Ryan Phillippe is causing a stir on social media with his latest shirtless escapades!
The 49-year-old actor decided to ditch his shirt and flaunt his toned physique in a series of Instagram thirst traps. This bold move came just a day after his ex-wife, Reese Witherspoon, was spotted cozying up with financier Oliver Haarmann, sparking romance rumors.
In the first post, Phillippe couldn't help but gush over his "mad lovely" hibiscus flower while posing next to a blooming bush, sporting nothing but a pair of shorts.
Comments flooded in from his followers, with one cheekily noting, "Yea ain't no one looking at your hibiscus." Another admirer chimed in, "The hibiscus ain't the only thing that's mad lovely in this pic!"
Hours later, Phillippe treated his followers to a slideshow of his "beach visit fantasy," featuring him swimming in the ocean wearing board shorts and an alien mask.
The adventure continued as he rode a jet ski in subsequent slides before finally collapsing on his couch, wrapped in a vibrant purple towel.
Despite their social media presence, Phillippe and Witherspoon, who were married from 1999 to 2008, do not follow each other on the platform. However, they have come together on numerous occasions over the years to co-parent their children, daughter Ava, 24, and son Deacon, 20, attending graduation ceremonies and other family events.
Phillippe is also a father to daughter Kai, 13, from his previous relationship with Alexis Knapp, while Witherspoon, 48, shares son Tennessee, 11, with her ex-husband Jim Toth, from whom she split in March 2023.
Despite their past, the former couple has maintained an amicable relationship, as evidenced by their joint appearances at family gatherings. In a heartwarming moment, Witherspoon and Phillippe were seen together at Deacon's album release party, showcasing their continued support for their children.
Reflecting on their shared history, Phillippe took a trip down memory lane in May, sharing "hot" throwback photos from the 2001 "Legally Blonde" premiere on his Instagram Stories. Tagging Witherspoon in the post, the actor reminisced about their time together, but the "Big Little Lies" star remained silent on social media.
While Witherspoon has yet to address the rumors surrounding her alleged relationship with Haarmann, her representative swiftly shut down any speculation linking her to Tom Brady last year.
As the social media saga continues to unfold, fans eagerly await more updates from the Hollywood exes and their respective journeys in love and life.
