She has two half-siblings, Ava Elizabeth Phillippe and Deacon Reese Phillippe. They are from her father’s ex-wife, Reese Witherspoon.

Ava Elizabeth was born in 1999 whereas Deacon Reese was born in 2003.

When Kai Knapp was born, it was a tough time for her mother, because Ryan Phillipe and Alexis Knapp were getting separated.

Alexis confirmed she was expecting in November 2010, just months after the couple’s breakup. She was working on the film So Undercover while she found she was carrying a baby.

Ignoring suspicions about the child’s paternity, the Cruel Intention star let his former girlfriend name her Kaliana Phillippe-Knapp.

On the other hand, her mother, Alexis Knapp is alleged to have had no knowledge she was expecting until she broke up with Ryan.

Kai was an 8lb infant at the time of birth at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. She is gifted with blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes.

Whatever happened between the two, Ryan Phillippe acted as the adoring father and was there with Alexis during the labor.

So, after Kai came into this world, the couple broke up officially and since then she has been raised by her mother all alone.

The Relationship of Ryan Phillippe and Alexis Knapp

Being a celebrity, Phillippe had a few relationships before and after Alexis Knapp. It all began when Phillippe met with Reese Witherspoon and fell hard for her.

It was her 21st birthday party at which he was invited. The same year, the two appeared in Cruel Intentions in 1999. It was a romantic teen movie and they got famous for their great chemistry.

The couple started dating and things between them got serious so the two decided to tie the knot on June 5, 1999. The whole wedding ceremony was intimate with only a few guests invited. 

When the two exchanged the vows at Old Wide Awake Plantation near Charleston, South Carolina, Witherspoon was already six months pregnant.

Despite the fact that the pair appeared to have everything, a wonderful relationship, flourishing professions, and lovely children.

But unfortunately, they needed to work hard on their marriage. After being together for so many years, Phillippe and Witherspoon broke up and she filed for a divorce on November 8, 2006.

However, the reason for their split was irreconcilable differences. Things got weird when the court refused to provide spousal support.

They also asked for legal joint custody of the children, which they filed on May 15, 2007, and finally, their divorce was finalized on October 5, 2007.

In May 2010, Phillippe started dating  Alexis Knapp. But their relationship was short-lived and the two split up in September of that year. 

Following their separation, Knapp found she was pregnant by Phillippe, which was a huge shock for both. In 2011, Knapp gave birth to a daughter, Kai Knapp.

Despite the fact that Phillippe is included as the last name of Kai, the part of the certificate that legally specifies the baby’s father is left blank.

“Ryan is aware of the situation [and] totally prepared to take responsibility should the child be his,” a source told PEOPLE in March 2011.
