But seriously - we all know Jake is a good guy and prefers the quiet life - thats likely why he chose Reece. I think he'll make a fabby stepdad to Reece's 2 adorable kids - perhaps they'll be making babies shortly too. Look at Brad and Angiolina.
And as someone pointed out - yes rightly so Reece should be concerned for her 2 kids first and foremost - but its not like they are in a position where its going to be difficult to go out on dates - they can afford for child monders - and since they are in the public eye they probably like dates at home - which fits in to the couple with kids lifestyle.
Plus the kids have a dad already - one that is very committed and involved in his kids life - its not like she is going to be laden with all the burden of child rearing
Good luck to them both - I thinik they are both a catch for each other. And if it is a re-bound well let it be fun while it lasts!

Me three.

Thank you (and Laura for her coment).

Oh, for God's sake, Clarissa. If you're seriously seeing misogyny, "a hatred of women," in my dislike of Reece Witherspoon--and of the idea of Reece Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal as a couple--then I'm accusing you of misanthropy for your response to my opinion.
"Racism" in the use of the term "whitebread"? Get off the PC high horse and read SKJ's comment.

Granted Jake's situation is not mine--or yours--but you would look at other people's children differently if you were a middle-aged gay male in a country where so many wrongly equate homosexuality with pedophilia. In short, kids are dangerous.

I don't want to answer for Clarissa, she can do that better than I can. But since I've agreed with her, here's my answer:
I don't see any misogyny in your dislike of Reese Witherspoon, not at all.
But I see misogyny in the snide tone in which it is spoken of her because she's been in another relationship before ("leftovers", which wasn't by you) and in your wording of "he doesn't need to take a woman with children" and "I don't think he needs to take on someone else's kids". What are women with children? Lesser people? Only second choice?
I know that's not your opinion, but your wording was simply insensitive, as Leslie already said.

I excluded the whitebread comment in my first post because I'm simply not familiar enough with the term to have an opinion about it's use here.

Well, this sounds very different from what you've said earlier (in the post where you agreed with Della).
And to be honest, I'm a bit taken aback by your last comment. Do you really have this in the back of your mind when dealing with other people's children? This must be awful. :-\
Mikaela:
I thought they'd been baptized Gyllenspoon a long time ago by the gossip blogs. Yes, I do read a couple of those, embarrassingly enough. :-\
But since everyone is in such a good mood already :-X - I thought I'd put my foot in too and weigh in on Jake's attire. I am not impressed with our man Jake for his "romantic Rome outing attire" if that's what they're doing. That grey bulgy unflattering T-shirt thingie, and chewing so throughly and distractedly on a toothpick... The fangirl in me kind of imagined that's not the casual wear the classy Jake G. would dress in for those early days of romance and first dates. So either they've actually been an item for quite some time just like the rumours say, or there's no big romance thing going on at all, no matter what the gossipers are on about and no matter an outing in Rome when they're both there to promote their film. (I know there's another pic of them holding hands in an airport, but that could have been photoshopped easily enough.... just like those Heath&Jake pics that got a new airing over in the Jake-Jake-jake thread.)
For this I'm actually leaning towards Dottie's opinion - I don't really believe it till they confirm it themselves.
