Aww, I really wanted last week’s Enquirer report about Jake Gyllenhaal hooking up with Susan Sarandon “on the down-low” to be true. Although it was pretty clear that the Enquirer was simply basing the story on how the two happened to pose together at the Southpaw premiere. Anyway, Gyllenhaal’s romantic life (as far as the press is concerned) is starting to turn into one of those revolving doors. Much like Chris Evans or Tom Cruise, the tabloids are having a ball. Much like Cruise, rumors about Jake tend to involve the word “smitten,”, but maybe the press just needs to come up with some new descriptors.

So who is Jake Gyllenhaal dating this week? Someone he has reportedly dated before, and although few people seem to remember this relationship ever happening. Earlier this year, Star magazine reported that Jake was smitten with Dakota Johnson, and that she’s “the one who got away” in 2011. They went out on a few dates back then, and Jake has missed her ever since (even though he cuddlefested with Taylor Swift and a couple of models in the meantime). Radar has the details on Jake and Dakota’s top-secret dinner date:

Jake Gyllenhaal and Dakota Johnson shared the same table at an exclusive Los Angeles nightclub last week, and RadarOnline.com has all the exclusive details on the romance.

The film stars made a grand display of leaving through separate exits, but it was hardly a cover for their rekindled romance. (The hunky Southpaw star claimed he was single in April, and Johnson reportedly broke up with her most recent boyfriend, Matthew Hitt.)

“Jake and Dakota were accompanied at their table by different people throughout the night – including the owner of the bar [that’s] so inaccessible to the public that it doesn’t even have a name,” an eyewitness told Radar. “They left the venue through separate exits, Johnson out the front and Gyllenhaal via a back door.”

The source spotted the handsome A-lister and daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson “glancing back at other as if they were getting away with something.”

The pair were romantically linked briefly in 2011, and the Oscar nominee, 34, has reportedly been pining for the Fifty Shades of Grey starlet, 25, ever since – even sending her flowers.

Do you buy this story? It sounds sort of believable. Lots of guys must be after Dakota, and this probably means Jake really enjoyed 50 Shades, which is hilarious. Physically, these two would look good together, but he seems like such a wet blanket, whereas she seems flirty and full of life. What would they talk about together — the moon? If this is just a hookup, then I guess they don’t have to talk at all.
