Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish make it official with first red carpet appearance


Ryan Phillippe, 34, flew into his girlfriend Abbie Cornish’s native Australia this weekend to reportedly spend the holidays with her family. The couple took another big step and posed on the red carpet together at their second public appearance. They were photographed inside at an event together in June, and again at her 26th birthday party in Vegas, but until now have not walked the red carpet together. They were seen at a Calvin Klein fashion show on Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour on Tuesday night. Ryan was supporting Abbie, who is one of the new ambassadors for the brand.

This is often a big move for a celebrity couple to take, depending on how press-shy they are. While some celebrities take a joint event appearance lightly, kissing and cuddling on the red carpet after a couple of weeks, Ryan and Abbie have been together a long time, there are hardly any paparazzi photos of them out at LA-area hot spots, and this is no doubt a calculated move on their part. You have to wonder if an engagement is in the works, and I bet the tabloids will soon be speculating about it. They look very happy together and that would be great news.

    I think they made it official when they cheated together on the film set, oh yeah and when they broke up his marriage!

  2. IMO says:

    He looks like a jerk.

    While she seems attentive (and beautiful, if I may add) and leaning toward him, he seems self centered and mainly facing the photographers, rather than leaning back towards her.

    I don’t understand why this seemingly lovely woman is even remotely interested in him.

    He is bland as an actor and seems like an idiot in real like.

    Holy news-from-nowheresville…

  4. Syko says:

    I like them both. I hope they can keep their relationship going well. If not, Ryan, my number is 904-22…

  5. MGG says:

    She is painfully average. There’s 20 girls who look just like her at the local mall here…yawn

  6. vdantev says:

    Who knew Abbie was into gayboys.

  7. Kristen says:

    I think (just my opinion) that they have kept it low profile to precent further damage to Ryan’s career (I use that term loosely).

    It seems like he went into damage control after the “affair” came out. And yes I realize that’s his job – but the whole “I woke and would vomit. and I wanted to kill myself?” just seemed like another one of his mediocre performances.

    Abbie is beautiful and talented. Her career will do well (probably better than Ryan’s).

    Dullsville.

  9. mel says:

    I actually like her too, although I’m a faithful Reese fan. If I could throw a shoe it would probably be at Ryan P. and Brad Pitt for cheating on their former wives.

  10. elisha says:

    EWWWWWWWWWWWW Brangelina 2.0!!!

    (Which makes Reese Maniston 2.0)

  11. Kaiser says:

    I love her dress, but I couldn’t pull off that color.

    Otherwise, meh. Take him, Syko.

  12. Baholicious says:

    I think Taupe is a ‘winter’ colour Kaiser. I can’t believe I just said that…

  13. Dirty Martini says:

    He’s cute. She’s slightly better than average.

    WHile I’m Team Reese, she doesn’t seem to be hurting these days and really has moved on.

    So I’ll do him. And then — since he’ll be useless to other women thereafter — I’ll get him a job at my favorite Mexican restaurant to serve me margaritas every Friday from now til eternity.

    There’s a plan…..

  14. andrea says:

    not gunna lie I don’t get the whole Abby thing. I know its not about looks….but she is no Reese…I’m sure she is lovely…

  15. ohmygosh says:

    I love them togheter, they seem so happy!!! and Abbie is a gorgeous woman 🙂

  16. aleach says:

    theyre cute together. i havent seen any of her movies (i dont think i have anyways…) but i think shes super cute.
    and hes hot as hell.

  17. LOL says:

    Ahaha wow … people seem pretty flippant here about affairs and ‘moving on’ and then insulting the wounded party and their respective facial features or careers.

    I can only hope that one of these “hot women” pawing at their keyboards gets cheated on and left for a younger (supposedly) better looking woman while the workplace and locals cheer on the ex! LOL. Sad.

  18. dovesgate says:

    He will probably cheat on her when her career gets bigger than his.

  19. cooler than you says:

    that will prolly be sooner than later, she’s going places

  20. Codzilla says:

    He always has such a smug look on his face.

  21. maxine says:

    OMG I love them together. I just saw this linked from another site. I can’t imagine why people project their personal feelings and assumptions onto actors. They didn’t do anything to you so enjoy their talent and gorgeousness and relax.

    If you haven’t seen Abbie in anything try Candy she was awesome with Heath and Stop Loss the movie Ryan and Abbie made together was great
