Jake and Jen: The rumours that won’t go away

Australia’s glamour couple are again forced to defend their unusual relationship…

Model and TV star Jennifer Hawkins has refuted claims that her relationship with long-time love Jake Wall is over, after he was reportedly spotted in a clinch with a young socialite.

The couple have been dogged by break-up rumours — which they have constantly denied — since shortly after Jen was crowned Miss Universe in 2004.

But this latest report — that Jake, 25, locked lips with 19-year-old socialite Ali Longworthy late one night at Sydney nightspot Trademark and was also seen with her at Ivy — was “the worst yet”, according to an insider.

“They don’t really pay too much attention to what is said about them, because there is always one rumour or another,” says a source close to the couple. “But this time they felt they had to make a point because it was just so off the mark.

“They were worried because it’s hurtful to accuse someone of cheating, and Jake isn’t that sort of guy. They were also concerned because neither of them had even met this girl, and she contacted them later and was very upset about being accused of breaking up a relationship.”
