A source tells the new Us Weekly that Phillippe (who wasn't present at the bash) was blindsided when he heard second-hand about Knapp's very public bombshell. "Alexis hadn't even talked to Ryan before that party," a second source says. (Counters an insider close to the So Undercover actress, who is due in June: "Ryan found out as soon as Alexis did.)

As UsMagazine.com first reported on Monday, the Lincoln Lawyer actor, 36, "doesn't know if he's the father," the first source says, but plans to take a paternity test. (He and Knapp dated on and off for several months before calling it quits in September 2010.)

"If it's his, he'll take responsibility."
