He may be twice her age, but according to E! News, that didn't stop Ryan Phillippe, 36, from hooking up with Demi Lovato, 18.

"It was really hot and heavy for a while," a source tells the site.

E! News adds that the "Skyscraper" singer didn't know the Lincoln Lawyer actor was going to be a father again "until it basically happened. It kind of threw her for a loop."

(Phillippe's ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp welcomed daughter Kai at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on July 1; the actor has yet to take a DNA test to prove his paternity. Phillippe also has two children -- Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7 -- from his first marriage to Reese Witherspoon.)

After seven months together, Phillippe split with on-off girlfriend Amanda Seyfriend in June 2011. Lovato's past loves include Wilmer Valderrama, Joe Jonas and Trace Cyrus.

Ryan Phillippe never dating with Demi Lovato, nor did anything with it ... She denied in 'EXTRATV' and Ryan's authorized representative also denied.

He's really old enough to be her father and its just so disgusting that shes only seven years younger than his daughter. He's a pedophile, I dont care if shes 18. Wasn't Amanda Seyfried young enough, 12 13 yrs younger than him. Someone needs to knock some sense into him. I hope for her sake this isnt true.

you better call rehab back, cause when he dumps her thats where she's going, she should know better than to go with a womanizer like him

Sarah, co-dependency doesn't make you happy.

Nothing like a 36 yr old man to help cure an 18 yr old bi-polar women

I don't have a problem with it. As long as she is enjoying happiness thats what counts.

Ryan you're dumb! You had Amanda Seyfriend! The sweetest hollywood actress!

Gee,what happened to the "purity ring" mumbo-jumbo? Guess that goes out the window once you turn 18.

That's just wrong. What can they possibly have in common other than showbiz and being good looking? When I men at that age hitting on me when I was her age I avoided them like the plague.
