MSNBC is now posting this article and headline about the Jake/ Reese rumors. I'm not going to copy the whole article, but I am including the link here.

I feel bad for Jake.
I kinda have my doubts about some of the things Reese supposedly said. She is written as saying something like - Jake wanted to be together all the time, but with her career and the kids, she couldn't - as if Jake himself didn't have a career that took him away from Reese and the kids.
And it also has her saying something like, she felt she wasn't giving all her energy to her kids with Jake in the picture...well, yeah, when you have an adult relationship as well as kids, you DO have to sacrifice some time in your kids' lives to be with that person.
But I can definitely see Jake wanting to get married. He's young, he wants to start a family, be a family. Why waste the best part of your years with someone when you don't have a future with them?
I feel bad for her kids as well. They've had him in their lives, probably been encouraged to see him as a close friend and now he'll be gone out of their lives.
Sammi:
I think it's for the best. He probably wants to have kids of his own and maybe she did not want to have any more. I do feel bad for her kids since they got to know him.
ifyoucantfixit:
I hope that it really is over. I hope she doesnt just keep jerking him back and forth. He wont have
trouble finding someone else to be with. Besides I think her ego is hard to overcome.
Brown Eyes:
I'll be the first to admit that I certainly don't know a lot about Reese. But, from what I understand she had a pervious bad marriage. Maybe she's learned that marriage isn't for her. Who knows. I'm certainly not going to judge someone because they don't feel like marriage is right for them, or right for them at a particular phase in their life. To me it actually shows a good deal of self-awareness and maturity to not step into a marriage if they feel it isn't right or the right time. [I'm not the biggest fan of the concept of marriage to begin with... so my perspective on this is less than romantic]. Maybe she does eventually want a marriage again, but this just wasn't the one for her... or maybe she's just interested in long-term relationships at this point. Again, who knows?
I'm sure both Reese and Jake both have pretty substantial egos.
Anyway, we probably don't have many reliable details about what actually happened since both Jake and Reese seem to be pretty good at keeping their personal lives reasonably discrete (for celebrities).
Mikaela:
Back in the days of the Brokeback premiere and subsequent awards season I thought Jake and Anne Hathaway looked like the perfect couple. Back then Anne was with her con man SO, and once she got away from him, Jake was involved with Reese. But now I guess they both are unattached (? - I don't follow all the gossip) *and* they've just made a movie together with lots of love scenes....
Interesting possiblities IMO. ;D
