OK! Magazine features Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal on the cover of the latest issue with the bold headline stating that they are “Ready to Wed!” The actors met during the 2007 filming of Rendition and are close to announcing an engagement, according to the magazine.
The 32 year old actress divorced Ryan Phillippe in October 2007 after an 8 year union. The couple have a four year old son Deacon and an eight year old daughter Ava.
According to the OK! source:
They’ve been talking marriage for a while. They’ll be formally engaged any day now. They want to spend the rest of their lives together. This is a very serious relationship but Reese is very conservative and traditional. I’m sure she doesn’t want her kids to see her living in sin.”
When contacted by OK!, reps for Witherspoon had no comment. Jake’s people left the door slightly ajar by stating that there are no immediate plans for a wedding. Hmmm. The actor has not previously been married. He is the godfather to Matilda Rose Ledger, daughter of Michelle Williams and the late Heath Ledger.
Jake Gyllenhaal, 27, is currently working on the movie Nailed with Jessica Biel. The couple and the rest of the film crew walked off the work site in a dispute over money this week. Apparently there aren’t enough funds to pay the cast. Screen Actor’s Guild union officials plan to keep all cast members from the film project until the production company deposits the necessary funds into a union-mandated account.
Veteran actor James Caan quit his planned cameo role in the project after getting into a blowout with the director David O’ Russell. The screen play was co-written by Al Gore‘s daughter Kristin. It is thought the the money issues will be resolved by next week and the movie should get back into production soon.
