Jake and Reese: Shacked Up and Altar Bound

by celebuzz on Jun. 26, 2008 04:01 PM / 8 Comments

Sorry, fellas, looks like the window of opportunity to hook up with hunky Jake Gyllenhaal is rapidly slamming shut.

As previously predicted, the Brokeback Mountaineer has moved in with his Legally Blonde girlfriend, Reese Witherspoon, according to Us Weekly.

Along with a space in the toothbrush holder, Gyllenhaal has secured a role in raising Reese's two kids, Ava and Deacon, from her marriage to Ryan Phillippe. Presumably, the 27-year-old actor—who has professed his eagerness to have kids of his own—is looking for some daddy practice.

Up next: a seemingly inevitable knot-tying ceremony. Sources close to Reese say, "Marriage is definitely what they are working toward," and "they don't want to spend any time away from each other."

With Witherspoon's divorce from Phillippe finalized earlier this month, the skies are clear for matrimonial takeoff.

Congratulations, you two! May you have many years of gradually wanting to spend more time away from each other.

“A few weeks after Reese Witherspoon's divorce from Ryan Phillippe became final, Jake Gyllenhaal has pulled off a secret move into Reese's $5 million L.A. home.

And word on the street is that Hollywood's most boring unmarried couple is getting verrrrry serious.

In addition to subbing in for Ryan as surrogate daddy to the kids, Jake is already considered 'party of the family.'

'Marriage is definitely what they are working toward,' says one Reese insider. Another friend dishes: 'they literally don't want to spend any time away from each other.'

Reese can try to pull of the whole Demi Moore/Bruce Willis/Ashton Kutcher union, but until Jake and Ryan develop a twenty-five year age gap, homeboys are gonna be stepping on each other's toes like two egos in a boxing ring.

Yup. It's over. Pretty soon Ryan's kids will even be calling him 'Uncle Ry.' He should just go start a new family with Abbie Cornish...”

“Reese Witherspoon puffs up her cheeks as she drinks a gulp of water outside her friend’s house in Brentwood, Calif. on Monday.

A battle of past and future Mrs. Witherspoons will be going down at this year’s Teen Choice Awards. Current squeeze Jake Gyllenhaal and ex-husband Ryan Phillippe will be battling it out for male actor in a drama. Jake starred in Rendition while Ryan was in "Stop-Loss."”

“Reese Witherspoon channels her inner super soccer mom outside of her Brentwood, Calif., home with daughter Ava, 8, on Saturday.

Earlier this weekend, Reese, 32, was seen with boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal taking private yoga sessions in Santa Monica.

Ms. Witherspoon also recently landed in the Forbes‘ Celebrity 100 List, ranking at #60. The mag said, “Witherspoon will star in the big-budget comedy Four Christmases this winter. She also landed an estimated $30 million, three-year contract to pitch Avon cosmetics.””

“It's been a while since the last time we saw Ryan Phillippe being cozy with the new love in his life since Reese. He recently admitted that seeing pictures of his ex-wife with her new boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal doesn't evoke the warmest of feelings in his heart, but now it's his turn to be seen out and about on the dating scene.

The "Stop-Loss" costars chose the 2008 Australian in Film Breakthrough Awards as their first industry public outing. Cornish was at the event to receive her Breakthrough Award. Another guest at the event said of the affectionate couple, "They were adorable. He had his arm around her and they were cozy and comfortable."

It seems like Ryan waited quite a bit before moving forward with this publicly. I have to say whatever he may have done, he's done a good job of keeping his shit pretty private and I tip my hat to him at the same time as I clench my fist in frustration at my inability to squeeze more gossip out of him.”

Jerk? C'mon now.... Ryan is one of the most wholesome dudes in all of Hollywood.

Reese is just an ego-obsessed fugly troll who's trying to get JAke to stop sipping on his Brokeback martinis.
