Reese Witherspoon to Jake Gyllenhaal: Happy Birthday!

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal share a romantic dinner to celebrate Jake’s 28th birthday on Friday (Demceber 19) at Italian restaurant Il Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, Calif.

The couple enjoyed wine, champagne and a special birthday dessert treat.

Jake will next be seen in Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, out in 2010. He’ll play Dastan, a young prince in sixth century Persia who must join forces with Tamina (Gemma Arterton), a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent a villainous nobleman from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACOB BENJAMIN GYLLENHAAL!

They are such a low-key couple. For two big people, they seem so normal and relaxed all the time. Happy Birthday Jake! All the love and happiness in the world to you! :)

Happy birthday Jake!
Let’s hope that showmance contract with Reese expires soon.

Borrriiing couple.

I love this couple @ 12/20/2008 at 11:24 am

Reese is such a sweetheart and what her ex did to her and the kids was so awful. You simply never wreck a marriage with children, do you hear me cornish? Jake is such an upstanding guy and I admire him. Reese is such a classy lady who I admire.

They’re so cute…they look like they’re actually acting in some great love movie…only this is the real deal!!!

The big birthday bash didn’t sound like them, Liz Smith was off as she was on him returning after since he will be here for the holidays.

He wanted an early break to celebrate his birthday and the holidays, Happy belated birthday Jacob BENJIMAN Gyllenhaal!!

She looks so much better with the longer hair. They must be extensions, right?

A very nice couple .Happy birthday Jake

She looks fab. I wish she and Ryan would make amends. Nothing is worse than a broken home. Reese should know all about forgiveness since she goes to church. I wish her and Ryan could find a way to forgive each other for past hurts. Jake is nice but Ryan is the father of her children. Reese and Ryan forever.

Aww They are Very Sweet Together.

don't get it @ 12/20/2008 at 11:46 am

This site is full of RP haters and RW lovers. Always very vocal. But at least when they are loving Reese they are less vitriolic. Anyone find it strange that a photographer could get this close to a celeb couple in a private moment, sitting right in the window? Doesn’t sound a bit pre-arranged? Maybe Reese’s uncombed hair was to make it seem more genuine, but, eww.

Don’t like Reese or Jake at all thought she would know better to rush in relationship with him so fast with him. Her ex did wait until the divorce was final to get in a relationship with his girlfriend. Think that she thinking what what was appealing with her at the time.Jake haven’t grew up and reese shuld let him have someone else ypunger cause she’s never going to marry him no Happy birthday here.

divalicious @ 12/20/2008 at 11:57 am

so boring, reese is the most boring ***** in Hollywood.
and jake is GAY.
Peace and love
LOL

Agree with go sox… :)))
By the way Happy Birthday Jake :)))

more PR lies @ 12/20/2008 at 12:06 pm

I’m so glad that this PR wh0res invited paparazzi to their “romantic” dinner. And made sure that paparazzi can take their “private” pics.

LOL

magic_moments @ 12/20/2008 at 12:19 pm

I like Reese and Jake. Both are adorable people. Wish them all the best.

I’ve never gotten the attraction of Reese Witherspoon - she’s always seemed very, very fake to me. And i have still not forgiven her for stealing that Best Actress winner away from Felicity Huffman who deserved every award possible for her award in Transamerica. I’ve always thought Jake Gyllenhaal is kind of an ******* too - fake and totally in love with himself. But i wish them every happiness in the PR-whoring world. I give them another 6 months, tops.

by the way, Jared - on wikipedia it says Jake’s middle name is Benjamin, not Dylan

Reese looks radiant, she looks happy too. Too bad Ryan wasn’t a happy and supportive husband to her. It’s good they remain friends for the kids’ sake. I knew her and Ryan wouldn’t last, they look like they were meant to be only friends.

Lame ass couple. Her weave looks like hale

maryrowery @ 12/20/2008 at 1:05 pm

he looks very handsome here

showmance @ 12/20/2008 at 1:09 pm

Can’t stand this two phonies and fakers

Reese never heard of a hair brush.

My question is how in the world did the know they were going to this restaurant. And they couldn’t have been taking these pics inside the restaurant so there must have been a window they were taking these pics through. SO why would you take your boyfriend out on his birthday and be seated in front of a window when you KNOW the paps are dogging your every move.

I know if I were dating a celeb I’d want privacy especially on a birthday. So I’d have to say this is for PR.
And where is Jake’s sister? They used to hang out together. Now they don’t spend time for each other’s birthdays? (I know he was working when it was her birthday in Nov but where is she for his birthday now? I think there might be a rift between them cause of this Blonde *****

Gee you would think that Katie’s birthday at the theatre would have pix
like this… since Katie has the cast and the audience sing happy birthday to her at the end of the show..with a huge cake…

People get divorced for several reasons not just because he was mean to her..

I’m not a fan of Reese. She’s so boring. But i like Jake, who was better looking when he was with Kirsten Dunst. Anyway, they look happy, so… why not, hum?

PR W H O R E S @ 12/20/2008 at 3:02 pm

“My question is how in the world did the know they were going to this restaurant.”
Simple. Reese or Jake’s PR called paparazzi to take pictures.
They are doing it all the time.
Jake and Reese made sure to sit facing the window - they wanted good paparazzi pictures.

Looks like Jake had to work on his birthday too. Once he got done with the obligatory birthday in with the beard photo shoot, I hope he got to go home and enjoy his birthday with his family and friends. It’s good that Reese is consistent and always calls her personal pap agency, Flynet, to arrange all of their PR photo ops. But, Reese isn’t aging well, she should seriously consider hiring a full time stylist and make up artist to live with her.

UHh are you peeps blind? @ 12/20/2008 at 3:43 pm

Is that really Reese Witherspoon..because the woman in these pics with Jake, looks haggard…This woman looks about 50 years old in that corner inserted pic…seriously..if it is her, somebody should get sued for releasing these pics..
She makes $15 or 20 million per film and she is with Jake on his birthday looking beat down?

Maggie is a grown woman with her own family, no need to hang out with her brother on his birthday, that’s what girlfriends are for.

Jake and Reese look so happy!

Great couple. Take that Abby Cornhole and Ryan Peepee!!!

whatever the rumours,they’re too cute together!
i don’t believe about the BIG PARTY because they’re very low-key!
reese didn’t steal Academy award in June Carter!

Reese & Jake are my favorite couple.
They seem like they are genuiely in love.
I wouldnt be surprised if they got married.
I wish them all the best.

open your eyes @ 12/20/2008 at 6:44 pm

Jake and Reese were being laughed about on my local radio station the other day. They were saying it was his birthday and he had asked her to marry him four times and she kept saying no because she actually wanted to marry someone who likes girls. These two are a huge JOKE.

They are so low key they went and ate in front of a window with a crowd of paparazzi in front of the place. Jennifer Aniston should take lessons from Reese.

I agree with Pinkydoo…does reeesy have extensions? her hair has been much shorter in other recent events like the children’s defense fund.

Love them! I wish them every happiness. And Jake is HOT.

Is Reese wearing a weave?

In spite of terrible shoes, maybe it´s crisis, Jake is very smart here!

An, OMG, he is absolutely hot!

I love his hair!

i really like them together, they’re adorable.

thanks Jared.

HE is definitely a hottie. Reese seems way happier now

Jake needs a person who can clean his boots!

Yes, I can.

lookwhaticando @ 12/20/2008 at 10:34 pm

I love them as a couple.. I hope they last, they seem very happy

What gift Jake received from Reese ? I think a new pair of shoes was not bad idea.

Fug and Smug I can’t stand these two they are so full of themselves

Here’s the menu at the restaurant. Italian food is his hangup, not hers. But of course since it is HIS birthday, she would go where he wanted. Where are his parents? Maybe they are too poor to go out, but at least he could have invited them to join in for a good meal for a change. LOL

Happy Birthday Jake!!!!!
I love this couple

It does seem a bit odd that these two would go to dinner for Jake’s birthday in front of a window with the paps right there. If they really wanted to keep it private, I’m sure they could have found a safer restaurant to go to off the beaten path where they couldn’t be found by the paps. There are hundreds of restaurants around there, so why this? I smell more PR BS of you ask me. And yes, Reese is not aging well at all. I also think its funny that she decided to wear her fake hair longer for this special occassion with Jake.

They sure look like they are putting on a big PR show for us. Reese looks like she is dressed up and forgot to do something with her hair. It looks stringy.

Jake yllenhaal is a prostitute men. Everybody can buy this men for everything. He is acting in a film whose the Video Game Mafias are paying for he make merchandise of them.

Video Games are very dangerous for children and teenagers. They become to be violents and these Games damage their concentration when they study in school.
Damn Jake Gyllenhaal and this studio prostitute. Go to §he&ll$ !

Fix yo weave girl!

They are the best…Jake and Reese for the win!

Jake needs to come out of the closet already, people will still love him. And probably respect him more.

Dyna, you don’t know anything. I don’t have any respect for your comments when you make claims about another persons sexuality that you don’t even know.

The oldy woman @ 12/21/2008 at 6:04 pm

WHAT A BORING B-DAY!!!! In the kind, we can not make worse! It is crazy, but since he is with her, he does not spend time any more with his family! Especially at this moment when his parents cross a difficult period, he could bring them his supports but HELL NO!!! He’s celebrating his birthday without his family and close friends but only with the old woman!!! (oldy not because she is older than him but because she makes older than Maniston and Madonna gathered :))
He enormously seems to have changed since he is with her, not only physically .he was of those who spent time with his parents and his sister, but it is not any more the case henceforth! It’s sad!!
As long as he’ll be with the old woman, we shall not see him any more with his parents, his sister, his niece nor with his godchild.
That makes me laugh when I read all comments on them (they are cute, that is going to last, they should marry and I cross it !!!)
People are fool and blind; that’s why nowadays the marriages did not last; especially to the celebrities.
Love (TRUE LOVE) makes better and only it can make better, Why this both there are not going to last even if they came to marry?! Because her love doesn’t make him better and it (her love) doesn’t make him a better man. He became egocentric, selfish person and he made of her the epicentre of his universe!!!! PATHETIC :(
Peace :)

The oldy Woman, you sound PATHETIC. Just because there are no pictures how do you know Jake isn’t in contact with his family, friends, etc. Sorry but your opinion of how Jake has “changed” or whatever is based on nothing.

Jake is great in my opinion. Love him.

The “you are pathetic” troll needs to get a life. Going on every site and telling people they are pathetic if they make a negative comment about Reese and Jake is actually the most pathetic thing I’ve seen all year.

bbz needs to get a life @ 12/21/2008 at 10:52 pm

Sorry but going around checking every site and Reese and Jake post to know what people are posting seems way more desperate and pathetic.

This women is a studio prostitute and mediocre actress.
Her last film ( “Four Christmas”)represent the prostitute life of the actors of Hollywood and the kind of family whose these actors come from!
It is because they and their children have so many cerebral syphilis!

This women have tendence to become old earlier. The magazines used computer tricks to transfor her face too.
Only this prostitute men cam sleep and support to see the ugly face of this women and the other old man whose she sleeped didn’t see when they made sex with her!

Hollywood can make all the propaganda for this women but they will not have success with her ungly face outside USA!

to 73. Yes, it happened with Madonna. She ´s 50 years old and ???

Come on, money makes miracles! Lose your ilusions…

there is something so off in these photos. does not look like the body language and chemistry of a couple. what a sad charade. just come out, jake.

Her chin looks as though it was molded with cheese. Lots of cheese

Is that a hair weave on her? tired tired, sorry he has lost all his coolness she is dull and boring!!!

RW & JG Haters, don’t hate them.
why you need judgement on them for ugly or old, bored lame ass. you all so cruel.
A lot of time I’ve met Miss. Witherspoon, she’s amazing down to earth and loving kids to helping and Mr. Gyllenhaal is amazing and mellow, he like to be peace and normal people like anyone.
Many of who’s supporter by Gyllenspoon.
Reese and Jake would like to thank you all for a lot of support and meaning a lot to them. They love you all of fans.

Thank you,
Ms. Reyes
