Jake Gyllenhaal 'heartbroken over split'

Jake Gyllenhaal has reportedly been left broken hearted after Reese Witherspoon allegedly ended their relationship.

The Brokeback Mountain actor, who is believed to have split from Witherspoon earlier this month after two years together, had apparently been hoping that they would get married.

A friend of Gyllenhaal told Us Weekly magazine: "It broke his heart. She felt pressured to wed again but she wasn't ready. She couldn't give Jake enough and she got cold feet. Jake wanted all of her.

"She really worried that they didn't have enough in common. When she was giving all of her energy to Jake, she felt like she wasn't giving her kids enough. He was great with the kids, but she felt like he didn't get the whole scope of what that entailed."

Reese has 10-year-old daughter Ava and 6-year-old son Deacon with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.
