Reese Witherspoon is renowned for being one of the most modest actresses in Hollywood with her refusal to go naked on screen.

So it was somewhat of a surprise to see the usually covered-up actress stripping down to a bikini at a music festival over the weekend.

The Oscar winner and boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal were just two of the dozens of celebrities who attended the three-day Coachella Festival in Indio, California.

During the festival, the couple checked out sets by Paul McCartney, Morrissey and Jenny Lewis, among others.

Blending in to the rest of the audience, Reese dressed down in a denim dress, fedora hat and flip-flops while Jake opted for a hoodie and jeans.

As the weather got warmer over the weekend, Reese decided to catch some rays in her white and yellow stripy bikini.

The actress sipped on a Pina Colada cocktail as she chatted to Jake on a sun lounger at their hotel.

The actress is known for her preference of covering up and has vowed to do so in all her movies.

She said last year: ‘If actresses take their clothes off, they objectify themselves. I am flabbergasted by how many legitimate actresses do it.’

A few hours after her sunbathing session, Reese found herself getting cold after sunset as she cuddled up to Jake as they watched Jenny Lewis’s set.

Reese, 33, took time out of training for her new movie to enjoy a fun weekend away with Jake, 28.

Jake Gyllenhaal will no doubt be celebrating his first “unofficial” Father’s Day when he rings in the holiday this year with girlfriend Reese Witherspoon and her kids Ava,8, and 4-year-old Deacon.

In fact, sources say the couple has grown so close that Jake practically considers Reese’s kids his own — and now friends of the actor say he’s pushing to tie the knot with his Legally Blonde love so that the two can start a family of their own!

“He knows he might be jumping the gun thinking of kids, but he knows that Reese is the one,” a pal of Jake tells OK!. “He laughs and says he needs to propose and do this the right way. It really is first comes love, then comes marriage — cheesy as that sounds, it’s the way he thinks!”

As much as she loves Jake and enjoys him being with her kids, Reese,32, knows how hard it is to be a parent. Although the Brokeback Mountain star is an uncle to his sister Maggie Gyllenhaal and her fiancé Peter Sarsgaard’s 20-month-old daughter, Ramona, Reese wants to make sure he’s ready.

Meanwhile, the couple has been increasingly more comfortable taking their relationship public — cuddling outside L.A.’s Katsuya on May 24 and grabbing coffee a day later at Caffe Luxxe in Santa Monica.

“Reese has admitted that Jake has grown from when they first met into this very dependable dad type,” a pal says, adding, “He’s ready to have his whole life change.”

Jake and Reese’s family getaway in Cabo

Jake Gyllenhaal, Reese Witherspoon Comments Off

Apr 032008

Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon continue to be one of Hollywood’s cutest and most low-key couples. The pair, along with Witherspoon’s kids, Ava and Deacon, went on a little spring break of their own in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, according to Us Weekly.

They trip got off to a bumpy start. Gyllenhaal is on crutches and Witherspoon had an allergic reaction to strawberries on the flight to Mexico, but once they arrived at their rented home on the El Dorado Golf and Beach Club, Us reports that gang settled in well.

The magazine’s eyewitness said that “the kids loved the pool. It was hard to tear them away from the water.” And although the group had a private chef, “Reese and Jake both did a lot of cooking.”

There doesn’t appear to be much awkwardness when Gyllenhaal is with the kids, either. “The kids have fun with him — he makes them laugh,” reports the mag.

That isn’t to say Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal didn’t have alone time — that’s where the nanny came in. At night, “they had a fire pit, and they sat around and talked after the kids went to bed,” Us reports. “Having the nanny also let them have time together undisturbed.”

Jake Is Taking Heath’s Death ‘Harder Than Most’

Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal Comments Off

Jan 302008

Heather Ledger’s sudden death has been especially tough on his good friend â€“ and Brokeback Mountain costar â€“ Jake Gyllenhaal.

The actor, who is godfather to Ledger’s two-year-old daughter Matilda, has been devastated by last week’s news. Says one Gyllenhaal friend, “Jake is taking this harder than most people.”

Nowhere is that more apparent than on the New Mexico set of Gyllenhaal’s latest movie, Brothers.

“This has had a strong personal affect on [Jake],” says a set source. The insider adds that Gyllenhaal left the set immediately after learning of Ledger’s Jan. 22 death â€“ but he flew back on a commercial flight to shoot an additional scene on Thursday.

“He was there, but he wasn’t with us. It was obviously a major trauma,” says the movie source. “These guys were very close. [Jake] was sitting in the director’s chair staring off into space.”

Gyllenhaal has been off since shooting that scene, and was photographed Saturday looking subdued with girlfriend Reese Witherspoon in Los Angeles. Set sources say director Jim Sheriden is shooting around the grieving actor during his personal leave.

The 27-year-old’s somber mood is a sharp contrast to the happier times on the set of Brothers. During one intense early prison scene, Gyllenhaal jokingly reached into his pocket and took out a picture of his Brokeback beau to stick on the prison wall. “Like those prisoners put [loved ones] on the wall, but Jake’s was Heath Ledger,” one set source recalls. “That was hilarious. It was a nice moment.”

The source adds, “When you think back on it now, it’s touching.”
