Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon Split
It’s another tale of catch and release. We see it all the time: a relationship gets to a point where the next step is marriage… and if one party isn’t ready, the relationship is doomed. Reese Witherspoon and beau Jake Gyllenhaal seem to have reached these crossroads, and unfortunately, the choice for them was to end their two-year relationship.
After being married to actor Ryan Phillipe for seven years, and then divorcing citing “irreconcilable differences,” it seems possible that Reese just wasn’t ready to commit again. While Jake and Reese always seemed to have a very healthy relationship, both intimately and with Reese’s children, Ava and Deacon, reports say that Jake wanted more, specifically, a marriage.
Although it is sad to see a healthy, blossoming relationship get cut short, it seems as though the concept of “marriage” is frequently at fault for such break-ups. Why is marriage so necessary? Our society places an unreasonable amount of pressure on couples to wed and have children, but perhaps there is more to love then a legal document!
