Reese Witherspoon & Jake Gyllenhaal’s relationship annoys his ex & his mum
It looks like Ryan Phillippe isn’t the only one annoyed by Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal’s increasingly serious relationship: his ex-girlfriend Kirsten Dunst and his mum Naomi Foner are both less than delighted about the coupling.
Kirsten and Jake dated for around two years after his sister Maggie Gyllenhaal introduced them in 2002, then had a further year of on-off dating until finally splitting in December 2005.
A friend of Kirsten’s told Star magazine that the Spider-Man star had always hoped she and Jake would reconcile and start a family together when their professional lives calmed down: “[So] hearing that [GyllenSpoon] are close to getting engaged is like a knife to her heart.”
“Seeing photos of him out with her kids is just too much [for Kirsten] to handle. She always thought she and Jake would reunite, but now those dreams have faded.”
Jake and Maggie’s mum Naomi is also far from delighted about the union. A source close to the family told the magazine: “Naomi is concerned Jake’s taking on more than he can handle dating Reese, even playing the role of daddy to 8-year-old Ava and 4-year-old Deacon when he’s with them.”
“[Naomi hoped] Jake would find a younger girl to date, without so much baggage.”

ehhh, Mother-in-laws! they never think anyone is good enuf for their son, and hey, when you have a son like Jake, who’s perfect from head to toe, I’m sure it’s that much easier to fall into that mindset! Reese is good enough.

This is pretty interesting. Kirsten just wanted to put Jake on the shelf until she was finished playing? That was taking quite a chance, wasn’t it? All I’ve read before about Jake’s mom was that she and the rest of his family really like Reese and were happy they were together. Do you think we will ever know the real story?

I don’t buy the part about Jake’s mom. As for Kirsten…woulda, coulda, shoulda. Maybe I’d feel the same way. I like these two as a couple though. I hope they are happy.
