Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal kept their distance and barely made eye contact at the Toronto Film Festival “Rendition” press conference last week.
“This is the harshest split they’ve had,” a source tells Us. “Reese told Jake it’s best they don’t talk at all.”
They remained distant at the afterparty, where Witherspoon kept to herself and Gyllenhaal chatted with his mom and costar Peter Sarsgaard (sister Maggie’s beau). But by 11 p.m., when they hit the fete for George Clooney’s movie Michael Clayton, the frostiness melted: “They seemed like a couple,” an eyewitness tells Us. “Reese was happy and having a good time.”But the next morning, they left Toronto separately. She headed to L.A.; he flew to NYC.
These two have had a rocky relationship from the get-go. It will be interesting to see where this goes.
