Friends are claiming Jake Gyllenhaal proposed to Reese Witherspoon during the couple's private vacation in Rome last October. The Sweet Home Alabama actress gave her answer as, "Not yet". But her friends are telling her to say yes.
A pal says, "Not only were they (her friends) crazy about Jake, they could see he was absolutely nuts about her. But you've go tot understand - Reese is a one-man woman who hates playing the field."
"When Jake proposed in Rome, he knew Reese needed time, and didn't really expect her to say 'yes' right away. He just wanted her to know that he was serious about their relationship - serious enough to make her his wife."
Witherspoon divorced Ryan Phillippe on October 5th last year after their 8-year marriage broke down.
