Have Rachel McAdams & Jake Gyllenhaal quietly started dating?

wenn21321804

The last time I checked, Jake Gyllenhaal had gotten back together with his model girlfriend Alyssa Miller after a short breakup earlier this year. The last time I checked, Rachel McAdams had recovered from her split with Michael Sheen by getting with a man named Patrick Sambrook. But now Rachel and Jake are about to work with each other on Southpaw. And so they’ve been spending some time together, and they were even photographed together a few days ago. So now everyone wants to know if they’re banging.

Before Jake Gyllenhaal and Rachel McAdams hit MSG to watch boxer Miguel Cotto pummel Sergio Martinez, they stayed very close at an HBO Sports party, fueling rumors that they’re dating.

Romance buzz began when the pair stepped out last week for dinner in Pittsburgh, where they’re shooting a boxing movie, “Southpaw,” with Lupita Nyong’o and Forest Whitaker.

On Saturday in New York, spies said Gyllenhaal and McAdams appeared together at Lugo Caffe across from MSG before the bout.

“They arrived together and sat next to each other,” said a spy, adding the actors were “in deep conversation.” They stayed for an hour at the packed party and “looked happy and very friendly.”

Gyllenhaal wore a casual black baseball cap and jeans while McAdams went with a little back dress, and they headed over to the fight together. Other sources have said they are friendly co-stars doing research for their film in which Gyllenhaal plays a pugilist. Also at the fight were Mike Tyson, Tony Danza, 50 Cent, Dave Chappelle and Michael J. Fox.

[From Page Six]

Apparently they’ve also been out to dinner a few times, dinners which are described as “intimate.” So, what do you think? Just two friendly costars developing a friendship? Or something more? I think Rachel tends to have bad luck with men, but I might be projecting a little bit. I always think of her as a nice girl who just wants to settle down, get married and have kids. Maybe she’s not that person and she’s fine with her love life, thankyouverymuch. Or maybe she does want marriage & babies and she’s just dated a series of guys who don’t want that. In any case, I don’t think Jake is The Guy. He’s a fling, at most. And probably not even then.

Also, yes you read that correctly – Lupita Nyong’o has apparently been cast in Southpaw as well. She’s on the IMDB credits and everything. Good for her.

    Anyone know when ‘Nightcrawler’ (the movie he lost 20 lbs for) is supposed to come out? Ted C is already calling this is PR stunt.

    • Rose says:

      I’m calling PR stunt as well. At the moment, there are a few “relationships” that I am not believing.

    • Liv says:

      I don’t even think it’s a PR stunt, at least not until now. I think they like each other and met for dinner because they are both working on the same set now. Also their visit at the box fight was with the crew of the film because the film is apparently about boxing. Unfortunately, because they would make a cute couple.

    • Ellie says:

      Ted C is back?! Where? That’s exciting.

    • eliza says:

      Ted C has been an evil gossip spreader for years which got him canned from his previous job. I take anything he says with a grain of salt.

      (Not meaning to attack your post. Not my intention. I just do not like that man.)

      • Abbott says:

        Eliza, it’s all good. Ted C can be polarizing 🙂 He rarely comments on celebs anymore since *allegedly* getting in trouble, so I figured I’d point it out.

  2. PunkyMomma says:

    Um, no. Not dating. Maybe some pre-production discussions. But, no to the dating.

  3. genevieve says:

    Based on that first picture, the more pressing question for me is, “Has Rachel McAdams had a nose job??”

    • don't kill me i'm french says:

      Yes! ( but her nose job is as good as JLaw’s one or Amy Adams’s one)

      • Kate says:

        Amy Adams doesn’t have any plastic surgery so not sure what you are talking about with that one. Not sure on JLaw.

      • don't kill me i'm french says:

        @Kate
        Amy Adams had a tiny nose job ,her nose is became more subtle.See her nose in Cruel Intentions 2 and now
        For Lawrence,it’s easy http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/81295712.html?page=2

      • SpookySpooks says:

        Now you made me look up old JLaw photos and her nose does look thinner.
        Amy’s looks the same.

      • Deedee says:

        That link about JLaw’s supposed nose job is one big eyeroll. Take a bunch of pictures of someone in different light, different angles, with/without makeup and about ten years apart, and yeah, you can TOTALLY see it! LOL

    • pru says:

      I barely recognized her in that picture.

      • Kristen says:

        I didn’t recognize her either, even after staring at it. She looks more like Ashley Greene here.

    • TG says:

      Yes, please telle that is just an awkward photo and not a nose job. Rachel is so beautiful I would hate for her to ruin it with plastic surgery. She doesn’t look good with that nose. I going with a bad photo until further proof. I just can’t imagine she would be that stupid. She doesn’t seem like the desperate vapid type.

      • Mzizkrizten says:

        So rhinoplasty is desperate and vapid?

      • Liv says:

        I hope that it’s not true, too. And why would she do that after years in show business? Wouldn’t make sense.

      • sienna says:

        Yes it may be, when there is nothing wrong. That’s why a good plastic surgeon is also a little bit of a shrink and they take the time to really talk to you about why you are doing your procedure … especially when there is nothing to fix.

      • TG says:

        @Mzizkrizten – I was more referring to the general obsession and focus on one’s looks. This would be coming out of nowhere if Rachel got a nose job considering she has been in the business for years and I am not aware of anyone ever commenting on her looks as a problem so yes, this would seem like a desperate move by someone who doesn’t need a change. I think Rachel is a lovely woman and always has, but that first pic looks strange IMO. I hope she has not done anything to change her face. I love how people take offense on here because of their own thoughts about themselves. People say things all the time on here that aren’t flattering to me but I never take offense. My breasts are wonky but I never once take it personal when someone comments on a celebrities breasts. Chill down. Maybe you had a nose job and that is your business I don’t care. I am discussing Rachel.

    • Kyle says:

      That is a really unflattering photo. I’m not sure about the nose job, but she definitely has no upper lip in that photo.

    • Lamb says:

      I think the new Godwin’s law should be that on a celebrity gossip site, it is only a matter of time before someone suggests either A.) A celebrity (primarily female) has had plastic surgery or B.) A celebrity is gay. In this thread, we already have both. I do not think Rachel had a nose job. I think it’s an awkward smile and the flash made the shadows of her nose disappear so it looks different. I’ve also never understood the claim that Jake Gyllenhaal is gay. Other than “Brokeback Mountain”, which was a movie, what makes people think he’s gay? Is it all his relationships with women?? Or is it just that a man gets to a certain age and if he’s not married, he is gay – à la George Clooney?

      • Chris says:

        No, I think it’s the long, sordid tale of “Toothy Tile” and how Ted C has a very long list of who it’s not, and Jake has still not been ruled out even though he is the most popular guess. One can argue that Ted C did his very best to “out” him.

      • Artemis says:

        Funny how people actually believe that 1 blind but that would imply they believe Jake is hiding a child somewhere too. Seeing how he loves kids and dotes on his niece and nephew (and he’s the godfather of Mathilda Ledger!), I highly doubt that he would hide his ‘gay’ life to that extent. Dude is straight, maybe bi but that blind is bullsh- either way.

      • eliza says:

        It’s Ted Casablancas only claim to fame as far as insinuating strongly Gyllenhaal is gay.

        I so agree with everything you said in your post. There are very few celebs who escape being accused of surgeries, or being gay (not that it’s a bad thing). Those are the well liked ones. Everyone else gets these blinds written about them and people eat it up as gospel.

        I probably have been guilty a time or two myself but when it comes to a few blinds from people like Casablancas I roll my eyes. He thinks he is so in the know but doesn’t have that great of a track record, in my opinion, with being accurate.

    • Esmom says:

      I know I thought it was Ashley Greene at first.

    • YuYa says:

      Or she got botox which raises your eyebrows a bit. If you compare older pics of her to this, her eyebrows are set higher and it gives her a completely different look. Her face also looks far less expressive. So, I am throwing my hat in for botox, and a bit too much of it.
      http://bit.ly/1ioCUde

      • Tiffany :) says:

        I could see a bit of botox, but I don’t think she had a nose job. I looked at before/after pictures and they look like the same nose.

    • TheCountess says:

      That was my question too. I didn’t even recognize her 🙁

  4. don't kill me i'm french says:

    Again a RP stunt to sell a movie!
    Rachel,to be beard ,it’s not a future for a career!

    I know a canadian gossiper whoo must be so happy!

    • TG says:

      Are you referring to Lainey? If so you are correct. What I don’t understand is hasn’t Lainey and the writers on this site and every other site hinted that Jake is gay yet they all want to gossip genie him with some female and right now it is the adorable Rachel. Jake is ugly to me anyway so I hope she stays fat away from that gross bearded creature.

      • OhDear says:

        I’ve always thought that Lainey’s always held that JG’s *not* gay.

        Though I do think this is PR to generate publicity for the movie.

    • Chris says:

      Lainey may be the one gossip blogger who thinks Jake is straight. She did hint that he may need his sis to protect him from something. Drugs? Taylor Swift? I dunno….

  5. Jayna says:

    I loved his performance in Prisoners.

    That photo doesn’t even look like Rachel McAdams.

    • eliza says:

      That was a very good movie, I thought and you are right, he was very good in it and so was Jackman.

    • Coco says:

      One of the best thrillers I’ve seen in years! so tense!. Both Jake a Hugh were awesome!

  6. Amy123 says:

    They’re not dating. Most sites leave out that they were with other people on most of these “dates”.

  7. Guest says:

    Rachel has a boyfriend. They both live in Toronto.

    • Sarah says:

      its not like that ever stopped anyone in hollywood from doing the dirty with their co stars. it seems in this case they werent alone though.

  8. Original Tessa says:

    I think they’re just friends. But, Rachel does have a way of falling for her costars, so we’ll see.

  9. TheOriginalKitten says:

    I think they’d be cute together…

    • I Choose Me says:

      Me too. But I seriously doubt they’re dating. My understanding is that most of their ‘dates’ included other people.

    • Tiffany :) says:

      Me too! I think they are both adorable in the same kind of way. As I Choose noted, this is probably nothing, but it is fun to have some hope that they will hook up!

  10. lucy2 says:

    She does look a little different. My guess is they’re co-workers and friends. They both seem like nice people.

  11. Nicolette says:

    What the hell happened to him? Is the caveman look trending now?

  12. R says:

    I’m pretty sure it’s not even a PR thing. Rachel always hangs out with her costars before and during filming.

  13. Altariel says:

    Other than City Slickers, when he was just a kid, I’ve thought Jake is just scary-looking. I don’t understand the attraction to his looks, but I’ve also heard he’s very sweet and nice. I don’t say he’s gay, bc I haven’t seen any evidence or rumors. But what’s with all the high profile girlfriends he’s had over the years? They flock to him, but they don’t last. Something is just off there.

    • Kim says:

      Why wouldn’t he have high profile girlfriends? All of Kate Hudson’s boyfriends have been high profile .
      What’s the difference some of her relationships have lasted months.He has stated many times he is not gay and I believe him.

      • Altariel says:

        Kate Hudson? How’d she get into this? Has he dated her?

        So many of these celebs (not all) are either hiding something, crafting an image, or they really really can’t deal when problems arise in relationships so they jump ship (again, not all). Like entitled brats. Ala Kate Hudson.

      • Xas says:

        Actually Kate Hudson is object of critics and laughs for her personal life. Even some of them called her as the “ultimate groupie” in the rock world or how being a “groupie” is her recent career choice.

        About Jake, maybe he’s gay, maybe not, but I don’t put his perrogative as the ultimate proof. This is Hollywood, every actor -Even the B-list- has interests in their careers and after the recent boom at international box office in homophobic markets like Russia or the Arabic Gulf countries it will keep a lot of closet denials from high profile actors.

  14. bella says:

    that alyssa miller, who i have never heard of, looks like a hotter version of anne hathaway, doesn’t she?

    • Artemis says:

      Just like every other bland brunette with a goofy personality tbh.

      • bella says:

        the 2nd half to my comment above didn’t post!

        i added:

        ummmmmmmmmm…scrath that.
        i googled alyssa, and her pics without sunglasses look NOTHING like anne.

    • ella says:

      Either that, or Clooney’s girlfriend.

  15. Miss M says:

    Noooooooooooooooooooooooo. Rachel, you don’t need to beard (allegedly) .

    • cali says:

      This.
      I wish these actors’ teams would stop trying to keep these poor guys in the closet. If they’re hot and good actors, we’re still going to swoon and still going to see their movies. And respect them a LOT more for being honest and not parading around with hired girlfriends.

  16. Sunny says:

    I think they are co-stars who are becoming friends- as has been mentioned several times here already. They are in pre-production for a film and a few of those sighting have been them in larger groups.

    I think they would be lovely together but she is not his type. And I do not mean that because many believe he is gay. I have always thought that Jake is actually bi-sexual. I just don’t think Rachel is his type- he likes bitches. Both Reese and Kirsten Dunst are reportedly huge bitches and Rachel is very lovely and down to earth.(She lived in my neighbourhood in toronto for years and myself and almost all of my friends who lived in that hood have stories about running into her- she is lovely and low key). Not Jake’s type AT ALL.

  17. Coco says:

    Rachel will play Jake’s wife in the movie. Anthony Fuqua, the director, was there with them. The movie is about boxing. They were at a boxing match… I mean, I would actually love to see them together, they make a cute couple, but it looks like they are meeting for work and there is nothing romantic there, sadly.

  18. kim says:

    what is going on with her face? she used to be gorgeous. what is wrong with Hollywood ?

  19. M says:

    They are spending time because of Southpaw. She play his wife in the film.
    Tabloids did the same when Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling were spending time together for Blue Valentine.

  20. serena says:

    He looks gross with facial hair.

  21. may234 says:

    I thought he was gay?
    (and I’m not confusing him with one of the characters he played)

  22. jane16 says:

    She’s a big star, bigger than he is. Why would she have to do the bearding thing? Not buying this.

    • Jayna says:

      It’s tiresome. Of course, she wouldn’t be a beard. Just like Clooney’s women are called contract women and their contracts are up. Why would he have the need? If he did, he could find one to stay with him a long time as a beard not have yearly or two-year contracts . Yawn.

  23. hownowbrowncow says:

    Regarding the nose job – it absolutely looks like she’s had one. The bridge is way smaller and her nostrils are more visible now, it’s like they took off some of the tip. Compare to her earlier pics. This is so sad, her nose was perf before: http://www.popsugar.com/photo-gallery/20444164/Rachel-smiled-next-Zac-Efron-party-April-2009

  24. moon says:

    probably friends. it’s a shame celebs can’t have friends of the other sex without people jumping to conclusions
