Ryan Phillippe and his girlfriend, Abbie Cornish, are taking their relationship to the next level — the Australian actress is spending Thanksgiving with the Stop-Loss star and his kids, Ava, 9, and Deacon, 5.

The first thing to be thankful for? The fact that 34-year-old Ryan is a pro in the kitchen!

“Ryan is a really great cook,” Abbie told OK! at the Oct. 15 Jay-Z concert at the Hollywood Palladium in L.A. “He’s very clever.”

Spending the holidays with each other is another indication that this low-key couple, who’ve been dating on and off since October 2006, are very much together. “He’s a gorgeous guy, and I love him very much,” Abbie told OK!.

Meanwhile, Ryan’s Flags of Our Fathers co-star Jesse Bradford gives Ryan props as a father.

“He’s a fantastic dad,” Jesse told OK! at the NYC premiere of W. on Oct. 14. “I never see him get frustrated with his kids. He treats them like they’re equal people with a real footing in life. I only hope to be as good a dad one day.”

And as Abbie and Ryan’s relationship gets more serious, the usually private Reese Witherspoon is also opening up about life with Jake Gyllenhaal.

“He’s very supportive,” the Oscar winner told Vogue. “I’m very happy in life, and I’m very lucky to have a lot of really supportive people around me who are very much for  me."
