Gyllenhaal, Witherspoon Call It Quits

Indie fave, Oscar winner dated for about 2 years

Share

(Newser) – Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have split up after about 2 years of high-powered, high-profile coupledom. Walk the Line Oscar winner Witherspoon, 33, and Brokeback Mountain Oscar nominee Gyllenhaal, 28, met while working on Rendition in 2007, People reports. A cynic would expect to see him linked next to Natalie Portman, who co-stars with him—and the married Tobey Maguire—in the forthcoming love-triangle flick Brothers.

What's up with that family? Donny Darko and Secretary. Now, that is just talent. Reese? Who cares? Her ex ran off with that beautiful girl from Ledger's best film. So yeah, you can be Reese Witherspoon and men still have the cajones to leave your controlling ass.

Apparently once he grew his own beard, he didn't need Reese. Reply
