Ryan Phillippe Welcomes Baby Girl With Alexis Knapp

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Jul 7th 2011 03:00PM

Third time is surely a charm for Ryan Phillippe who welcomed his third child on July 1. The baby girl is the first for Phillippe and ex-girlfriend, Alexis Knapp, but the third for the actor who shares two children -- Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7 -- with ex-wife, Reese Witherspoon.

According to In Touch, although they are no longer a couple, Phillippe was in the delivery room with Knapp when she delivered their nearly eight pound baby girl, Kai, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

But due to the couple's post-breakup surprise pregnancy, Phillippe is not 100% certain he is the baby's biological father and until recently had not taken any DNA tests. Phillippe is currently waiting on the results of the paternity test but has already taken on a fatherly role to the newborn.

"Ryan took Alexis to her last doctor's appointments and was there in the hospital when she gave birth," a friend told In Touch. "He's waiting for the DNA test to see if he's the father, but he's acting like he is."

We applaud Phillippe for stepping up to the plate whether or not Kai is his biological daughter.

Since White people make up LESS THAN 13% OF THE WORLD POPULATION. It's a good thing he's having children even though it wasn't planned.

Alexis you do not know if Ryan is the dad? Ryan needs a D.A.testmight be a single mom to three kids. I am guessing you get support from your x.

By TORI

Check your facts Cameron, in Ryan and Reese's divorce papers neither requested spousal support and he supports his two children by her.He may not be an "A" list actor but he does support his own and takes no money from his ex. He remains very close with his children and shares custody of them with Reese as well. He may not make the best decisions but he takes responsiblity for them!!!

doesn't anyone get married these days before they have a child. the good news? they can both afford a child and it will want for nothing.

Quit fathering children you're not around to raise!!!!!!!!

Cover your critter!!!!!!

Yeah, 'stepping up to the plate' is good. Of course, if it turns out that he's not the daddy, he'll drop kick the plate across the room and run like heck...

Mr. Phillippe had better learn to keep his zipper closed. Too many in Hollywood have illegitimate children. Sad that marriage seems to be a non entity....

By Sam

What is the difference, if they get married than he cheats on her and they get a divorce which leave her as a single mom with a baby. Marriage is a joke because people are selfish and can't stay loyal to their spouse. I am a woman who think marriage is design for woman to take all of their husband money and men take all of their wife sanity. P.S I have never been married but I am a great observer.

I don't know what kind of people you are "observing" but I am married and I can tell you that not all marriages are so condecending to either sex. No marriage is perfect, but the good most definetly outweighs the bad. I didn't marry my husband just for his money, and being married isn't costing me my sanity. I think you know a lot of people who aren't married to the right people for the right reasons. When you find "the one" it is one of the best feelings in the world. :)
