Jake Gyllenhaal deeply in love with Reese Witherspoon

Washington, Apr 26 : American actor Jake Gyllenhaal is deeply "in love" with girlfriend Reese Witherspoon according to his producer pal Ryan Kavanaugh.

Gyllenhaal became romantically involved with Witherspoon, who is a divorced mother-of-two, after meeting her on the set of their 2007 film 'Rendition'.

His pal Kavanaugh, who worked with the actor on the forthcoming film Brothers, insists the 'Legally Blonde' beauty could be 'the one' for Gyllenhaal.

"I just think he loves her," Contactmusic quoted him as telling People.

"(Jake) has obviously had his fair share of dating. I think eventually you come to a place where you know what you want and seeing what we saw on the set, he was certainly completely devoted to her and really loves her," he said.

On a more personal front, Kavanaugh added that he and Gyllenhaal were good friends.

"He's a true artist and a really good guy. We used to work out every morning before going on the set, so he became a good friend too," he added.

Witherspoon had ended her 8-year-marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe in 2006, and their divorce was finalised on 5 October (07). The couple has two children together, 8-year-old Ava and 4-year-old Deacon.
