Ryan Phillippe’s New Girlfriend? Nope!

Ryan Phillippe leaves London’s St. Martins Hotel with ~~a new mystery girl~~ his publicist Nicole by his side late Tuesday night. He reportedly likes being in Britain better because he’s not recognized as much as in the U.S.

“I prefer being in Britain with my children than I do in Los Angeles, because we avoid the (paparazzi),” he said. “I am not sure if it is because I am not British or not as nearly as interesting here, but I manage to get away with it.”

Meanwhile, Ryan’s ex-wife-to-be Reese Witherspoon has been getting busy with on-again off-again Jake Gyllenhaal.

UPDATE: The girl has been ID’s as Ryan’s publicist, Nicole Perna. Her reported boyfriend Geoffrey James Clark commented, “And thanks to the other commenter’s who said she’s hot… She is a beautiful woman!”
