Love takes time.
Jake Gyllenhaal came as close as he ever has to publicly acknowledging his hot and heavy romance with Taylor Swift.
Gyllenhaal, 29, was nominated Tuesday for a Golden Globe for his performance in Love and Other Drugs. USA Today coyly asked who his date might be for the affair.

Laughing, the star said, "Dude, I didn't think I was getting nominated." Added the star, who spent at least five weekends together with Swift, 21, plus a Brooklyn Thanksgiving: "It's going to be a long, slow burn for me. I'm not rushing into anything!"
The star admitted he was "asleep" and "didn't wake up" when nominations were announced at 5:30 a.m. L.A. time.

"It was pretty unexpected. I got a call and then I checked my phone and I had 25 e-mails, and it was either disconcerting or exciting. In this case it was exciting," Gyllenhaal said.

How psyched is he? "I'm going to really soak this in. I'll be with my family and I'm excited for the holidays. I'm not going to deny any awesome feelings."
Tell Us What You Think
7This is such a terrible match up. So NOT impressed with Jake. She's a baby!! You can't go from Reese to a baby. Seriously gag me. its a S***** thing and I'm not a even a fan of his anymore. Some things are better left untouched...shes a baby! How does a man go from dating women to dating a baby and people are ok with it? gag me!! I'm 31, date me! Atleast we are on the same or similar level, but to date a child...I'm seriously frustrated with this and I have no idea why. Like either one would read any of our thouhgts or care. They have millions of dollars and are probably getting their asses cleaned by servants while us regular folk are busy working our asses off for nothing.

Well at the rate you guys are going, It will take Jake about 11 months and 3 days to get to 3rd base!!!!!
I think they should be left alone. It is their business anyway. She is old enough now to make her own decisions on who she dates.
Do not like them as a couple at all...... He is wanting to get married and have a family and she needs to enjoy being young while she can. Do not see this one lasting very long.
i agree with you trinity he is taking it slow because she'll dumped him in the heart beat and write a hit song
I think this is just a publicity stunt. Taylor is such a whining child!
