Years after his divorce from then wife Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe claimed he is open to another marriage. "I'm not opposed to [getting married again]," he told Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show in an interview on Wednesday, April 29.

The 40-year-old actor went on talking about his romance with current girlfriend Paulina Slagter, whom he's been dating for the past four years. He said their relationship is "serious." And when talking about Paulina, Ryan couldn't stop gushing about the 24-year-old law student.

"She's awesome. When people see her they have these judgments because she could be a model but she's about to graduate Stanford Law," Phillippe told Stern. "Also what's great about it - as you get older certain issues become more important to you. I'm very involved in civil rights issues, and so to be with a woman who could actually make an impact in the legal realm - that's a beautiful thing."

"This is a [George] Clooney move," Stern commented, referring to the Oscar winner's recent marriage to British lawyer Amal Alamuddin. "George is with Amal [Alamuddin] and she's a sexy woman."

Ryan Phillipe married actress Reese Witherspoon in 1999. The couple, who divorced in 2008, have two children together; daughter Ava, 15, and son Deacon, 11.
