Gyllenhaal Debeards Again

Hey, did you remember that Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were supposedly porking? We didn't. They're kind of like the relationship equivalent of Julia Roberts's belly full o' fetus and a Cinderella song all wrapped in one: we didn't know what we had until it was gone. Reports Us Weekly:

Though sources say the duo, who began dating in March (five months after her split from Ryan Phillippe, 32), had been getting serious in recent weeks ñ he bonded with her two kids and met her mom ñ Us Weekly has learned the couple have cooled.

ìShe has either called it off or is just taking a break,î says a Witherspoon source.

The hitch? If may have been too much, too soon for the actress, 31, still smarting from her divorce.

ìShe cares for Jake, but the timing is crappy,î says the insider. ìShe doesnít have enough emotional space for him right now.î

Sources say the star ñ who has been hunkering down at home because ìsheís worried that when sheís in public, everyoneís talking about her failed marriageî ñ is staying strong for the kids.

Alas, it seems it will be just the three of them for a while longer.

A source says that Gyllenhaal recently told a buddy: ìIím single.î

We're sorry we just can't muster up any enthusiasm for the mingling (or de-mingling, as it were) of groins between two people who are reportedly a joyless fun murderer (her) and a castoff from Matthew McConaughey's boy toy collection (him). Also, it's just like us to lose interest in Jake just moments after we've finally learned how to spell Gyllenhaal. We guess that "Spell Difficult Surnames" class we took at the learning annex was a waste of $49.95 and a Friday afternoon.
