Ryan Phillippe's pregnant ex lands modelling job

Ryan Phillippe's ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp says she needs to "bring home" the bacon for her unborn child.

The actress-and-model - who claims she is carrying the actor's baby - has got a job as a maternity model and she is delighted to have landed a lucrative contract ahead of the birth.

As she arrived back in her home city of Los Angeles yesterday (23.03.11), she wrote on her twitter page: "Back in LA, home sweeeet home. 1st maternity modeling job done. Let's keep em comin mama needs to bring home tha Bacon!! (sic)"

Alexis is believed to be in the "in the second trimester" of her pregnancy and is reportedly due to deliver the tot in June.

'Lincoln Lawyer' star Ryan reportedly intends to take a paternity test to determine if he is the baby's father, and if so he intends to fully support Alexis - whom he dated on and off for several months until September 2010 - and will play an active role in the baby's upbringing.

The 36-year-old actor already has two children, daughter Ava, 11, and seven-year-old son Deacon, with his ex-wife Reese Witherspoon, who he split from in October 2006.

He is currently dating 'Red Riding Hood' actress Amanda Seyfried.
