Witherspoon denies engagement rumours

Reese Witherspoon has dismissed claims that she and Jake Gyllenhaal are engaged.

The actress was rumoured to have agreed to marry Gyllenhaal earlier this month after he popped the question during the couple’s vacation in Rome last October.

However, her spokesperson slammed the reports, saying: "It's absolutely false. There's not one ounce of truth to it."

Witherspoon divorced Cruel Intentions co-star Ryan Phillippe in October after an eight-year marriage.
