RYAN PHILLIPPE'S NEW GIRL DENIES AFFAIR

Ryan Phillippe

Actress Abbie Cornish has denied having an affair with Ryan Phillippe. It was reported that the 24-year-old Australian beauty had been romancing the actor, who split from Reese last month after meeting him on the Texas set of their independent film 'Stop Loss'. Abbie has now vehemently denied the allegations, insisting the pair were nothing more than "good friends".She told Star magazine: "We were very good friends and we did spend a lot of time together, yeah. But we're friends and that's it." It was alleged that Abbie and Ryan were quite blatant about their relationship in front of the cast and crew, despite the fact that the 32-year-old actor was married. A source previously said: "Ryan did not go out of his way to hide the fact that he was having a fling with Abbie. Besides the fact they were spotted making out in a sushi restaurant together, she was spotted many times leaving his loft apartment."Reese, 30, was said to have found out about her husband's alleged infidelity after reading a racy message on his BlackBerry handheld computer-and-phone.The 'Walk The Line' actress recently filed for divorce from Ryan citing 'irreconcilable differences' and asking for joint custody of the couple's children - seven-year-old Ava and three-year-old Deacon.
