Reese and Jake Call It Quits

Celebrity couple Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal called it quits in early December. “It broke his heart,” an insider reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. The two had been together for almost three years.

They made the split over the phone and there were no third parties involved. A source from the actor’s camp said that it was the actress who initiated the breakup but the decision was mutual and amicable.

Witherspoon believes that she was spending more time with Gyllenhaal rather than with her two kids Ava, 10 and Deacon, 6 from her previous marriage to actor Ryan Philippe (Cruel Intentions). She also thinks that Gyllenhaal is not the man whom he thinks would be the best stepfather for the kids – not that he didn’t try.

However, it was also said that Witherspoon is not yet ready to settle down again after her divorce with her former husband. Gyllenhaal is said to already want all of her and she cannot commit.

“She felt pressured to wed again but she wasn’t ready,” an insider says. “She couldn’t give Jake enough and she got cold feet. Jake wanted all of her.”
