"In the last month, they've been spending a lot more time together," a source close to Gyllenhaal told People, "Jake really likes her and isn't at all concerned that she has two kids."

"Reese is ready for someone she can trust," a close friend of Witherspoon told Us. "Jake is an actor, is stable, has a successful career and wouldn't want her money, so she can trust him."

A friend of Gyllenhaal's tells the magazine that the couple is taking it slow adding "they are seeing each other and seeing where it goes. This is for real."

Witherspoon filed for divorce from Ryan Phillippe in November after seven years of marriage. Gyllenhaal dated Kirsten Dunst for two years until 2004.

Both Dunst and Phillippe have been known to enjoy nightlife, but Gyllenhaal and Witherspoon are said to prefer more tranquil pursuits like running, cooking, and a quiet evening at home.

Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal co-star in the upcoming drama "Rendition."
