LONDON - Ryan Phillippe is happy that his ex-wife Reese Witherspoon is dating again after her split from Jake Gyllenhaal because he trusts her to pick a suitable boyfriend to act as a father figure around their children.
Witherspoon and Phillipe divorced in 2006 after seven years of marriage. While the “Legally Blonde” star went on to date Gyllenhaal, Phillippe began a relationship with Australian actress Abbie Cornish.
Phillippe insists he always approves of Witherspoon’s suitors because he knows she will consider the best interests of their two children - Ava, 10, and Deacon, 6, reports dailystar.co.uk.
“If the kids care about mum and dad, and if that’s consistent and they feel protected that way, they don’t really care so much about who the parent is dating. They just don’t… I trust her to make the right decisions around our children. I hope she feels the same way,” he said.
