Relationships and equations can change in Hollywood in the blink of an eye and leave you wondering where things went wrong. One of the most prominent lore in the industry is Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal’s infamous relationship, especially after the release of her album,Red.Let’s just say that theirtime together didn’t endAll Too Wellfor Jake Gyllenhaal who not only became the punching bag for Swifties but also probably lost out on a great friendship.
It’s no secret that Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have been in one of the most adorable romances of all time. Add Jake Gyllenhaal to the mix and things couldn’t get better! Now, whether it was a competitive spirit or the involvement of a third person, the actors have apparently drifted apart and people may be blaming Taylor Swift for it all.
Did Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds grow apart after their 2017 film?
Playing Wolverine and Deadpool in Fox’sX-Menuniverse,Hugh JackmanandRyan Reynoldsgrew close with time and their bromance is still the talk of Tinseltown. Just take a look at theDeadpool & Wolverinepromotions for an example! They first worked together onX-Men Origins: Wolverine(2009).
Then came 2017 and Reynolds starred in a horror sci-fi film,Life,alongsideJake Gyllenhaal. The movie focuses on a six-member crew at the International Space Station discovering evidence of alien life on planet Mars. The film made $101 million at the box office (viaThe Numbers).

During filming, Reynolds and Gyllenhaal became great friends and ultimately, he was roped into the bromance with Jackman. The ultimate trio! According to a source who confided inLife and Stylemagazine, the three powerhouses got together really well…for some time.
The source said,“The three of them seemed to get along well. At least, at first.”Then apparently, Gyllenhaal turned a bit too competitive in his career and was even ready to battle Reynolds for roles. As per the source,“But word is, Jake got too competitive. He and Ryan were vying for the same roles, and it became awkward.”
Since Jackman was the common friend, the situation between the two left him caught in the middle. Which path would he take? Given his closer bond with Reynolds, he ultimately sided with him, leaving Gyllenhaal to fend for himself.
The source added,
It’s hard for Jake to watch them promote the film together. He feels snubbed all over again. Jake may say he’s better off without those guys, but it still bothers him.
Was it just Gyllenhaal’s competitiveness that drew him away from Reynolds and Jackman or was there something more to it?
Why fans speculate Taylor Swift’s involvement in the trio’s end
Gyllenhaal is essentially considered to be one of the worst exesTaylor Swifthas. Things didn’t work out for the two and the release of her 10-minute-longAll Too Wellreally had fans putting two and two together. Needless to say, Gyllenhaal is a touchy subject for anyone who loves the singer.
Jackman and Reynolds, along with the latter’s wifeBlake Lively, are all close friends with Swift and have been for a long, long time. When she dropped the Taylor’s Version ofRed,fans believed it to be a look into her rocky relationship with Gyllenhaal.
“She told him she had a boyfriend”: Jake Gyllenhaal Didn’t Want to Date Taylor Swift But He Didn’t Hesitate Asking a Complete Stranger Out
This, along with the absence of theRoad Houseactor from the circle’s social media got fans working overtime to link the two events together. Lively and Swift have been close friends since we can remember. The singer has also named the characters in her song,Betty,after Reynolds and Lively’s children – James, Inez, and Betty.
Thus, her close bond with the power couple and in turn their relationship with Jackman makes fans wonder if Swift was the reason why Gyllenhaal was blacklisted from the group.
Aren’t they besties with Taylor 😩😩😩
is it cuz blake likes taylor cuz if it is im gonna get pissed off
Cause of course the wife is ‘best friends’ with the blonde singer
In the end, Hollywood’s web of relationships will always remain tangled, and most of the time there is no way of telling what went on behind the scenes of the drama. Whether the trio’s falling out was Gyllenhaal’s fault or Swift’s, it is all a good reminder that the industry isn’t really what it seems!
