Remember how much we adore Jake Gyllenhall, 29 and Reese Witherspoon, 33 as a couple? Sadly just this December it was confirmed that the used-to-be inseparable sweethearts have called it quits.
There’s no third party to blame in their breakup, “There are no other people involved. The relationship just ended. It just fizzled. But they also wanted to be careful and private about it because of Reese’s kids.” A source confirmed. However, it showed that some good things didn’t always last; their two years of togetherness didn’t survive the odds, “They needed time to figure it out and they were on different coasts. When they were finally together, they talked it out and decided they’re not going to be together anymore.”
One source close to Gylenhall reveals, “It broke his heart.” Although Reese experienced no problem in terms of Jake’s treatment towards her kid, it was told that Witherspoon still has qualms on being in a permanent situation with Jake due to differences, “She really worried that they didn’t have enough in common,” the pal says. She seemed to doubt Gyllenhall’s suitability as a step-father and a long-term partner, “She felt pressured to wed again but she wasn’t ready, she couldn’t give Jake enough and she got cold feet. Jake wanted all of her,” another one confirms.
The ex-couple met on a set while filming Rendition. They became a hot item last March 2007 while Reese was currently on the road to a divorce fight with Ryan Philippe. The rumor has it that this is one the factors of their separation.
