By: Shannon Gossage

Phillippe and Cornish have reportedly been spending a lot of time together over the past few months and he has even introduced her to his children with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon. Recently Phillippe and Cornish were spotted on a shopping spree with his children Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4. The foursome went shopping on December 2 in Los Angeles and a source said that Cornish and the children got along famously. The source said, "Ava seemed very comfortable with Abbie. Ava picked a wreath and Abbie put it around her head as a joke."

When Phillippe split from wife Reese Witherspoon last October it was rumored that he was having an affair with Cornish. The two reportedly had a "fling" while filming the indie flick Stop Loss. Sources said that the very married Phillippe and the Australian actress grew "very close" on the set. At the time Cornish’s rep said, "It’s not true. They are co-stars and that is it." A source close to the couple said that Witherspoon confronted Phillippe about his relationship with Cornish after allegedly seeing the pictures of the two of them together and Phillippe copped to the affair.

A source said that Phillippe, 33, and Cornish, 25, have a "ton of chemistry" and seem to get along great. Said the source, "Abbie is a free spirit. She indulges a side of Ryan that he’s kept under wraps for years." Witherspoon has moved on as well and is reportedly seeing actor Jake Gyllenhaal. The two have been seeing each other off-and-on again for the past few months and lately have been spending more and more time with one another.
