Ryan Phillippe Spends Thanksgiving With The Kids

wow this is a big move, going on a trip to meet the parents with his kids.

I don’t like this couple. They’re just like Angelina jolie & Brad Pitt, Madona & A-Rod. They’re having an affair while they’re still married.
Yuck!!!

Anyway, they are cute kids, I really don’t like Reese (I find her incredibly annoying), but she’s an awesome mom. Good job for her, especially in Holywood.

When Reese was on Letterman he asked about Thanksgiving plans with her kids. She seemed to get a little uncomfortable and said they were staying here for school while she was in London. I figured they would be with Ryan, but she wouldn’t even so much as say they’ll be with their father. It was a little odd.

L: what did you expect her to say? “I dumped the brats on the ex so I could go to London for a getaway? Thank God he took ‘em off my hands.” LOL

L, another reason Reese probably avoided saying anything is because paps tend to stalk celebrities at LAX. Last year, Ava and Deacon had a frightening experience at LAX when the paps really pestered and surrounded them and Ryan as they were arriving home. She probably didn’t want to encourage the paparazzi or crazy fans even more by specifically mentioning that Ryan and the kids would be flying out of LAX for Thanksgiving.

The children are court ordered to switch holidays every year. Reese was uncomfortable beacause every year of the children’s lives they have always been with her for Thanksgiving.

It was very nice of her friends to throw the party in London to take her mind off of the inevitable.

I bet kids prefer Ryan to Reese

Reese is never affectionate with the kids and uses the nanny all the time - she can’t be bothered!

I think the kids seem very well adjusted with both parents. Ryan and Reese may not have had a great marriage but they seem like great parents. Abbie and Jake seem like they are really mature committed partners that welcome the kids as part of their relationships. Kudos to all involved.

I assume they had a bad marriage because they got divorced. It seems to indicate more issues then just one affair. Purely speculation but their body language in pictures seemed tense, they always talked about how hard their marriage was in interviews, they just didn’t “seem” happy. JMO
They seem happier now.

I think they were too young and got married too fast because they were having a baby.

I admire the fact that Reece didn’t play a blaming game and made it a mess like some. She always talk about her responiblity for the divorce Rayan was a bit taken back at first but I say both Reece and Rayan handled it well. They seem fine in their new relationship. Good luck to them.

Abbie and Ava hugging!! : ): )

I think the kids don’t like of the paps so they don’t smile at this kind of picture. This doesn’t mean they aren’t happy.

Sometimes the best for the kids is the separation. If the parents are always discussing and fighting it is better to separate. My parents stayed together for years after the marriage finished and this wasn’t better for me or for my brother.

the right people for each other and I’m happy for them. I like them each, and they seem so much happier apart and with their new loves than they were with each other.

I agree with your every word. I always thought they were just too young in the first place, and for so long they seemed quite unhappy and actually uncomfortable in each others presence. I repeat that they both seem so much more happy with their respective new loves.

#31 Are you purposely misconstruing those words, or are you just plain stupid? The previous poster was simply saying that Reese was uncomfortable talking about it on Letterman, not that she was uncomfortable being with her kids. This was the first year they hadn’t been with her for Thanksgiving, and she wasn’t comfortable talking about it. Also, the inevitable part refers to the fact that it couldn’t be avoided since the courts had decided it, so it was nice for her friends to have a party to keep her minds off things.

Things becoming suddenly clearer for you idiot?

Reese made sure she wouldn’t look dumped after Ryan left her for Abbie - her showmance with Jake got her a lot of good PR, she can pretend to “have it all”.

LOL

wow they are growing uppp super fast (9 and 5 now right?!) seems like just yesterday that they were born, or at least that Deacon was born and an infant but anyway they are super cute and getting soo much bigger and taller and look like both their parents ,its ashame that they get photographed soo much and have to deal with the paparazzi on basically practically a day to day basis.

It is so YESTERDAY to sit here and talk about Ryan and Reese!!!! They have moved on. You don’t discuss your child custody arrangements and agreements on TV with Letterman in a five minute spot. when you have to be there to promote your movie. And I saw video of the papparazzi swarming those kids last year and it was horrifying! There should be laws against the paps harrassing minor children. If Jake hadn’t been on crutches at the time I think he would have gotten violent. I’ve seen pictures of the kids looking happy, but not when they have been swarmed by paps. Those paps are also shouting at them, just so you know.

“There should be laws against the paps harrassing minor children.”

There should be a law agains celebrity mothers using their children for PR and pretending to be upset when that suits them.

Reese is doing that all the time.

I love that he spent the holiday quietly with his family & kids at home and Reese is jet setting to the UK with Jake. Ryan seems like a down to earth guy while Reese is portrayed as a stuck-up b*tch. For the kids sake I hope it isn’t true, but I would not want that wench as my Mother.

They look really happy. All of them. Personally, I like seeing this. Ryan and Reese have always put the children first and I like it that, at least the people in their lives now, seem to know that Ava and Deacon are most important.

Ryan does look upset though. I feel bad looking at all these pics, even though I clicked in and think they look lovely.

Ryan is a great dad beautiful children

holy crap! Ava looks a whole lot like her Reese. she’s gonna be pretty when she gets older…

@ Reese is a bad mother

And you know this how?

You don’t know her - how can make a statement like that?

Matching hats anyone? Tacky

Does Ryan ever smile or seem happy in any pictures. I mean even when he was with Reese - he really looks pissed off all the time. And I don’t think it’s just with the paparazzi - he never even seems happy at red carpet events.

I do hope that he and Abbie make it. But for some reason I think as soon as Abbie light out shines Ryan’s (which it will - because she is a much better actor) - he’ll move on from her too.

@ Hey you -

I don’t recall writing “I know” - I wrote ” I think”. There is a big difference. And I’m sorry if you don’t agree.

Yes you are right about the paps - I couldn’t image dealing with that, but I still don’t recall seeing any recent pictures of him smiling on the red carpet.

Just my opinion- take it with a grain of salt. It is a blog - not the NYT!

Dear #32 if you can’t write clearly, don’t write at all. Anyhoo inquiring minds want to know when Reese is going to give Jakeypoo’s parents enough money to pay off their mortgages. LOL. Can you understand that?

Hey you -

Why do you have a problem with me’s comments - yet all the others that spew hatred and pretend to know anything that involves Abbie, Ryan, Reese or Jake and you have nothing to say to?

Just curious?
