Birth Certification and Resemblance
Kai Knapp’s birth certificate included ‘Phillippe’ as a part of her last name. However, the section to name the baby’s father was left blank.

During her birth, Alexis revealed that her daughter looked just like her dad. However, she began to resemble her mother later in her first year.
She looks like moi. A lot more so now. They always come out looking like the dads, because men are just fat and puffy and can’t open their eyes too much.

Relationship of Her Parents
Alexis Knapp and Ryan Phillippe first met and fell in love in 2010. The duo started dating in mid-2010 but broke up in September of the same year.
Ryan and Alexis discovered her pregnancy after they parted ways. The latter revealed her pregnancy a few months later in mid-February 2011. The former was dating actress, Amanda Seyfried at the time.

A month after revealing her pregnancy, in March 2011, Alexis disclosed that Ryan was the father.
Ryan has known since the beginning that he’s the dad. He is not taking a paternity test. He is a good father, and whether this is his baby or not, he wants to do the right thing and be supportive.
Although Ryan was the father, Alexis never really asked him for help.
She has never asked Ryan for any help, nor does she expect it. Alexis has maintained her silence and will continue to do so. Any ‘source’ claiming to have been her or her camp up to this point is false.
During Kai’s birth, Ryan was by her side during the delivery.
Two Step-Siblings
Kai Knapp has two step-siblings, Ava Elizabeth Phillippe and Deacon Reese Phillippe. Both are from her father, Ryan Phillippe’s marriage with his ex-wife, Reese Witherspoon.
