Enjoying priceless time with his youngest child, Ryan Phillippe. The 49-year-old actor shared a number of photos from his Thanksgiving celebrations on Instagram, including an uncommon selfie with his daughter Kai, who is 12 years old. The photo shows Kai sitting in the back with two friends and Phillippe in the driver’s seat of a car.
Kai is wearing a blue scarf. Along with three of Kai’s friends, the father-daughter duo is pictured enjoying boba tea, making pancakes, and strolling along a boardwalk.
Ryan Phillippe spent Thanksgiving with his children
Ryan Phillippe expressed his happiness about spending Thanksgiving with Sawyer, Ever, Kai, and Isla.
The happy father revealed in his caption that they indulged in pizza, watched “Elf,” and binge-watched teen romance anime and “Young Sheldon.” They also celebrated the Eagles defeating Buffalo in overtime to improve their record to 10-1, had boba, went boardwalk shopping, tried making pancakes, discovered fake snow, and laughed when he admitted that the sports victory might have only meant something to him.
Along with his ex-wife Reese Witherspoon, Phillippe is the father of two children: son Deacon and daughter Ava. He also shares a daughter, Kai, with Alexis Knapp.
Alexis Knapp shares his mothering experience
Pitch Perfect is a well-known musical comedy that Alexis Knapp started filming when Kai was just three months old.
She posted a throwback photo of herself and Kai on Instagram, reflecting on that time and highlighting the difficulties of nursing a newborn during three amazing months of rehearsals and long hours of shooting.
People were surprised, according to Knapp, at how well she handled everything, but she stressed the need for determination in times of need.
Ryan Phillippe’s fatherhood
In 1999, at the age of 25, Ryan Phillippe and his then-wife Reese Witherspoon welcomed their first child, a daughter named Ava.
After getting married in 2003 and meeting at Witherspoon’s 21st birthday celebration, the couple had a son named Deacon. Co-parenting has been Phillippe and Witherspoon’s top priority, even after they separated three years later and divorced in 2008.
They have taken an active part in going to school events together and having dinner as a family. In a 2010 appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ show, Phillippe stressed the value of keeping a positive relationship with his ex-wife and setting a good example for their kids even after their breakup.
When Ryan Phillippe and his then-girlfriend Alexis Knapp welcomed their daughter Kai in 2011, he became a father for the third time.
Although he usually doesn’t divulge information about Kai, Phillippe regularly posts about his two older children on social media and talks about them in interviews.
As he talked about Ava and Deacon in an interview for PEOPLE’s 2021 Sexiest Man Alive issue, he joked, “They’re both better looking than me, thankfully.” “They obviously have a very pretty mom,” Phillippe went on. Regarding music, Deacon and I have a very strong connection. Ava really captures my personality, and he’s like my best friend.”
