If you've been on the Gay Internet recently you probably realized that there's a lot of talk about Ryan Phillippe's sexuality going around. Sure, we'd all love it if this pouty-lipped blonde heartthrob was gay, but sadly this is probably not the case. Maybe his seven-year marriage to Reese Witherspoon tipped people off. Whatever the case, everyone and his DILF are trying to wrap his head around this new development, and we have all of the details right here.

Ryan Phillippe got in on the Christmastime fun this year by posting a picture of himself cuddled up to a bearded daddy next to a big and festive Christmas tree. Both men have on huge grins and the mystery man is even wearing seasonal socks and a Santa hat. So cute! But it's the caption that really got lips flapping. Phillippe captioned this cute bromance-filled pic with "Merry Christmas from our house to yours." Hmm! Well, it's not not gay.

Of course, the Internet lost its damn mind over this, with rumors related to Ryan Phillippe's sexuality instantly swirling around. Did Ryan Phillippe just come out? Is this bearded dude the person he has the pleasure of having gay sex with on the reg? Do gay men really watch football on Christmas? All these questions and more were left unanswered until the bearded boy - whose name is Matt Sinn - finally took to his Instagram Story to clear things up. He posted a picture of their girlfriends together along with the caption "No, Ryan didn't come out. Here are the girlfriends."

But hold on one minute. We're not about to let Matt Sinn off the hook that easily. For a brief but glorious moment the world thought that Ryan Phillippe was gay, so to get the most out of this historic occasion, let's look at what might have been. Let's look at shirtless pics of Ryan's random bro friend Matt Sinn. It's what Jesus would have wanted. Merry (belated) Christmas everyone!
