However, earlier this month the couple appeared distant at their new film’s Beverly Hills premiere. Jake, 26, also told chat show host Jonathan Ross that he was single.

Earlier this month, 31-year-old Reese’s divorce from actor Ryan Phillippe was finalised nearly a year after they split. The couple have two children together, eight-year-old daughter Ava and son Deacon, four.



Reese: I’m a dork - Oct 18 2007
Reese Witherspoon may be one of the world’s most highly paid and famous actresses, but she thinks she’s just a "dork" at heart.

"I’m a huge dork and very uncool," she told chat show host Jay Leno on his show.

"The coolest person in the world is Miley Cyrus - Hannah Montana," she added. "I watch it every night."

However, the star revealed she’s keeping her showbiz success "secret" from her eight-year-old daughter Ava, who is a big Hannah Montana fan.

"She has no idea I’m in the same business as Hannah Montana," laughed Reese.

"I’m trying to keep that from her so that I don’t get hounded for concert tickets."

Reese was on the show to promote her latest movie Rendition, in which she plays the wife of a suspected terrorist.

"The film is very cinematic," she said. "There’s romance, there’s action. It’s also a great thriller and it’s very informational - looking at things that we’re reading about in the papers and things that are going on in this country."



Reese excited about new chapter - Oct 15 2007
With her divorce from ex husband Ryan Phillippe finalised, it seems Reese Witherspoon is looking forward to a brand new chapter in her life.

"I’m so excited about my next movie," the actress enthused, speaking to Hollywood Extra at the Tinseltown premiere of her new movie Rendition.

"I’m getting to do comedy again which I’m really excited about and I just feel very blessed and very lucky.

"The next movie I’m doing is called The Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn and it’s coming out in 2008."

In the meantime, Reese is preparing for her son Deacon’s fourth birthday on October 23.

"We are having an appropriate sized party for a four-year-old and a really fun one," she grinned.

"It’s great because he’s my guy and we get to do really fun things like playing with cars and trucks."

Then of course, there’s Halloween.

"I don’t know what the kids will wear but I’ve been planning my costume," smiled Reese, who also has an eight-year-old daughter, Ava. "I always like to wear a good cheap wig."

Reese opens up about Ryan split - Sept 12 2007
Reese Witherspoon has apparently opened up for the first time about her painful split from ex-hubby Ryan Phillippe.

The actress broke up with Crash star Ryan last October.

"Right around Christmas time I was sitting in a parking lot and I felt like I just couldn’t get out of the car," Reese reportedly told Elle magazine.

"It was like, I can’t get out of the car."

But it seems the 31-year-old found strength in the knowledge that others had gone through the pain of divorce and made it through the other side.

"I thought, okay, more than half of the parking lot has dealt with this," said the star, who has two kids with Ryan.
