Jake Gyllenhaal Plans "Romantic" Egyptian Getaway With Reese Witherspoon

Posted on 16. Feb, 2009 by CSS in Entertainment, Vacation, engagement

The rumor-mill is working overtime in Britain – the gossip is that Jake Gyllenhaal has decided to propose (or has already proposed) to Reese Witherspoon during an exotic Egyptian getaway.

According to the British travel agency with whom Jake made the arrangements, Jake organized a private jet to take Reese to the pyramids, the Luxor and a private viewing of a newly-discovered mummy. Yikes, maybe it’s not so romantic? A mummy doesn’t really say “marry me”. The Sunday Telegraph has more:

While Reese Witherspoon no doubt enjoyed a Valentine’s gift or two from Jake Gyllenhaal, the Hollywood actress can look forward to an even more romantic treat.

[The] couple, who did not confirm that they were a couple until November, are to be taken on a romantic holiday to Egypt amid rumours that Gyllenhaal may be planning to propose.

“I was asked to organise the trip for Reese Witherspoon and her boyfriend,” said Geoffrey Kent, the founder of Abercrombie & Kent, at the opening of the company’s private travel office at Harrods. “They will go everywhere by private jet and cram as much as possible in. That means Luxor, the Pyramids and possibly a private viewing of the newly discovered Saqqara mummy. They are going to stay in the best hotels and the idea is that it will be quite an experience.”

Gyllenhaal, 28, lived in Notting Hill with Miss Witherspoon, 32, while filming Prince of Persia.

Last week, an interview with Reese came out in Parents magazine, and Reese admitted that her kids think she’s totally embarrassing. I pointed out that not many “embarrassing” moms get to do the dirty with Jake Gyllenhaal. It seems like this Egypt trip might be something more than just romance – think about it, wouldn’t little kids love to see the pyramids? Won’t Deacon love to see a mummy? Perhaps Jake planned a family vacation, not a romantic one.

On a side-note: It must really suck to be that famous that as soon as you book a trip with your travel agent the entire world knows about it!
