Adding further weight to the rumour that their relationship is over, Jake Gyllenhaal showed up to his sister’s Los Angeles movie premiere without his girlfriend of two years, Reese Witherspoon.
Jake (28) stuck close by his big sister Maggie at the screening of ‘Crazy Heart’, even fighting back tears during the movie’s heartfelt finale. A fellow audience member reports, “He seemed very normal and relaxed, and very happy for his sister. Tonight was all about her.”
In the film, Maggie plays a single mother and journalist who struggles through an off-and-on relationship with an alcoholic singer played by Jeff Bridges. Jeff’s exceptional performance has already been tipped for an oscar nomination.
While Reese didn’t attend in person, the award-winning actress still supported the film by attending a special screening of the movie at her talent agency the day before with Colin Farrell, orlando Bloom and Ed Harris.
“Reese is close to Maggie,” says an insider. “She was beaming.”
