Ryan Phillippe And Cornish Dating?....

Actor Ryan Phillippe has sparked reports of a romance with Australian star Abbie Cornish, after they were spotted out and about in Los Angeles recently.The couple was alleged to have had a brief fling while co-starring in the forthcoming Stop Loss while Phillippe was still married to Legally Blonde beauty Reese Witherspoon - a claim both parties have denied.But according to the New York Daily News, the pair have now become more than just friends.A close pal says, "They are a real couple. (The relationship) has really grown. She's spending time with his kids (Ava, eight, and Deacon, four) - it's not like she's on the side. She's part of the family".And Phillippe's children appear to have warmed to Cornish, after they were snapped Christmas shopping together last weekend (02Dec07).A witness tells Us Weekly magazine, "Ava seemed very comfortable with Abbie.Ava picked a wreath, and Abbie put it around her head as a joke. They both were laughing".Another source adds, "Going out together and leaking a few photos is their discreet way of letting the public know it's official. It's not like you can send out a press release about these things".
