Reese & Jake - For Real?


According to People, things are heating up between Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal.

At first they seemed like an unlikely match: Gyllenhaal, her costar in the upcoming CIA thriller Rendition, was already an acquaintance – he was an old workout buddy of Phillippe – and they didn't have much screen time together while filming for eight weeks in Morocco. But during a reshoot in L.A., "Jake went and reintroduced himself to Reese," a source close to both stars tells PEOPLE in its new issue. And from there, what a friend of Witherspoon's calls "their little flirtation" just took its course.

"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."
One that is looking a lot like a real romance – even when the duo are apart.

While Witherspoon, 31, spent Easter Sunday with daughter Ava, 7, and son Deacon, 3, at her Episcopal church in Beverly Hills, Gyllenhaal, 26, strolled around Venice, Calif., with his parents. According to a source close to both him and Witherspoon, familial devotion is a big part of their connection: "Jake finds it attractive that she's such a great mom. He really loves kids and wants a family."


"She was happy to meet someone in this town who shared those priorities." Gyllenhaal's pal agrees: "They're super together – this thing is for real."

Oh what did I see about this pairing...bring on Gyllenspoon or something like that. hehe Funny.

I like em both...they're just the cutest damn 20 somethings! (They are still in their 20's aren't they?) If I ever saw them I'd probably just scoop them up and bear hug 'em!

Sorry People Magazine, I'm not buying this coupling.

la - I'm not convinced either, although they would be sweet together. They kind of make sense as they both like to avoid 'the scene' and like to keep to themselves.
