London
(ANI):
Ryan
Phillippe
is
glad
that
his
ex-wife
Reese
Witherspoon
is
back
on
the
dating
scene
after
her
split
from
Jake
Gyllenhaal.
And
the
actor
is
happy
because
he
trusts
the
'Legally
Blonde" star
to
pick
a
suitable
boyfriend
to
act
as
a
father
figure
around
their
children.
The
pair
divorced
in
2006
after
seven
years
of
marriage,
and
Witherspoon
went
on
to
date
Gyllenhaal,
while
Phillippe
began
a
relationship
with
Abbie
Cornish.
Witherspoon
split
from
Gyllenhaal
late
last
year
(09)
and
has
since
been
linked
to
talent
agent
Jim
Toth.
Phillippe,
who
ended
his
romance
with
Cornish
in
February
(10),
has
claimed
that
he
always
approves
of
Witherspoon's
suitors,
because
he
knows
she
will
consider
the
best
interests
of
their
two
children
-
Ava,
10,
and
Deacon,
six.
"If
the
kids
care
about
mum
and
dad,
and
if
that's
consistent
and
they
feel
protected
that
way,
they
don't
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," the
Daily
Express
quoted
him
as
saying.
