Jake Gyllenhaal Brings Ex to the Golden Globes

By Kelly Fisher Posted Jan 17th 2011 09:50AM

Jake Gyllenhaal had a stunning redhead on his arm Sunday night at the Golden Globes, and he has everyone buzzing as to who the mystery girl is.

Well, the mystery ends here. Gyllenhaal brought ex-girlfriend and former child star Jenny Lewis as his date to the big show, according to PEOPLE. He was up for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical for his role in 'Love and Other Drugs,' but lost to Paul Giamatti in 'Barney's Version.'

Lewis, 35, has starred in 'Troop Beverly Hills,' 'The Wizard' and 'Foxfire' -- alongside Angelina Jolie -- but has recently spent time as the frontwoman of the indie rock band Rilo Kiley.

Gyllenhaal and Lewis dated back in 2001, and though their romantic relationship didn't last, they have remained good friends.

Gyllenhaal even took ex-girlfriend Reese Witherspoon to catch a set by Lewis back in 2009 at the Hollywood Bowl. The couple hung out with Lewis and her boyfriend, Jonathan Rice, after the show.

Gyllenhaal has been in the romantic spotlight recently for dating 21-year-old singer Taylor Swift. The couple reportedly broke up last month.

Jenny Lewis is dating her Jenny and Johnny band mate, Johnathon Rice. I don't think this is anything but a friendship (as far as I know anyways).

well if i was johnathan rice jenny lewis would no longer be dating me. if i'm dating a girl her ex is no longer her friend.....period. that's just asking for disaster. dump the hobag.

Jeff that is just plain immature! An ex doesn't have to be someone you can't be friends with. My best friend is an ex and I would miss her is she ever stopped being my friend. You just need to grow up!

By Kim

Jeff- Did you just call Jenny Lewis a "hoebag". You're clearly insecure, hence the abrasive response to your hypothetical situation in regards to your non-exsistent girlfriend. Anyway, you're an idiot.

Everyone else - Jenny Lewis is amazing.

Old news! Jake's taken Jenny to events before. She's a great musician and has done amazing solo work since Rilo Kiley.

By Jess

I'm glad someone else recognizes her. I cannot describe the disappointment I felt when I saw she was in the news listed as "Jake Gyllenhaal's Ex" and "Former Child Star" instead of "Current Indie Rock star".

IT was just a date. Lucky Jenny..

He called. I was busy. He suggested the Oscars instead.

Taylor Swift is a nice girl, a Virgin. Jake broke up with her because she refused to do his homo azz....

lucky girl!!

Jake loves the "beards"
Paul Giamatti won over the other 4 nominees is a reason i will not watch this "show" ever again. Ricky Was Fantastic though.

By Carry

I believe Jake is gay and use women as beards. Taylor Swift fronts only gay men.

people that say that Jake Gyllenhaal is gay... are totally crazy!! It is an absurd thing to say!
It's an outstanding actor, young and gorgeous...he's got all...so it must be someone out there that is jealous...of this perfect man!
Today ..For all the men and women it's not easy to find the right person.... the one...
So Jake is just looking for the right one (I wish to be that one!!) ...and I advice him to take itself all the time that it will be necessary and to be very demanding.
A man as Jake deserves a "unique " woman ....just as him!
Jake Gyllenhaal is the hottest man in this world at the moment and ....this is only the beginning!
