Reese Witherspoon just gave a wide-ranging interview that the Daily Mail crafted into a slightly dull article. Though a little piece of interesting information did slip out: Reese doesn’t know if she wants to get married again. In fact, it sounds like it’s not even on the horizon for her right now, as she says she hasn’t had enough time since her divorce to really know that. She also talked a bit about her kids and how she and ex-husband Ryan Phillippe try to give them stability, and how she’d like a blue egg-laying chicken for Christmas. Can’t argue with that.
HOW DO YOU AND RYAN LOOK AFTER THE CHILDREN NOW?
I think the most important thing is the children, making sure they have stability. I think we just bear that in mind and that the most important thing is to be a grownup and not let feelings affect how you deal with your children.WOULD YOU GET MARRIED AGAIN?
I don’t know. I don’t think about it much. At the moment, I am not far enough out of being married to think about doing it again.WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST FEAR?
Anything happening to the children. It’s hard to protect your babies from the media. I have all the worries and fears of being a parent anyway, with the worry and guilt that come with that. But for me, the most difficult part is seeing my children being harassed.WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE FOR CHRISTMAS?
I have a farm and I’d like chickens, an Araucana chicken. That’d be great – it would lay blue eggs.

If I were Jake Gyllenhaal, I’d get Reese a passel of Araucana chickens, asap. Because it doesn’t sound like she wants to marry him. Or maybe Reese is just being sneaky and coy. Gyllenhaal has always seemed the type to want to get married, and he’s very fatherly with Reese’s kids. I think he’d be pretty bummed if she was just using him to kill some time. Which it certainly doesn’t seem like she is doing, so I’m guessing Reese just didn’t want to answer the question but was still trying to be vague and polite.
Jake and Reese were caught Christmas shopping in Brentwood yesterday and looked pretty darn happy. Something tells me that despite what Reese said, they’ll probably be engaged within the next year or so.

Jake is Yummy! I would play around with him for a while. You never know…
Is there really any point to marriage any more? It just creates far more hassle when it ends and in Hollywood that is almost a given. Unless there were some serious bennies involved, I don’t think I’d want to do it again. I really think I’d be more inclined to work at it harder if I were just living with someone in a committed relationship and didn’t bother with legalities.
I don’t get the media’s fascination with hounding celebrities about getting married and having babies…u really want these people to reproduce??? Reese is a class act all the way, and a great actress, whatever she decides it will be right for her. why can’t the media spend more time asking actors about their work instead of their personal lives? and actors need to realize, the more they let their personal lives play out on TV, the faster their careers go down the tubes…
Reese and Jake make a super couple. Both seem to be very mature & sincere. Also, to them, their work is more about the craft itself than the “Hollywood Lifestyle”. I do not understand why she wouldn’t want to marry again (especially Jake), since he already lives w/ her & kids, they make close to equal amounts of money, her kids are already quite attached to Jake & vice versa, so, basically, if they break up, it is like getting a divorce for everyone involved. I’m sure they wld. have pre-nups in place…so what is there to lose? The only thing I could see wld. be having children.
Iam the only one believing he is gay and Reese is his beard cause he has been very sloppy lately and many know it.
I thought I’d read her comment about not getting married again because she hadn’t been divorced long enough somewhere else. It seems really familiar… The Daily Mail probably copied and pasted questions and answers from different interviews.
I luv Reese and Jake and even if they dont marry, I hope they stay together. Sometimes marriage complicates things but I still think Jake is a great catch!
She is saying she doesn’t know if she wants to get married again as a cover for the fact that she doesn’t know if he’ll propose to her. She’d look foolish to say she’s dying to get married and not have him propose.
She probably shouldn’t marry anyone for awhile and just have fun tickling Jakey-Poo or whatever it is that they do.
I think Reese probably feels like she and Jake can have a great, committed relationship without marriage. Once burned, etc.
someone please tell me what I am missing about Jake. Sloppy lately? I never got the impression he is gay. Clue me in.
I say marry for love the first time and live together the second time around. Has Reese read the Non-Fiction book To Prove His Innocence?
What a great part for her if this book should ever become a movie. It’s a cross between The Hurricane and Erin Brockovich
Kate –
I think your one of those people who can’t differentiate between a person and a character.
I know Jake from High School here in LA (Harvard-Westlake), and he is a real sincere guy. I hope she doesn’t break his heart like Hudson did to Owen Wilson. So sad.
