Ryan trusts Witherspoon to chose right suitor

London: Ryan Phillippe is happy that his ex-wife Reese Witherspoon is dating again after her split from Jake Gyllenhaal because he trusts her to pick a suitable boyfriend to act as a father figure around their children.

Witherspoon and Phillipe divorced in 2006 after seven years of marriage. While the "Legally Blonde" star went on to date Gyllenhaal, Phillippe began a relationship with Australian actress Abbie Cornish. Phillippe insists he always approves of Witherspoon`s suitors because he knows she will consider the best interests of their two children - Ava, 10, and Deacon, 6, reports dailystar.co.uk. "If the kids care about mum and dad, and if that`s consistent and they feel protected that way, they don`t really care so much about who the parent is dating. They just don`t... I trust her to make the right decisions around our children. I hope she feels the same way," he said. IANS
