You can currently see Abbie Cornish in two places:

  1. On screen alongside Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth: The Golden Age;
  2. On the sidewalk, alongside Ryan Phillippe’s daughter, Ava.

Us Weekly reports in its new issue that Cornish, who was rumored to be the main reason Phillippe split with Reese Witherspoon, still has “a ton of chemistry” with the actor – and has even been seen often with Phillippe and Witherspoon’s kids.

On December 2, the couple took Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4, shopping in Los Angeles.

“Ava seemed very comfortable with Abbie,” said a witness. “Ava picked a wreath and Abbie put it around her head as a joke. They were both laughing.”

So, is Ryan Phillippe truly smitten with Abbie Cornish?

“Abbie is a free spirit. She indulges a side of Ryan that he’s kept under wraps for years,” said an insider.
