Although rumors of wedding bells have circulated around Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon for months now, a new report in OK! magazine claims Jake is interested in more than a wife — he’s ready to start a family, too.

“(Jake) knows he might be jumping the gun thinking of kids, but he knows that Reese is the one,” a friend of the actor told the magazine. “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!”

It seems Jake’s grown so fond of playing part-time dad to Reese’s two children, 8-year-old Ava and 4-year-old Deacon, he can’t wait to expand the family. And Reese thinks he’s ready for the job, according to another source.

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