After much speculation, Reese Witherspoon strolled arm in arm and kissed Jake Gyllenhaal's shoulder in public.
Reese Witherspoon and
Jake Gyllenhaal have gone public with their relationship after enjoying a romantic weekend in Rome. The Oscar-winning beauty and the '
Brokeback Mountain' actor - who have repeatedly denied romance rumors - walked hand-in-hand around the city and onlookers say they seem besotted with each other.
One passer-by said: "They couldn't keep their hands off each other. At one point, Reese nestled her head into Jake's shoulder and he tenderly kissed the top of it."
Reese - whose divorce from
Ryan Phillippe was made official earlier this month - first met Jake on the set of their film '
Rendition'. The pair were said to have grown close as he comforted her over her split from Ryan, father of her two children, Ava, eight, and three-year-old Deacon.
On set sources claimed the Hollywood stars were virtually inseparable, and spent almost all their time between takes together. However, it was reported the 31-year-old actress soon ended the relationship because she wanted to spend more time with her kids. Last month, Reese and Jake - who previously dated
Kirsten Dunst - were seen chatting intimately at a party.
