Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are no longer dating

[CRAZY 'N' NUTS]

Once again, Celebrity Babylon breaks news EXCLUSIVELY that everyone will be following in the days to come: Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are no longer dating! According to a source very close to the Oscar-winning actress, "It was Reese who backed off from the relationship. It was too soon after [Ryan Phillippe], she wanted to move on, but she couldn't. He's younger than her, she has the kids to think about, it was a bit overwhelming."

Their relatively short romance, three months at best, never really took off to become public fodder. There were furtive take-out meals from West Los Angeles restaurants, and sightings of Witherspoon leaving Gyllenhaal's Hollywood Hills home, but they never had that public date the world was waiting for, the date that would mean they were officially giving it a go.

Witherspoon, 31, and Phillippe, 32, called it quits on their 7-year marriage in October of last year, and one month later, she was spotted by Celebrity Babylon on the set of her latest movie Rendition with her co-star Jake Gyllenhaal, 26. At the time, we noticed that Reese (who was wearing a prosthetic pregnancy belly) looked pretty happy for a woman who had just split from the father of her two children (Ava, 7, Deacon, 3). A source on the Rendition set told Celebrity Babylon at the time, "They flirted back and forth, but at that time I think that's all it was." Three months later is when the sightings, both in New York city, and in Los Angeles started surfacing. But now, it's back to the dating drawing board for both of them...

I'm just so shocked.

It's not hard to stop dating when you were NEVER going out in the first place!

There was a siting of Jake and Reese together in a Paris restaurant over the weekend, just after his Cannes appearances.

Nuit au Musée « Becoming Melunaise..kind of

Then the Tuesday following there are pics of Jake on the Eurostar train travelling from Paris to London (where his sister is).

Speculation is Jake did his Cannes gig, then travelled to Paris to meet up with Reese for a few days, then went on to London to visit his sister.

Methinks the two are still together.

Methinks Jakey is a poofter and was sucking some conductor dong

Thanks a lot for making me almost spill my coffee from laughing so hard.

Guess Jake's beard got a little too itchy, so he finally shaved it.

[RandomlyCrazy]

It was a PR stunt from the beginning.

I'd say she freaked out when he asked her to wear a strap-on.

[JelliJules]

Hahahaa. I think that's the most likely scenario.
