Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swifts romantic London getaway
We haven’t heard news of Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift in a couple of weeks, but they’re still going strong. This week’s US Weekly has a story about their romantic semi-secret rendezvous at a London hotel for three days earlier this month. Right after the Country Music Awards, Taylor headed to London to meet up at a suite in a five star hotel with Jake. Taylor, 20, and Jake, 29, didn’t leave their room for two days, and ordered Chinese food delivered. Those kids.
In the middle of her busy Speak Now press tour, Taylor Swift jetted from Nashville to London on November 11 – and promptly holed up at the Dorchester. Already checked into the five star hotel? Her new beau, Jake Gyllenhaal, who had a suite on the same floor. “Taylor came early to be with Jake,” says a Swift source. “It was a love-in!” The tryst also marks the fourth weekend in a row [Taylor and Gyllenhaal] have spent together… Not that they want anyone to know. Swift’s arrival in London was so stealth even members of her own camp hadn’t heard about the last-minute itinerary change. “It was a secret” says a Swift source. Neither ventured outside the luxe hotel, and on November 12, Swift ordered in Chinese food. “It was enough for two or three people!” says a hotel source. Not even staffers caught a glimpse of them together before Gyllenhaal left for NYC November 13 (Swift flew to Japan the next day). But the romance is definitely heating up. “He’s crushing on her,” says a Gyllenhaal source. And Swift, says an insider, is “excited. She wants it to be official.”

Swift still seems too young to me for Gyllenhaal, but this is romantic! This story reminds me of when I was young and in love and just wanted to shut out the world with whatever new boyfriend meant the world to me at the time. Nothing is quite like new love when you’re young. And this story is cinematic in a way – young singer meets movie star for a weekend getaway at a hotel in London. They almost manage to avoid the press, but they can’t keep their love a secret. I’m sure I’ll feel differently once these two hit their first red carpet together and Taylor pens a bunch of sappy love songs about Jake. If they’re smart they’ll keep it quiet, though, and try to preserve this time as long as they can. It usually doesn’t last for celebrities and commoners alike.
