Jake and Reese: We’re in love

Five months after they started dating, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have at last revealed their relationship to the world, in a move that friends say signals the pair’s seriousness about building a life together.

The star couple were twice spotted leaving Jake’s Hollywood Hills home together last week — the first times they’ve allowed themselves to been seen together since they began dating in March.

Wearing matching his and hers sunglasses, Reese and Jake made no attempts to avoid photographers, laughing and smiling as they sped off towards Reese’s Brentwood home.

The couple’s relaxed demeanour was a far cry from the undercover antics of the past few months. The couple had gone to great lengths to avoid being seen together, leaving restaurants in separate cars and even conducting some of their earlier dates in the privacy of their agent’s offices.

“It’s been real cloak and dagger stuff,” says a friend. “Reese wanted to make sure she was serious about Jake before being seen with him. She’s not one to rush into anything — especially relationships.”
