Jake Gyllenhaal has been quietly dating SI: Swimsuit model Emily DiDonato

Jake Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal is back on the dating scene, ladies. Are you excited? The last we heard of Jake was the revelation that Taylor Swift’s had written one of her revenge songs, “We’re Never Ever Getting Back Together,” all about him because she was so haunted by the memory of their three months full of ice cream and cuddlefesting. Don’t get too excited though because Jake isn’t exactly an available man even though he’s clearly getting his mojo back. According to Us Weekly, Jake is reportedly seeing a 22-year-old Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit model named Emily DiDonato, whom he met at spinning class in NYC. At least they have a common interest, right? Here’s the story:

Emily DiDonato

Did Jake Gyllenhaal meet his soulmate at SoulCyle? The End of Watch actor has been dating NYC-based model Emily DiDonato, Us Weekly can reveal.

A source tells Us that Gyllenhaal, 32, met the 22-year-old stunner in a spin class at a SoulCycle in Manhattan last fall. The actor and DiDonato (who was featured in Sports Illustrated’s 2013 swimsuit issue) have dated for “a month or two,” adds the insider.

It’s no surprise the star found his sweetie at the chic studio, where he works out weekly whenever he’s in NYC. Says a source, “He’ll hop on the instructor bike. He loves the attention from the girls!”

Gyllenhaal had a brief romance with Minka Kelly last summer. But his last serious relationship was with country singer Taylor Swift, 23, from October 2011 until January that same year.

He also dated his Rendition costar Reese Witherspoon from 2007 to 2009, and actress Kirsten Dunst in 2002 for nearly two years.

Emily’s a cute girl with a fantastic body, and you can see her SI: Swimsuit spread here, but she didn’t get to do any body paint shots. Let’s hope that this girl lasts because Jake has a tendency to wallow in broken-hearted misery every time he gets burned. Like when Minka Kelly rejected him, and he had such a hard time getting over Reese Witherspoon. Not to mention the fact that he probably has to hear that Swifty song every time someone turns on the radio. Poor guy.

    She is extraordinarily beautiful.

  2. Ranunculus says:

    He is soooo smarmy, and a mediocre actor as well AND he found himself a new beard.

  3. Emma says:

    Holy shit. I googled her and she is absolutely gorgeous. These photos don’t even do her justice.

  4. Lolly says:

    I saw her in NYC when I visited in fall 2011. She is mind boggling beautiful. Honestly I felt light headed when I saw her & she’s a total sweetheart, really humble. She’s wasted on this dude. Her pictures don’t even do her justice.

  5. Brittney says:

    So I’m assuming SOMEONE got some money from SoulCycle… how do these things work? Do they pay US Weekly, or the “couple”, or both? Obviously his people contributed some quotes to this story too…

    • Beth says:

      good point. The US Weekly piece so prominently mentioned Soul Cycle and that company’s whole PR campaign is celeb endorsements.

      Plus, duh, you don’t need the Toothy Tile saga to know Jake is gay. Just look at his “dating” history.

  6. Nick says:

    Her eyes are amazing

  7. Tessa says:

    She’s not sickeningly thin. She’s got nice tone, and fabulous strong looking legs. She’s stunning. Go Jake.

  8. T.C. says:

    “But his last serious relationship was with country singer Taylor Swift, 23.”
    What? Ice-cream and coffee shop PR dates with US Magazine along for the ride is what we now consider a serious relationship for a man in his 30’s? LOL. Emily DiDonato is gorgeous so if this fake dating story gets her some magazine covers good for her.

  9. jacq says:

    she is my girl crush. these aren’t even good pics of her. she’s absolute perfection. i love how it’s okay for a 32 yr old man to date a 22 yr old woman.. if it were reversed, people would be more concerned about the age gap.

  10. Harpreet says:

    Interesting, she is not a blonde.

    Also, is the the Acqua di Gio model?

  11. Chicoulina says:

    She’s stunning. Her face is amazing. She’s been the face for Maybelline cosmetics for a few years now. Whenever you see stunning bright eyes in a maybelline commercial,that’s her. A few still feature Adrianna Lima.
    Yes I agree these photos don’t do her justice at all.

  12. bohemia says:

    She’s stunning!

  13. Lexi says:

    His face is melting.

  14. danielle says:

    She is gorgeous. The Reese thing was weird with him, and Taylor…after that I started thinking the rumors about him might be true. What I don’t understand is, at this point, he’s not going to be a major movie star, just a good, solid actor. Why not come out of the closet if he is gay?

    • Original A says:

      I always thought he might be bisexual. Anyway, he’s got some Oscar Baity films lined up (one with the people who made Half Nelson, the other with Viola Davis and Hugh Jackman) so maybe he is conveniently starting some rumors beforehand so it isn’t so obvious (Taylor Swift).

      • hannah says:

        He can make as many Oscar baity movies as he wants to , he can’t act his way out of a paper bag and is pretty much a male Kristen Stewart

  15. my .02 says:

    That beard does not suit him.

    *giggle*

  16. HotPockets says:

    Aw, Jake Gyllenhaal is actually one of the few actors in Hollywood I think is gay and definitely pushed into the closet, but that doesn’t negate the fact that maybe he enjoys the company of good looking women, maybe she is his wing woman at the clubs?

    • A says:

      I think he is Bi. Maybe gay-leaning, but definitely Bi.
      He looked really into Kirsten Dunst when they were together and I can’t see her bearding for anybody.

  17. judyjudy says:

    Wow! What a stunner !

  18. Nina says:

    I don’t get why everyone is convinced that JG is gay.

    1. He dated Reese Witherspoon forever, and I doubt that she’d act as anyone’s beard for that long, even with her then-recent split from Ryan. She’s above bearding.

    2. He has a type. He typically dates blue-eyed blondes with long necks (Reese, Dunst, Taylor). If you need a beard, you generally take whatever comes your way. I can’t see him being so calculating if he’s desperate to hide his homosexuality like so many people are convinced he is.

    3. When an actor is closeted, they stay well the hell away from gay roles. If he felt he needed to hide his homosexuality, why would he have done Brokeback Mountain?

    • Tessa says:

      You play a gay role= you’re gay. Haven’t you heard?

    • Mazunte says:

      +100. Really! This is one of the most ridiculous rumors in the celebrity world. There is absolutely nothing suggesting JG is gay.

      He was good at playing an emotionally vulnerable gay man. Is that the reason? Come on! Give me a break!

    • The Original Mia says:

      Totally agree.

      The only one saying he was gay was Ted C and I chalked that up to wishful thinking.

      • andy says:

        All of the rumors surrounding Jake’s sexuality come from Ted. To believe that JG is Toothy, you have to believe that he has a love child hidden somewhere.

    • Joanna says:

      I agree. I don’t see any signs of gayness, myself.

    • Camille (TheOriginal) says:

      I agree with all of the above^. I have NEVER thought he seemed gay either. Nothing suggests it to me. (But if he is, well good for him, it’s none of my biz)

  19. TheOneAndOnlyOnly says:

    To anyone that says all models are pale, wan and interchangeable, and that’s why celebs dominate mag covers, Emily D. refutes that – she been around for a while and has appeared in major campaigns, Look her up on FMD; much rather see her, Doutzen,Kate U., Sessilee Lopez, etc. on covers than completely overexposed Swifty or Beyonce.

  20. Pink Elephant says:

    “At least they have a common interest, right?”

    Absolutely, their common interest is dating/being with men. I’m sure they’ll have a lot to talk about.

  21. Mira says:

    Shouldn’t Leo be dating her? How did he miss her out to Jake?

    • Mr.Smurf says:

      Remember Mira, he likes his models to be blond and basic…..very interchangeable. His last girlfriend, Erin??? to me looked twelve years old in the face. I didn’t really see her as a woman until I saw her dressed up for one of the angels’ shows, even then it looked a little pervy to me.

  22. Jay says:

    Wow. She is exactly my type. Like, EXACTLY.

  23. Snowpea says:

    They look like siblings!

    And yes, I think Jakey is gay.

    • Camille (TheOriginal) says:

      Why? Because of some dumb-ass blind items or the fact that he played a gay character in a movie? Ridiculous.

  24. Jamie says:

    She looks good but really?
    A 22 year old?
    I also figured he would go for someone like Kristen Dunst or Natalie Portman. They are atleeast around his age.
    He hit a very low point dating Tyalor Swfit.
    He has lovely eyes though and
    he doens’t seem gay, I think he’s depressed because he is already 32 years old( Which is still young) but maybe he misses his youth or something?
    Some above wrote he is never gonna be a major movie star, isn’t he one already? He is A list right?
