Jake Gyllenhaal & Rooney Mara: Dating?!

Over the course of his career, Jake Gyllenhaal has been the subject of more dating rumors than Taylor Swift.

Most recently, it was rumored that Gyllenhaal was dating Dakota Johnson of 50 Shades of Grey fame.

Just prior to that, there were reports of Gyllenhaal hooking up with Susan Sarandon.

Like we said, Jake might be the only man in Hollywood who’s been one half of more celebrity couples (real and imagined) than Ms. Swift … whom he also dated.

So take the latest rumors about Gyllenhaal’s love life with more grains of salt than a bag of pretzels:

According to Hollywood Life and several other media outlets, Gyllenhaal has been spotted out and about in NYC with actress Rooney Mara.

You might remember Mara from her role in the The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, or her acclaimed turn in last year’s Carol.

Though not exactly a household name, Mara has en extremely bright future ahead of her.

Oh, plus her family owns both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants.

So you know – even if this whole acting thing doesn’t work out, she’ll probably be okay.

Again, Jake’s been connected to more famous women than the Lifetime network, so we’ll believe these two are really an item only after we hear some sort of official confirmation.

Still, there’s no denying these two would make a lovely couple.

Unless it turns out that Jake is a big Philadelphia Eagles fan, than all bets are off.

Jake Gyllenhaal Joins Bombing Survivor Jeff Bauman At Red Sox Game

Jeff Bauman was waiting for his wife, Erin to cross the finish line at the 2013 Boston Marathon.

But then, two bombs went off, and Bauman was so badly injured that both of his legs had to be amputated below the knee.

Three years and one daughter later, Bauman got to watch Erin cross the finish line, like she was supposed to that day.

Earlier, Bauman joined Jake Gyllenhaal to throw out the first pitch at Fenway park, where the Red Sox were playing the Toronto Blue Jays.

Gyllenhaal will play Bauman in the film adaptation of his memoir, Stronger, written after the tragedy that left three dead and thousands injured.  

The star is currently filming in the city, and has been spotted working out in neighborhood parks and a Soul Cycle studio in Back Bay.

Gyllenhaal (wearing David Ortiz’s #34 jersey) carried Bauman’s daughter, Nora to the pitcher’s mound where both men kicked off the game.

Both men are honorary co-captains of Boston Medical Center’s 2016 Boston Marathon, and on the eve of the world’s oldest marathon, joined their team for a pasta dinner at the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel, according to People.

The team has raised almost $ 638,000 for the hospital, where Bauman was treated back in 2013.
