Reese and Jake keep pushing their fake relationship. I'm not sure why. It didn't help Rendition. Maybe they just enjoy pretend romance. It's easier than real romance. All those damned bodily fluids...
Reese Witherspoon and boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal are planning to buy a home together in London.
The couple, who have been dating for over a year after meeting on the set of 'Rendition', are reportedly looking at apartments and townhouses in the UK capital's exclusive Mayfair district.
A source told the Chicago Sun Times newspaper: "Reese was extremely concerned about security issues. She seemed to particularly like places where they could enter and exit not directly onto the street. That's not always an easy thing in Central London, especially Mayfair. But we were able to come up with a couple of places both she and Jake seemed to like."
Jake fell in love with London after shooting scenes for his new movie 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time' in the city.
Friends of the couple are confident the relationship will last, saying they are more in love than ever.
One pal revealed: "I am convinced they will eventually marry and I really think it will be for good. I know we're talking about Hollywood stars, but these two have something special."
Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are discovering that absence does not make the heart grow fonder. The couple, who started dating in early 2007, are struggling to maintain their relationship now that Jake is working 19-hour days in Morocco and London on his next potential blockbuster, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
"This is his first epic, and his mind is on his work," a pal of Reese's tells Star. "They talk on the phone and e-mail, but he's not 'there.' Reese is wondering if this is how it's going to be between them every time he's out of the country filming."
The relationship hit such a rough patch that Reese, 32, flew to London for a quick rendezvous with Jake, 27, at The Dorchester hotel in mid-September.
"They really needed to reconnect and remember why they were in a relationship in the first place," says another source. "While there, they even went house hunting for a place because Jake will be using London as his home base until December. Reese doesn't like the formality of a hotel for her and her two kids."
Hopefully, celebrating the holidays together "will get them back on the same page," adds the source.
Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have made plans to wed in late December. “[Jake] told me he had proposed several times but [Reese] kept telling him she wanted to give their relationship more time,” a source said. “When he asked her again a couple of weeks ago, she finally said yes.” So he basically badgered her into it. Interesting that Jake would be the one pressing for marriage while Reese seems reticent. He hasn’t done it before but Reese has…so she knows what the deal is. I’d grab him now if I were her. She’s still got a few years left before he’ll want to trade her in for something younger…wouldn’t want to waste them.
