That didn’t take long, did it? People Magazine – PEOPLE MAG – is declaring Gaylord Jwifty/Jaylor/Whatever OVER. Meaning that it’s totally over if People Magazine is confirming that crap. They were together maybe two months, at most, although People’s source (likely Jake’s publicist) claims that the relationship “ended last month”. It was last month, mind you, that we were getting glowing reports about how Jake and Swifty and moved heaven and earth to be together for every occasion. Perhaps their relationship’s coffee sponsorship fell through, and they just decided to chuck the relationship? Perhaps Swifty was tired of Jake shrieking “GROSS!” when she tried to get him to touch her boob. Perhaps Swifty is still hung up on John Mayer’s white supremacist dong. All are solid possibilities.
Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal are starting 2011 single.
“They’re over,” a source tells PEOPLE about the short-lived relationship. “It ended last month.”
No reason was given for a split, and the stars reps didn’t have immediate comment, but the two spent the holidays – and their birthdays – apart.
Swift, 21, rang in 2011 in Nashville, solo, at a party, while Gyllenhaal, 30, was in New York, where he attended a closing party for Broadway’s Fela! on Jan. 2. While in the Big Apple, Gyllenhaal was also spotted dining with his mother at the Spotted Pig.
After spending Thanksgiving weekend together, the two were last seen publicly together on Dec. 9 in Los Angeles.
Gyllenhaal and Swift were first spotted together in October backstage at Saturday Night Live – followed by a brunch in Brooklyn.
[From People]
Yeah… here’s my theory: Jake’s PR team arranged the Swift relationship for him so that he could have a “girlfriend” for the promotion of Love & Other Drugs. I think Jake’s PR team worries about the gay rumors, too, and they thought (wrongly) that if they set him up with America’s Sweetheart, everyone would love it. The problem was that the relationship made Jake look like a skeezy jailbait-lover AT BEST, and at worst, even gayer than before, and in desperate need of a quality beard. Also, Swifty didn’t help matters either because she was also promoting her album (coincidence!), which is full of her completely normal, immature, 21-going-on-12 lyrics, including a song about John Mayer dicking her over. She looks AT BEST like a girl who pretends to be a pretty princess while getting boned by pond scum, and AT WORST… well, same difference.
Oh, and Swifty’s song about this debacle is going to be EPIC. I imagine it will be called “Dear Gaylord Pretty Pony Jag”.
UPDATE: Us Weekly must have gotten the call from Jake’s publicist too, because they just threw up another confirmation of the breakup, which apparently happened “just before New Year‘s Eve.” According to their sources, “Jake reached out to her and started all of this, but now he’s not acting as interested… He said he wasn’t feeling it anymore and was uncomfortable with all the attention they got… He also said he could feel the age difference. Taylor is really upset. We told her not to move so fast with this but she didn’t listen…Jake cares about her, but [the publicity] was a lot for him. He wants to keep his private life private, and that’s hard to do dating Taylor.” Yes, Jake is SO private. That’s why he and his publicist arranged for those “paparazzi” shots of Jake and Swifty wandering around New York together. That’s why his publicist dropped pieces into Us Weekly and People Magazine about Jake and Swifty’s dates. Because Jake is so private. Ugh, I kind of hate him now.

I can just hear the Brokeback Mountain song now……
Yeah Jaylor totally backfired. I think Rumor Willis might be available for Jake’s next premiere though.
oh thank god. i was dying when i heard this. totally killed jake’s hot. now maybe he can resurrect it? all depends who he bones next.
Thank f*ck for that, they were creepy together. Like Stepford wives with a hint of jailbait. Also, as someone who’s her age, she scares me. I don’t know anyone else who’s still thinking the same way they did when they were 13.
moving onto ScarJo now, I betcha….?
Am I the only one who doesn’t think he’s gay? I just don’t think Reece would need to do any bearding when she’s an A-list Oscar winner. And neither would Kirsten Dunst.
Call me crazy, but then I also don’t believe Tom Cruise is on the down-low, mostly because Penelope Cruz doesn’t seem like the type to play along either.
Maybe I’m naive.
RIP Jaylor/Gwifty.
Uggggg gosh these two are so super bland. They were like sugar free vanilla frozen yogurt on top of a fat free pound cake made by a diabetic stoner who ran out of vanilla extract.
Bland! Hidden Sprinkles!
@Reality I didn’t think he was gay until he went out with Swifty the whole thing seems so posed. As for Penelope, her motive for bearding was clear she established herself in Hollywood during the time she was with him ( I know she was already an It girl) I totally believe Tom is gay I don’t think it’s a secret I’ve seen jokes about it on the Jimmy Kimmel show.
Call me crazy, but then I also don’t believe Tom Cruise is on the down-low, mostly because Penelope Cruz doesn’t seem like the type to play along either.
@ Reality:
Will not call you crazy, but it’s naive to think that Penelope Cruz didn’t lie about her relationship with Xenu’s love child. I think what they had was some sort of arrangement: he wanted to get into the European market, she wanted to get into the US’s. And that worked well for both of them.
He needs to come out the closet!
This is no doubt for the best. He really was a little old for her, although not many people seemed to mind. The song should be a good one!
Oh wait I thought they spent her sober birthday together in Nashville?
It says they spent barfdays apart in the little clippie thingie lol.
Sober barfday in Nuh-uhville. So. Exciting. wow.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake’s PR person should be fired for agreeing to that clusterfuck of an unbelievable fauxmance.
I think they ended it because the public reaction was either WTF? or EWWWW!
I don’t think there will be a break-up song this time.
Jake’s PR person will approach ScarJo next.
Oh the games these celebrities feel they have to play. Sigh.
Very curious what Lainey will say.
I was so ready for their Christmas photo-op at Build-A-Bear.
lies never flies
Thank god this showmance is over!
Ugh!!!!! I have always liked Jake Gyllenhaal as an actor. He was great in Donnie Darko, The Good Girl and Brokeback Mountain. I never had an inkling that he was gay until reading the Awful Truth by Ted Casablanca and then other blogs. I could care less if he is gay but I am so bothered by him lying about who he his. Bearding is creepy and disgusting and then to top it off by pairing up with Taylor Swift (who I think sucks).
Jake is a hottie and it doesn’t matter that he is gay and Hollywood sucks for making people believe being gay will kill their career. Adam Lambert is another gay man that I consider sexy. John Travolta – in his young days was so cute – It would not matter to me if he were gay or straight.
Regarding Tom Cruise, I never thought he was sexy. He was too wooden for me and he comes off as asexual – not gay or straight.
@Kaiser
“Jake shrieking “GROSS!” when she tried to get him to touch her boob.”
“coffee sponsorship fell through”
You’re at your very best when you’re absolutely right. There is a giddiness to the write up which was perfect. I love your adrenaline as evidence not only in the flow of the thread but in the lateness of this post. You are worthy of a Pulitzer as well as a crystal ball for your insights. All Hail!!!!!
Just come out jake…honestly, who cares anymore, surely there would be more credibility if he admitted he was gay than this endless stream of ridiculous partnerings!
BTW Love TS hair straight, but girl needs to eat a doughnut, she’s looking really skinny and not in a good way
I agree with your post except for the last part. I don’t think Jake’s a private person but how do you know it was his publicist that kept calling paparazzi? I thought it more likely it was her’s. Yuck either way.
And I thought these two might actually have a chance… snark.
I hope they actually liked each other bc as a PR stunt, it really did not work in either’s favor.
HOW HIGHLY SURPRISING…
I’m surprised they brokeup so soon. I thought they would ride it out through awards season. Did anybody take this relationship seriously? It seemed so fake and creepy. Eventhough Taylor is 21, she has the personality and maturity of a 16 year old.
Wow I expected the contract to be for longer! But I guess both their PR teams gave up because everybody could see through the PR stunt.
Bet she’s thinking…
I wish I could quit you Jake!!
Nooooooooooooooo!!!!
If these 2 can’t make it then I totally give up on True Love!!!
PR fail. Just come on out of the closet already!
I’m way more optimistic about life after this bit of news- Swifty got dumped by yet another PR boyfriend and all is right with the world. Not sure why, but she’s right behind Lohan and the Kardashians on my celebrity shitlist. -wait- you need to wedge Boobs Lively in there somewhere too.
well, that’s a surprise…
I’m glad the PR people were as fed up with this stunt as we all were…
good riddance.
@ Dana – OMG! LMAO!
Travolta isn’t gay nor is Cruise or Jake. You think they are gay because they’ve done what exactly to incite they were gay. You people just make up things in your mind cause you’re to silly minded to find something to entertain yourself with. As far as this goes….he always went for the goodie to shoes …entertainer blonde/blue-eyed types. He probably just dated her cause he was lonely. I think he saw how silly immature she was and said peace. He was probably talking to her before she showed what a child she was with the release of her last album. I thought it was PR too , but from the time frame they dated and the type of girls he’s dated before….he was probably just lonely. He seems like the type to want to be someones savior/hero…so I am not surprised he hung with her for a month. She will write a song, but I think this time it will be less obvious due to the backlash she’s gotten recently.
Shaking my head at this part..
Jake cares about her, but [the publicity] was a lot for him. He wants to keep his private life private, and that’s hard to do dating Taylor.”
************
I guess since I don’t follow that many celebs.. but was there really that much media frenzy around them? It seemed to me like there was not much interest. Sure a mag cover or two maybe a sidebar, but I just don’t think the public was that into them as a couple.
hmmm.. maybe that was the reason for the break up.. LACK of INTEREST on our part.
I’ll be waiting for Taylor’s next song on this.
Heather-I thought the same,Jake and ScarJo would be great being totally boring together. But with Jessica looking messy and unhappy at the airport alone after Aspen,he might want to jump on that.
Coffee breath totally killed this “relationship”
I love Betsy D’s take!! You’re totally right! Even the combined smiling power of Jwifty wasn’t enough to overpower the nastyness of coffee breath!
LOL Yay!!!! Glad Jake came to his senses.
I guess she didn’t put out. Taylor should’ve thrown that coffee in his face.
she does seem really sweet, but i had no idea that she’s 21, i thought she was 19. she seems to be a very young 21. her lyrics are like she resurrected her 6th grade diary… not ok if you’re 21.
I don’t think Jake Gyllenhaal is gay. Don’t these celebrities get followed around by paparazzi all the time? If photographers were following me around, they would catch me holding my husband’s hand or hanging out with friends. Are people so cynical that they want to construe celebrities doing normal stuff as some devious plot? Seriously?
bet she’s thinking..
Jake, why can’t I quit you?
So what do people think will be the next moves for Jake and for Taylor?
For Jake I’m thinking we see lots of family time and work photo ops. No relationship for a while to let the damage from this stunt pass.
For Taylor I’m thinking she lies low on the relationship front until it is suddenly revealed that she’s been dating a non-celeb because she’s so over dating famous people. Her team is still concerned about shifting her to a more adult image so I think they’ll find her a Nashville songwriter who’s not well known (to get her back her down home image) or a foreign businessman (to make her seem more sophisticated).
It’d be really entertaining if their teams leaked competing stories to tabloids to try to control the damage this has done to both their reputations.
Swifty did get some good romance out of the gig. Jakey doesn’t look all pathetic and hung up on Reese in the wake of her engagement news. His publicists at least got him off the hook there. Hope they find true love and happiness in 2011.
Don’t think they broke up because they never really were together. I still don’t think he’s gay (I’ve seen vids of him hitting on a blond) but he’s clearly not above the PR dating game and I firmly believe that neither of them are quite the sweethearts they try so hard to portray.
I don’t think Jake is gay, but this fauxromance didn’t help matters either. I would love to see him with ScarJo, though my dream pairing is him/Rachel McAdams.
I don’t know (or care) if he’s gay or not, but the whole Taylor thing seemed very…staged. It seems like his PR team works overtime to present a certain image, and I wish they’d just quit it – he’s a really good actor, seems like a nice guy, and is doing just fine without all the phoney BS.
As for Penelope Cruz, I always got the impression she was trying to up her profile in Hollywood and dated anyone who could do that. If said person happened to be a wackadoo who needed a public girlfriend…even better.
It will be very interesting to hear Taylor’s view of their relationship in her next new release.
@Dana – haha, too funny!
@Mia – yeah, I thought I was still the only one pining for a Rachel McAdams pairing.
I’m glad it’s over – whatever it was, but my respect for Jake has fallen. I thought he would be above using showmances to promote movies, not unlike Jennifer Aniston. Maybe he liked Swifty at first, but quickly came to his senses and realized the age difference after getting to know her better.
@Lisa – I read Lainey too, but I’ve come to realize she’s wrong about alot of things. She gets good inside info sometimes, but many other times, it’s pure speculation.
@Emily: Thank you! I’m also Taylor Swifts age and I think its odd that all her songs seem to be coming from the mind of as you say “a thirteen year old”
Jeeze, Jake probably got creeped out by the amount of attention they were getting. That and the butterflies and ponies that were always cavorting about.
No! How? It was a love for the ages!!
I guess she has sold as many copies of the new album as she is going to and as his film is no longer in the cinemas, there is no point for this showmance to continue. They got what their PR people wanted – media coverage, magazine covers and attention. If Jake had done a better film, would Swifty might have made it through award season?
Out of the whole thing, I am more sickened by the fact that Maggie wilfully and publicly took part in this charade. I thought she was better than that.
Swifty will have a new guy just before she is about to announce her next tour and Jakey will have a new girl a month before his next film comes out. Rinse. Repeat.
So big deal, they dated from Thanksgiving to almost Christmas!
Why is it that a celebrity can’t date someone for a few weeks without it being a major deal? What ever happened to casual dating?
Obviously the Jake/Taylor thing was going to be a brief encounter. She’s way too young for anything serious. Too bad the girl is so famous now that she can’t look at a guy without it triggering headlines all over the world. This whole celeb thing has gotten out of hand.
I bet Taylor got a better offer from a scientologist. I’m tellin’ ya, she’s the next Katie Holmes.
I don’t think he’s gay either but this reaffirms why so many actors are afraid to tackle gay rolls. People just can’t separate fiction from reality. The relationship with Swift ( refuse to use that stupid nickname) however was creepy just because she is so young and seemingly immature. Cue her writing a song about big, bad jake in 3..2..1.
It’s interesting that they played it as though Jake broke up with Taylor. That puts Taylor in the poor little victim role, which is perfect publicity for her next relationship song. Of course she’ll be asked in interviews if the new song is about Jake, and she’ll probably give some answer which implies but does not directly state that it is. Jake comes out of this looking more manly, as this puts him the heartbreaker role.
I love him more that he wisened up.
I don’t believe he’s gay either. But he and his team have been very stupid about this whole showmance. So clearly for publicity and it backfired big time. I used to think Jake had more common sense than that but apparently common sense ain’t that common.
Lainey is paid by agents of actors to keep them in closet and promote their showmances: this one, the Twilight “pair”, Bradley Cooper etc.
Straight men don’t need arranged relationships, only the gays one. That’s called bearding.
If the media outed all the gays in HW there would be no film and music industry because teens and housewives couldn’t dream about their idols when they shag the same sex.
How about worrying about your own sexuality and stop speculating on others. Ridiculous! People you don’t even know. Maybe he did have a feeble interest in her. Like I said she fits his type. Blonde, boppy, goodie 2 shoes type. Not eccentric, controversial, or wild in any way. I think Kirsten Dunst is cool. I’m indifferent to Reese. She’s seems classy and independent, so that’s good. Loved her in that movie with Matthew Broderick though, pure comedy. He seems to date chicks, just in the entertainment business. I’ve never heard of him with a private citizen. He just got around her and saw how silly she is, then moved on. Maybe he did do it for publicity, which lasted for a month. He’s getting sex from somebody, if he wasn’t he would’ve pushed it to award season. Point is stop calling everybody gay.
Good news!
This cow was too southern for him!
Don’t stress for a weeding song my pooh, a girl will find you. You’re still young!
That last picture of them is hysterical! The way she is holding the coffee cup is so posed and fake! What were these two people thinking? I have lost respect for both of them after this pathetic PR mess.
Who will she beard for next?
@Reality: Reese had reasons to beard for Jake. She needed a hot younger piece after Ryan cheated on her with a younger woman. They have known each other for a really long time so it was odd that they got together like that. They were always just friends I think. I think she dated Toth guy even before she *broke up* with Jake. Lainey has a good write on this saying it was calculated to announce her engagement right after her movie bombed. She’s slipping and needs publicity.
@Cyul: Travolta is GAY GAY GAY. There is no disputing this one imo
I think Jake is bi and that he really did love Kirsten and hasn’t loved any women since. And I do believe he is toothy tile
If the media outed all the gays in HW there would be no film and music industry because teens and housewives couldn’t dream about their idols when they shag the same sex.
@ Ted C.:
That’s a shame. I for one have no problems with my sex symbols’s sexuality (if it’s not a crime, obviously) when I dream about them — and there are some I’m dead sure are gay.
I don’t understand why that’s so difficult for other people…our chances with them in “real life” are non-existent, their sexual orientation shouldn’t matter in our fantasies then.
i laugh when i saw the title. so taylor is jumping to another man again? Shes getting Paris Jr. never vacant.
Jake Gyllenhaal is gay.
He bearded with Witherspoon and Swift.
Swift bearded before.
Two fake and phony publicity who**s.
The media can’t out celebrities especially the high profiled ones because they would loose access to them for interviews and exclusives and in general they would ruin the people that provide them with stories. They keep their audiance happy by giving them what they want to hear, namely that their stars are straight and fit into the image their PR has created for them.
Travolta was out of closet in the 80’s then when met Kelly Preston was forced into it again and being a Scientologist made it impossible to admit he is gay. Also public would have a problem with a gay Travolta in the 90’s when he played those macho types in Pulp Fiction or Face-Off.
Acting in general is a profession that draws people who are either gay or bi. People would be shocked what actors and how many were/are gay that are sex symbols. Guys like Marlon Brando, Steve McQeen, etc.
The guys dont’ want to hear their action heroes are gay, in their minds gays aren’t manly but all effiminate. Terrible stereotypes that unfortunately are very alive.
Ask yourself why there’s no A-list actor, not even a B-list one, that has come out of closet and there are more than enough of them.
I haven’t been this upset since Helen Hunt and Kevin Spacey broke up.
I like gossip (obviously) and I love gay men and wouldn’t care if any of my favorite actors are gay.
I think in effect Jake has been outed even if he isn’t actually gay the belief is so strong that it pervades the internet sites. The real Ted C is pretty despicable and I think he is a paid blogger also even more so than Lainey. In fact he seems willing to completely ignore things he himself has written about celebs in the past if their agents cozy up to him. Blinds have a worse effect than regular gossip because they are believed by some to be the verbatim truth. When many times they are just gossip and hearsay or not about who it’s presumed they are about. I think there are many gay actors of course but that still doesn’t mean every actor that is hinted to be gay is actually gay. Also there are probably actors so good at hiding their buisiness that if we found out we would be shocked.
Great…now we get to hear all about the song she wrote about how de screwed her over.
Like a previous poster said there has been so much gossip about Jake being gay, that even if he comes out and says he is straight there will be people who do not believe him. Look at Oprah, she admitted that she is not gay to Barbara Walters, but some still do not believe it.
Straight or gay Jake is still a hot man!!
hahahhHhhahahahahaahahahahahahhaaahhaahahahahahahhahahahahahhahaha good.
I’m just going to pretend this relationship never happened and go back to watching Jake dance around naked with a santa hat on his peen (Jarhead).
I don’t care if he’s gay or straight, I think he’s hot. Hotter now that he’s not with the child Taylor.
I read somewhere that Kirsten Dunst broke up with Jake when she found him in bed with his boyfriend. Both Jake and Zack Efron have a very strong gay vibe. I would have more respect for Jake if he came out already.
Team Swifty! I think that Jake and his PR team was trying to ride her success coattails and she was a young girl who thought “Why not? Hes hot!” Jakey played swifty for press. At least John Douchey Mayer played her and kept it quiet lol.
She has awful taste in men. Also, I bought “Speak Now” to see what the fuss was about and I really enjoyed it. Sure, the lyrics could have been written by a fourteen year old but where is there a pop star with mature songs? Gaga sings about disco sticks, Beyonce sings about putting a ring on it, I think people are too harsh on taylors music. Its actually pretty good and shes getting better…ANYWAY, Yeah I hate Jake now too. He just tries too hard and needs to go back to indies. He can’t carry a studio movie as the sexy leading man
Also I don’t believe LaineyGossip when she says that Jake is straight. She was promoting that crappy movie Love and Other drugs way too damn much to not have been paid for it.
Lainey does get paid. Look at Gyllenhaal and Kristen Stewart.
@ Ted C. You really think Ted Casablanca doesn’t get paid? He used to write diatribes against Aniston and now they can’t be found on his site and he kisses her butt. He stopped saying that Jensen was gay after his wife let him interview her.
I don’t think he is gay.
I think she is annoying though.
I really do love Jake, and think he is some kind of hot, but there is just something very fishy about him, I just wish he could come out, and be himself, however hollywood would destroy him. One day Jake, One day.
I’m totally with Devilgirl. I don’t think they split because he’s gay, I think it was probably her little girl fairy princess complex.
mln76: I can’t expect someone like you to detect sarcasm behind my username, can I?
I want Taylor to be back with Mr. Lautner, and I excitedly await Taylor’s song written about this breakup. That is all.
lol i bet Tay Tay is a freak in the sheets and she scared pore Jakie away with her crazy, mask wearing sex :b
jk
Lainey and Ted C may or may not get paid in actual $$ but it’s painfully obvious their columns are heavily influenced by whose publicists are planting items with them. Lainey relentlessly brown noses those celebs whose publicists work her over and relentlessly bashes or mocks the ones whose publicists don’t. Ted C is known to back off on those publicists who work him over too.
Like most blinds I think Toothy Tile was a promotional tool for a gossip column, not reliable gossip.
It was really disappointing to see both Jake and Taylor sign on for this charade and I hope it’s truly over. The Us Weekly print edition actually has a quote from a source saying it’s definitely not over but this is a rough patch because Jake’s been pulling back. Meanwhile People notes that they spent New Year’s apart and asks if they split. I think the “break up” confirmation didn’t come until after both mags went to press.
At the end of the day this stunt only reinforced rumors about Jake’s sexuality and solidified Taylor’s reputation as a professional beard. I’m sure their PR teams will work overtime to control that damage.
I think Taylor got jealous because his chemistry Anne Hathaway was palpable. Would love to see them get together.
I have no information but my supposition is that he is bi.
@gabs…I had no idea that Lainey was getting paid for that. But looking back now I can see it. Especially with how she claimed that Love & Other Drugs was soooo good. She didn’t mention anything after it bombed. But she insists he is not gay.
I honestly dont know whether he is or not. I lost total respect for him hooking up with Taylor Swift. She may be 20 yo, but on a maturity level she is about 15. My little cousin is 20 and her maturity level is about 17. If she dated a 30 yo man I would hit the roof. Better than being an over-sexed idiot.
I believe Reese would beard for him because she didn’t want to turn into Jennifer Aniston. Both women had the same thing done to them. Which one loves pity? Reese would die first.
Lainey is a bought and paid for shill, just like Perez. Ignore them.
I think he’s gay and running from it. That makes me very sad. You are what you are. I think the way he goes about things suggests he is not happy with himself. That is also sad. But that’s just my interpretation and I could be totally wrong.
It would be so cool if he were gay.
So obvious. The movie studio had to persuade the world he was worth watching as a romantic lead in his movie with Ann Hathaway.
Ew, ew, ew. He makes my skin crawl. Plus he looks like a moron.
Love the comments and Kaiser’s write up – priceless. This puts paid to the notion that marginally talent juvenile taylor is genuine, authentic, etc. She’s corporate contrived and manufactured like most. DO her fans not know what real live singing without gimmicks and tricks sounds like? WHere’s tina turner when you need her?
@Rita, agreed !! ; -)
@Kaiser, all hail !! ; -)
i used to wonder what they talked about whenever they got together, and it put me straight to sleep 😀
best natural valium, ever
Maybe because he is gay and she is 10!
Okay, I *don’t* think Jake is gay, but I *hope* he is, because I’d take that boy to Canada, marry it and hit hard in all directions. Jake’s my forever dong.
@Raynor: That was my favourite comment EVER.
no making fun of jake hes georgeous and a good actor i think that he and drew barrymoore should date and she should dump on again off again justin long boringggg lol she needs some excitement 🙂
