Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal HAVE NOT Broken Up

People reported earlier today that Reese and Jake, who have been together since 2007, had decided to call it quits, and the rumor spread quickly to several celebrity gossip sites.

But a rep for Witherspoon has released a comment contradicting the rumor, saying simply: “It’s not true. They have not split.”

At this point, no one knows what the truth is. On the one hand, you’ve got Witherspoon’s rep trying to squash the rumor, but on the other hand, People’s story was based on “a source close to the actress,” and the pair weren’t exactly forthcoming when they started dating, denying their involvement for almost a year.

Either way, I’m all for keeping our noses out of their personal business. You know how mortifying it is just to change your Facebook status from “In a Relationship” to “Single” (with the little broken heart icon) when you break up with someone. Imagine if the thousand tongues of the internet were to start wagging with unfounded rumors of a breakup every time you and your honey have a tiff.
