Just as Reese Witherspoon is seen stepping out with a new beau, her ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe, turned up the heat on social media. The Hollywood star, 49, known for his roles in films like Cruel Intentions, took to Instagram to share not one, but two shirtless thirst traps that quickly caught the internet's attention.
On Thursday, July 30, amid swirling rumors of 48-year-old Witherspoon's outing with financier Oliver Haarmann, Phillippe decided it was the perfect moment to showcase his own blooms — both floral and physical. "my hibiscus mad lovely rn," he quipped in his first post, standing beside a pink hibiscus. "Yea ain't no one looking at your 🌸," teased a follower, capturing the cheeky mood of the comments section.
The engagement didn't stop there. Later, the award-winning actor posted a series of photos from a "beach visit fantasy," where he frolicked in the ocean wearing board shorts and an alien mask. This share had fans commenting in jest with statements like, "I've never wanted to be probed by an alien before" and "I've never wanted to be a towel until now. Lol j/k I'll behave." Yet another fan remarked, "This man only gets more finer 😮💨".
Phillippe's social media escapade arrives just a day after Witherspoon, with whom he shares two children, Ava, 24, and Deacon, 20, was spotted in New York City with Haarmann, 56. According to People, an unidentified source says the two are just "friends." Another insider shares more insight on the Legally Blonde icon's approach to her love life, stating she's "taking things slow when it comes to dating." The source went on to say, "She enjoys it but doesn't want it to be a big focus. She's busy with work and her son — these are her biggest priorities."
Despite the former couple's non-following status on the Gram, they have maintained a cordial relationship since announcing their split in 2006.
