Ryan Phillippe might have to prep for round three of Daddy Duty!
The actor, 36, who already has two kids with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon, may become a father again -- so says his ex, pregnant model-actress Alexis Knapp, who has claimed she's carrying his baby. (Knapp recently stepped out in Hollywood, bearing an unmistakable baby bump.)
"She's in the second trimester," a source close to Knapp confirms to UsMagazine.com of Knapp, who next stars in the film Project X (out this Thanksgiving) plus the Miley Cyrus flick So Undercover. (A rep could not be reached for comment.)
First-time mom Knapp dated Phillippe for several months on and off last year before he ended the relationship in September. "She has been telling people he is the father," explains another source to Us. Counters the Knapp source: "She's not commenting on who the father is."

"Ryan doesn't know if he is the dad," adds the second source of the Lincoln Lawyer actor. "If he is, he will take full responsibility for the child."
Explains a third insider of Phillippe and Knapp: "He and Alexis were actually together for a while...It was pretty serious."
"He's a good guy," adds the insider. "He loves being a dad and takes being a dad really seriously."

His kids with Witherspoon, 34, are Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7.
"If this kid is his," the insider says, "He will do the right thing. He takes his responsibility seriously."

Phillippe's current squeeze is Amanda Seyfried -- although the duo have been tight-lipped about their romance. "I'm dating," said Phillippe on Friday's Ellen DeGeneres Show. "Not nearly as voracious as the magazines like to make out, [but] I am dating."
Tell Us What You Think
22Why isn't anyone willing to bring children into a relationship with TWO parents. The children ALWAYS suffer in a single parent household!!! Keep your pants zipped and your legs closed until you love someone enough to create a family by Marriage!!!
oh my! she is pretty though.
Act your age not you shoe size Ryan,you know what happens when your in bed with a women you should have know better than that?!
I'm always fascinated that women are such wh*res and see absolutely nothing wrong with it. I mean come on, as its a woman's right to choose, shouldn't it also be her responsibility to practice some birth control? Making kids for money is just pathetic in addition to being really obvious.
And I also think this girl Alexis is a gold digger. Both Ryan and she are idiots.
I always knew Ryan was a sleazeball. I was suspicious when he seemed so committed to Reese. Ever since he divorced her he doesn't seem like he can keep it in his pants.
What a loser! He needs 2cover it if he's gna be sleepn aroun. Thats nt fair to any of those kids and im sure the models happy, she wnt hav to worry abt money nemre..
She isn't saying who the father is. Some unnamed source is saying Ryan is. Check your facts before you open your mouths, people.
Ryan needs to start having some responsibility and the women who lay with him also. Poor kids, I hope he is a good father.
She looks about 4 months. Maybe 5. September was 6 months ago. She probably slept with someone right after Ryan and is claiming him because they were together longer. THOUGH she could pin it on someone better if she really didn't know who the father is. I'm sure Reese is paying Ryan alimony because he's an actor but he doesn't make Reese's dough.
Ryan needs to stop spreading his seed around. And if he IS the "sperm donor" he needs to step up and help out. Take care of YOUR responsibilities.
maybe these celebs should keep it in their pants so this stuff doesnt happen?
He should Definitely have his lawyers hit her with a paternity test the first time she says it's his! Wouldn't be the first time some girl claimed to be pregnant from a rich celebrity & it was a lie.
Irresponsibility and laziness on both their parts. Nothing to be proud of.
Whoops! Learn to wrap your tool.
If they broke up in September, I don't think she looks far enough along to be carrying his baby
I thought he also hd a baby with the girl he cheated on Reese with? He is cute and all but we don't need to repopulate the earth with little Phillippe's.
Unless I hear it from HER, she may not be going around saying Ryan is the father. Tired of all these nameless sources.
Another knocked up single broad who doesn't know who the daddy is. zzzzzzzz
Yes this chick should wait until the baby is born and ask Ryan to take a paternity test and he should get his lawyers involved as well and if he is indeed the father then go public...if not this is just an embarrassing story for her as it would show she sleeps around if he is not the father
