Us Weekly confirms Jake & Reese's break-up

"After nearly three years together, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal called it quits in early December. "It broke his heart", an insider reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly.Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon out for a stroll in Rome, on 13th March 2009.

A source close to Gyllenhaal, 29, explains that the once-golden couple "fought constantly in the past few months," and that the relationship concluded over a series of phone calls.

Adds another source, "No one cheated. There was no drama."

After the pair met on the set of the film Rendition, their romance began in March 2007 -- when Witherspoon, now 33, was still smarting from her 2006 divorce from husband of seven years Ryan Phillippe, 35, with whom she has two children (Ava, 10, and Deacon, 6). Indeed, sources say that her divorce and her kids were the two driving factors in the split.
"She felt pressured to wed again but she wasn't ready," an insider says. "She couldn't give Jake enough and she got cold feet. Jake wanted all of her."

Some shared moments between Jake and Reese throughout their relationship:

Although Gyllenhaal moved into her $5 million home in June 2008, Witherspoon struggled to quell her doubts about his suitability as a stepfather and long-term partner. "She really worried that they didn't have enough in common," the pal says.

As a hands-on Mom, the "super-type A" actress also fretted over losing time with her kids to her boyfriend. "When she was giving all of her energy to Jake, she felt like she wasn't giving her kids enough," the source says.Jake Gyllenhaal with Reese's son Deacon, October 2008.

Not that Gyllenhaal didn't try with Ava and Deacon, the insider points out: "He was great with the kids, but she felt like he didn't get the whole scope of what that entailed."

Hi Kendra,
anche se penso che Jake meriti di meglio, sono veramente dispiaciuta di questo addio...
Penso comunque che quando si ami si debba volere il bene dell'altra persona...
Chi possa aver ragione dei due in questo addio è molto difficile...
Reese ha ragione nel non sentirsi ancora pronta ( il divorzio, i suoi bambini, la sofferenza )...
Jake ha ragione nel pretendere di farsi una famiglia...
Peccato, tre anni persi dientro ad un amore senza concludere nulla di concreto per la propria vita di entrambi.-

well, Rosa, Reese is 33 years old, 4 years older than Jake, I guess as some sources online say she wasn't ready for the next step. She's a divorceé woman with two kids, and it was a bit of baggage for Jake maybe.

good Thursday :)
