Reese Witherspoon and Jake GyllenhaalREESE Witherspoon‘s split from her hunky beau Jake Gyllenhaal was “amicable and mutual” — sources close to the former couple have said.

The pair started dating after they costarred in the 2007 movie Rendition.

Reese, 33, has two children — daughter Ava and son Deacon — with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.

“They are no longer together,” the insider said. “The split was amicable and mutual.”

Previous reports have claimed Jake dumped Reese because she didn’t want to marry him.

“As much as everyone thinks they’re right there, they’re really not near the whole marriage thing,” a source said.

“Jake would marry her tomorrow, but Reese doesn’t want to go there yet, even though he would like to.

“There’s a huge attraction between them, and they’ve becomes a team, partners, but Jake can be a little overbearing at times, and Reese is really happy with life right now. Why screw that up or change a good thing?”

    Sorry to hear about the split. Sounds like Jake wanted all of her attention , but when you have kids they come first.

    Nothing seems to be enough for this picky b**** – TicTacDo Just read this and thought about Ms.Witherspoon. It’s obvious that Jake was so in love with her and probably bent over backwards to help her be a good mom. She just seems to uptight – sometimes you just have to go with it – nothing will EVER be perfect, Reese!

    Plus, she ain’t getting any younger… time’s a wasting Reese – don’t throw away the good ones, they won’t be there once you grow up!
