I was actually rooting for these two to live happily ever after. If only for Reese sake. After her divorce, I was hoping she will find true love again. But, alas. This relationship was perhaps not meant to be. Reports from People Magazine say the couple have split. No other details have been given and no one is yet officially giving their statement.

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal met on the set of Rendition in 2007. She was fresh out of her divorce from actor Ryan Philippe. And in 2008, the two were seen together often. Without even admitting their relationship in public, photos of them always together confirmed that Reese and Jake were indeed in a relationship.

In the last recent months, the two spent wonderful vacations together, giving no inkling that they would have split up by Winter. (What timing?! To break up during the holiday season?)

I do hope this isn’t just some publicity stunt. Reese has her Four Christmases DVD out this month, while Jake’s Prince of Persia is coming up soon. None of these projects are actually making a big buzz. If in the next couple of weeks we see reports that they’re back together, then I’m convinced this is all just for show.

Hollywood, eh?
