I have no memory of this, but according to Star Magazine, Jake Gyllenhaal and Dakota Johnson dated briefly four years ago, in 2011? I probably didn’t pay attention to the rumors at the time because I – like the rest of America – was still reeling from Jake’s breakup with Taylor Swift at the time. I might not have paid attention to the rumors because I didn’t pay attention to Dakota Johnson at the time. In any case, they might have had a thing back in the day. And now Jake wants to rekindle the cuddlefesting flame.
Four years after Dakota Johnson and Jake Gyllenhaal had a brief, two-month fling after meeting at Sting’s birthday party in NYC, the actor wants another chance. Jake, whose romance with Ruth Wilson recently fizzled out, has been showering Dakota with sweet messages and flowers.
“His crush on her never went away,” dishes a source. But Dakota, who ended her romance with Matthew Hitt over the holidays, has yet to give in to his sweet gestures. Maybe if he drew up a contract?
[From Star Magazine, print edition]
Dakota is 25 years old now and she’s pretty single – her breakup with Matthew Hitt became public last month. Leonardo DiCaprio was allegedly sniffing around Dakota as well, although those reports seem… odd. One thing is for sure: Dakota is a hot property nowadays. It wouldn’t surprise me if all kinds of celebrity dudes are giving her a second look. I think Jake has a better shot than Leo, and I also think Dakota looks more like Jake’s type than Leo’s. Then again, she’s dated outside of the narrow Hollywood A-list before and maybe she’s not really looking for a big high-profile romance. Still… Jake and Dakota would be pretty together (again).
Also: the “contract” joke is, in my opinion, a reference to Fifty Shades of Grey and Christian Grey wanting a sex/relationship contract. As opposed to Jake maybe having contractual beards. But it could go either way!

When Star will stop to write fanfiction? Lol they wrote about di Caprio & Dakota and were dismissed immediately
Not to sound like a Dicaprio apologist but I find it hilarious how Dicaprio is occasionally linked with non models and every one goes like “nah cant be, she is not his type”. Surely the fact that he keeps being linked with other types implies that he is not a strictly modeliser. I think the “type” is at this point being perpetuated by peoples preconceived ideas quite abit.
LOL She’s trying everything to be relevant. Sorry you haven’t personality and star quality. Next
There are 2 good points in 50 Shades of Grey. Dakota Johnson and the work of the director who tried to make a watchable movie with an awful material script
And so? She has zero personality and lacks of star quality. Sorry
I hate to say this, but I totally agree with you, Houdini! I haven’t seen FSOG, because, I couldn’t even make it through the book (biting my lip), it was so terrible! But I have seen Dakota in interviews and just seeing her in photos, NO CHARISMA AT ALL! She is probably a very nice woman, but I don’t see that special “star quality”, Of course, I never thought her mother, Melanie, or especially, her grandmother, Tippie Hendren (terrible actress) had much talent or personality. At least, Don Johnson, had some charm, back in the day, (smarmy charm, but charm, nonetheless)…PLus, I am loving Jake Gyllenhal so much lately…after his performances in Prisoners, Enemy, and Nightcrawler! He is such a talented guy (He should have been nominated for an Oscar for Nightcrawler)…I want to see him with somebody special! Of course, I don’t know Dakota, and she might be a fantastic person, but doesn’t that whole Griffith/Johnson Family have a slew of problems?
She is a decent actress and she’s very pretty. I’ll take her over someone with “star quality” but no talent any day of the week. Hollywood is full of those. She could be a good character actress if she plays her cards right
She’s just shy and awkward, and I find it refreshing in the sea of actors whose personality outshines their acting.
Actually I do too. I’ll take shy and awkward over a celebrity that’s always in your face and completely thirsty for the limelight. The problem with actresses and actors today is all they have is star quality. They are known for being a “star” not their acting. I’ll her take over a Kardashian or Lohan. Dakota seems like a professional. She isn’t the best actress, but she isn’t the worst either. I’ll give her the chance to prove herself.
I appreciate that about her, too. I think I must be one of the only two people who watched her canned Fox sitcom, “Ben and Kate.” I thought she was adorable on the show.
at first I couldn’t stand her. But the more I’ve seen of her, the more I realize that she is just incredibly deadpan. She’s very quick witted and I think she’s more talented than the 50 shades role would immediately let on. Her SNL monologue was hilarious! But that kind of dryness isn’t for everyone. She’s got more charisma than Kristen Stewart, tho, which makes me happy because at first I thought they were going to be similar.
Star magazine LOL
Your comment made me LOL. Star Magazine is ridiculous even if they happen to stumble on the truth occasionally.
Amazing how a hit movie makes these girls (and guys) suddenly more attractive to their peers. I think she can see through it though.
Oh, it’s just Jake. He’d stick it in a butternut squash if it was on the Food Network. He just wouldn’t want to be seen in public with it.
She looks just like her mother.
Don’t see it. To my eye, she’s Don Johnson all the way.
I agree. She is the spitting image of Don Johnson.
I dreamt last night that I was arguing with a coworker that Dakota Johnson looked like Don Johnson with greasy bangs and she was only popular bc of her dad! Media over saturation on her, she’s creeping into my subconscious!
Wait! Jake had a romance with Ruth Wilson? They were working together and he made it clear he really enjoyed working with her but was there more than that?
Yeah, there were a couple of articles hinting at Jake and Ruth being more than co-stars, but every pic that was evidence of the romance were pretty run of the mill, like buds hanging out after work.
When the photos of Ruth and Jake with their arms around each other came out, E! claimed “sources” said the two were cozy and kissing throughout dinner. A fan who was at the same restaurant took sneaky photos. In one photo they were drinking wine, having a regular, normal conversation. In another he’s staring into space while she’s looking at her phone. In another they were both looking at their phones. Funny how the fan could never catch them being cozy and kissing. Haha
Not only that, Jake’s publicist told People the dating rumors were untrue back in January. Ruth stated in two articles they were “like brother and sister” & “No. I am not dating Jake Gyllenhaal”. What exactly fizzled out?
In the world of Star “journalists”, if a woman stands next to a man, was at the same party as said man or share mutual acquaintances with him, they are dating. According to them, every person in Hollywood slept with every other person in Hollywood and as Gyllenhaal and Wilson worked together for some time, it means they must have been engaged and discussed children.
she denied it quite a few times, but then again she’s very very private so she would never talk about it anyway. they do have fantastic chemistry though, I didn’t see their play (I live in London sob) but everyone commented on it, and they did an interview together and you could tell they really like each other. but other than that, who knows.
Pathetic PR fiction.
Jake is gay.
receipts? i’ve yet to see any proof of that. it’s more wishful thinking.
I kind of have to agree. Seems like he likes to keep it on the DL though.
He likes the most-up-to-date beard. But he’d better watch out cos BCoop is also now single. Boy fight! Someone get the jello.
Dakota Looks like she hasn’t slept in a while is like bags under her eyes and those bangs highlighting said bags
i still find her very pretty though, I like that she’s not a generic beauty. Interesting faces work much better on screen.
Love her, Love him! So why not!
I love him, but his taste in women has always been sh*tty, so this might actually be true.
It would definitely raise her profile.
Anyone but that Miss Piggy faced, award stealer, pretentious new comer Ruth Wilson. Uhg, I know, it looks pure hate but I just can’t stand her or her awful show.
new comer? she’s been around for years. only because americans didn’t know her doesn’t mean she’s just started. she’s very well known here in the uk, won several awards as well.
it looks like pure hate bc that’s what it is.
exactly: new comer here in America. That’s the market she’s aiming to and she’s working on. I wrote it: I can’t stand her, but it comes from a rational place:
-I think she didn’t deserved the GG, particularly for that show. She was better in Luther, but not enough either.
-She gave an horrible speech at the GG and was so pretentious and arrogant. “I want to thank MY cast”… WTF?
-I don’t think she’s a good actress and I didn’t liked The Affair.
I understand that there’s a bit of nationalism in your post since you seem to be from the UK like her, but objectively my “hate has nothing to do with that.
Does anyone want to join my Average Human Beings Against Starlets Wearing Panstsuits Association? Seriously, I’d rather they all wore tortoise costumes and Hogwarts robes and those horrid costumes they force kids to wear in kids’ dance recitals than these horrible, horrible pantsuits.
