Is it over between Reese and Jake?
Well, we didn’t see much of the two actors hanging out together and now it seems that the love affair between Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal didn’t last long, People has gathered. The new divorcee wants to spend more time with her children and having a relationship at this moment isn’t a great idea to nurture a new love. Too bad for Jake. As a bachelor, he would like to see more of Reese. And Reese’s first and foremost priority isn’t him but her family.
Reese, who won an Oscar for her award-winning performance for her portrayal as Johnny Cash’s wife June Carter from the movie “Walk the Line,” got separated from her husband Ryan Phillippe last year. The reason: Her two kids–Ava,7, Deacon, 3–and are much more important than Jake. A source who is said to be close to the two told People that the affair “is totally and completely over.”
“”Reese and Jake just recently broke up. It’s totally and completely over. 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 and he really demanded that. They’re still friends. Things are fine, but it was a clean break–there’s no chance of getting back together.”
Reese and Jake became close after starring in “Rendition” earlier this year keeping their relationship away from the curious public. The only time they were seen together was the “date” in Los Angeles restaurant Il Sole in March where Reese and Jake were spotted “being playful.” However, the enterprising paparazzi didn’t get the chance to snap the two proving that they were indeed lovers. There were speculations that they were just friends but the sight of the two really tried hard not to be seen.
Reese’s ex, Ryan, admitted in February that he was having a hard time coping with the new setup. However, he recently requested the court to grat him visitation rights though without demanding any spousal support from Reese, who earns more than Ryan. The actor is entitled 50 per cent of Reese’s fortunes as the two didn’t sign any prenuptial agreement.
It isn’t known if Reese would give Ryan a second chance. If not for Ryan’s infidelity the two wouldn’t have been separated. It was rumoured that Ryan and young actress Abby Cornish had a brief liaison and Reese found out about it.
