Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal Split?

By Rob Shuter Posted Dec 15th 2009 04:58PM

Just weeks before Jake Gyllenhaal was planning to propose to Reese Witherspoon (which we previously reported), PopEater's Rob Shuter has learned exclusively that the couple have split. A source close to the couple says that the Hollywood duo had reached that ever-trying breaking point in their relationship, leading to their break-up.

"The relationship was at the point where they either got engaged or broke up," a friend of Jake's tells me. "There is no doubt that they love each other very much, but Reese wasn't ready to say 'I do.' And if she wasn't ready after two years of dating, Jake wondered if she ever would be."

Both are said to be devastated by the split, and although friends hope for them to get back together, most agree it's very doubtful.

Reps have not returned calls for comment as of yet.

"There is no doubt that they love each other very much"

LOL!

There is no doubt that the "relationship" was PR stunt to make Jake look straight and dumped Reese "happy and so over Ryan".

I've never got so much as a blip on the "gaydar" from Jake Gyllenhaal, so I have to disagree. It's not like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes where it is BEYOND obvious that he's queer.

By Trudie

She has 2 children, my hope is that things work out in whatever way is best for the kids. They have already been thru a break up with the parents, they don't need to see their mom sad again.

You are an idiot - just because Jake played a gay man, doesn't make him a gay man...

By MR TAYLOR

I am sure that some gay guy is going to go with a women or 2 years to make him look straight. They were in love and it didn't work out not because Jake was gay it just didn't work it....

What planet are you living on MR TAYLOR? How long has John Travolta been married? We all know he's queer as a three dollar bill. Gay men stay married to "beards" for whole lifetimes.

By Stephen Dixon

Rock Hudson was married for years to cover his gay side!

By diane

I was really hoping they'd make it, but he's got a point.. even so, look at Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, etc.

By Austin from Texas

Leave Jake alone. He is my man. I told him to get rid of the beard or else.

By Lynne

Oh, I was hoping they would make it.. both are so cute and good actors and actresses... but Hollywood.... it will kill you...

By chulajaq

AHHH.
This makes me sad. Too bad Reese got burned so bad. I am sure this is what makes her 'squirelly' about marriage again.
Too too bad. Damn.

By um

What an idiot. I'd marry Jake. And why does everyone say he's gay? Is it just the Brokeback Mountain thing?

Why doesn't everyone butt out and just leave Jake and Reese alone. It is their lives, let them live it. The media and fans are just too nosy.

A handsome rich man who loves you and your children, and you love him...I AM...STUNNED

him being gay and she is probably afraid of the money she would have to pay when the finally split up!

By stratpuck

I guess she is not worth waiting for....he's a moron.

By juicy

I love to see break ups...I hope everyone breaks up (except those close to me)...serves them right...so they can feel what I feel!

By Rose

What a sad loser you are to wish pain and sadness on everyone else. Your attitude is exactly why you will never be happy. Your a moron. You need to get off here and stop wishing other people unhappiness and get a life.

By OldSalt

Rose, you should be careful who you call a moron, when you spell the word (you're) incorrectly.

ya okay and Life and Style Magazine also reported this and they also reported that so many other "believeable stories" NOT!!!! I believe Reese and Ryan are in ove and are happy and will be seen together next week and everyone will report oh they are back together again even know they never broke up in the first lace just like it was two weeks ago. Give me a break and just leave people alone and actually report news when you have the actual facts and not just gossip and rumors.
