Ryan Phillippe & Abbie Cornish Back On

Now sources are saying that Ry is getting cozy again with actress Abbie Cornish, the girl who may or may not have been the reason for the Ryan/Reese split in the first place. The couple was alleged to have had a brief fling while co-starring in the upcoming movie Stop Loss (they both deny it), but according to the New York Daily News, the pair have now become more than just friends. A close pal says, "They are a real couple. [The relationship] has really grown. She's spending time with his kids- it's not like she's on the side. She's part of the family."

Believable, considering Abbie and Ry's kids were photographed Christmas shopping together last weekend. A spy told Us Weekly, "Ava seemed very comfortable with Abbie. Ava picked a wreath, and Abbie put it around her head as a joke. They both were laughing." Another source adds, "Going out together and leaking a few photos is their discreet way of letting the public know it's official. It's not like you can send out a press release about these things."

You can't? Why not? It would be so much easier. Anyway, do you think Reese cares?
