Full Story
Jake Gyllenhaal is a name that is synonymous with Hollywood. Known for his roles in movies like “Brokeback Mountain” and “Nightcrawler,” Gyllenhaal’s personal life has also been the topic of much speculation. One of his most high-profile relationships was with actress Reese Witherspoon.
According to People, Gyllenhaal and Witherspoon knew each other through her ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe. However, things heated up between the two while filming the 2007 movie “Rendition.” A source close to Witherspoon told the publication, “Jake went and reintroduced himself to Reese . . . Things slowly progressed, but it was never something she thought would happen from the start. She just kind of developed this little crush over time.”
Witherspoon confirmed her relationship with Gyllenhaal in a 2008 interview with Vogue (via E! News). She spoke fondly of her new boyfriend, saying, “He’s very supportive . . . Suffice it to say, I’m very happy in life, and I’m very lucky to have a lot of really supportive people around me who care very much for me, and that’s all you can hope for in life.”
Throughout their relationship, Gyllenhaal and Witherspoon were often spotted together, sometimes with her children. However, the couple split in November 2009. People reported that the breakup was partially due to Gyllenhaal’s desire to get married, while Witherspoon was more cautious after her divorce from Phillippe. A source told the publication, “Reese was the one who had to do it. She just got out of a divorce and was so concerned with her family, she just didn’t have the time for him.”
Despite their split, Gyllenhaal has spoken highly of Witherspoon. In a 2016 interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said, “She is . . . one of the smartest, strongest people I’ve ever met.”
