Reese Witherspoon finally opens up about the love of her life, Jake Gyllenhaal, in the November 2009 issue of InStyle. Here are highlights from the 33-year-old actress:
On moving on from her divorce with Ryan Phillippe: “You have to keep it together for your kids and for yourself too. I’m trying to learn from the things that have happened in my life, live more in the moment, and have more fun… Going to more concerts. Jake and I went to Coachella this year.”
On cooking with her man: “Jake is a great cook—he does a lot. We spend the weekends outside L.A, in Ojai, where I have a farmhouse. We have chickens and we grow cucumbers and tomatoes. I love it. It reminds me of where I grew up in Tennessee.”
On struggling to raise her two kids, Ava and Deacon: “Sometimes it’s really difficult for me, being far away from home. I never imagined that my children wouldn’t grow up next door to my brother’s children. Or my mom and dad wouldn’t constantly be around. At least I have a lot of southern friends in L.A.—I gravitate toward them.”
