Ryan Phillippe’s Insta Adventures
In a delightful Instagram post on November 27, the 49-year-old actor shared snippets of his Thanksgiving escapade with his “lil beauties.” He spilled the beans on their unconventional festivities, which included pizza indulgence, a mandatory viewing of Elf,
a binge-watch session of Young Sheldon (paired with some teenage romance anime), sipping on Boba drinks, attempting to cook pancakes, stumbling upon fake snow, and, of course, catching the Eagles beating Buffalo in overtime (though that victory might have mattered more to him than the rest of the crew).
Ryan Phillippe Boardwalk Strolls and Boba Stops
The Instagram carousel featured sweet snapshots of Phillippe flashing a grin from the driver’s seat, with Kai riding shotgun and her friends in the backseat. The quartet strolled down a boardwalk, ambled arm in arm along a breezy street, made a pit stop for Boba drinks, and even embarked on a whimsical journey through a snow-covered Christmas tree farm.
Ryan Phillippe Family Resemblances and Mini-Me Controversies
Phillippe’s ex, Alexis Knapp, and he share the joy of parenting Kai, and despite the fleeting romance, their daughter seems to be the perfect blend of both parents. While Knapp insists Kai is her “mini-me,” Phillippe finds himself in the midst of a resemblance riddle with his other children,
Ava and Deacon. According to Phillippe, the public seems to think Deacon takes after his mom, Reese Witherspoon, while Ava is the spitting image of him. To this, the actor responds with a humorous eye-roll, questioning if people are genuinely surprised that children look like their parents—after all, it’s biology at play.
Ryan Phillippe From Cruel Intentions to Cordial Coparenting
Despite Phillippe’s acknowledgment of the “obviously a father-son resemblance” with Deacon, he’s also quick to highlight that Ava shares his features. The actor, who was previously married to Reese Witherspoon, emphasized that coparenting is a continuous “feeling-out process.”
In a 2014 interview with HuffPost, Phillippe expressed pride in the way they’ve handled post-divorce parenting, asserting, “It’s going well, and she’s happy and remarried, and our kids are incredible. I’m proud of the way we’ve handled it and who our little people are.”
In the end, it seems like Ryan Phillippe’s Thanksgiving was a recipe for familial fun, sprinkled with a dash of humor and a dollop of unconventional charm. Who knew Elf, boardwalk strolls, and fake snow could make for such a memorable holiday?
