toth] are just giving Rob the space he needs and a place to stay that's far away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi."

Oh, to have an A-list support circle...
