When Ryan Phillippe's ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp was spotted last week with an obvious baby bump, there was no official confirmation of the speculation that Ryan is in fact the baby daddy.
But Alexis' mother Marjorie Knapp has broken the official silence and tells Breaking Celebrity News exclusively that Ryan is indeed the father.

"Oh yes, I believe that it is his baby," Marjorie Knapp told Breaking Celebrity News exclusively. "I'm very proud of her. She did the right thing. She's keeping the baby and not having an abortion.
"She told me right away that it was Ryan's. They were in a relationship."
The Cruel Intentions actor began dating Alexis, 26, last June after he split from long-time girlfriend Abbie Cornish. But the beautiful couple parted ways in October when Phillippe was rumored to have been caught making out with another woman at his 36th birthday bash.
Marjorie confirmed that there will be a paternity test, and she's positive the outcome will reveal Ryan to be the father.
"They are going to do a paternity test, but Alexis wasn't with anyone else," Marjorie told Breaking Celebrity News adamantly.
When asked if Ryan believes he's the father, she responded: "I would think so. They were in a relationship for almost a year.
"By Hollywood standards, I would say they were girlfriend and boyfriend," she added with a laugh. "They were together at least 10 months."
The excited grandmother-to-be only wants the best for her daughter: "I wish it would have turned out differently. I wish he would have been committed to her," she says of Reese Witherspoon's ex husband.
