Jake Gyllenhaal dumps Taylor Swift

Their short-lived romance has come to an end – the highly publicized relationship of actor Jake Gyllenhaal, 29, and country singer Taylor Swift, 21, is over to become another heart-breaking story in one of Taylor’s new songs.

According to People, Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal split in mid December after a bit more than a month together.

Jake broke up with Taylor because he was not happy with all the attention their romance got and wanted to keep his private matters private. Gyllenhaal was the one to initiate the romance and the one to end it with Swift feeling “really upset” about it.

Jake reached out to her and started all of this, but now he’s not acting as interested,” an insider told US Magazine. “He said he wasn’t feeling it anymore and was uncomfortable with all the attention they got. He also said he could feel the age difference. Taylor is really upset. We told her not to move so fast with this but she didn’t listen. Jake cares about her, but [the publicity] was a lot for him. He wants to keep his private life private, and that’s hard to do dating Taylor.”

Jake and Taylor started dating in October last year enjoying several low-key coffee dates in New York and Nashville. Jake even took Taylor to meet this family on Thanksgiving. However, their romance didn’t last long and the former couple spent Christmas and New Year separately.

Sources say Gyllenhaal didn’t even attend Swift’s 21st birthday on December 13th so probably the break up had taken place sometime in the second week of December as the then-happy couple were last seen together on December 9th in LA.

Just curious what Taylor Swift will write about Jake in her new song. Tay is famous for penning songs about all her celebrity exes, including Joe Jonas (‘Forever And Always’), Taylor Lautner (‘Back In December’) and allegedly John Mayer (‘Dear John’).

PS. Late last year Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal were even named one of the hottest celebrity couples 2010 by MTV.
