Gyllenhaal 'flies Swift to London'

Jake Gyllenhaal reportedly spent £100,000 (€120,000) flying new love Taylor Swift to London.

The 'Brokeback Mountain' actor – who is currently promoting his new movie 'Love And Other Drugs' in the British capital – flew the country music star in by private jet on Friday night, and the pair were said to be holed up in London's exclusive Dorchester hotel until yesterday morning.

Taylor – who has dated 'Twilight' actor Taylor Lautner and Disney star Joe Jonas in the past – was due to be in the city to perform at the Radio 1 Teen Awards yesterday, but jetted in early to see Jake.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Jake wanted some quality time with Taylor. If he hadn't done this, they would have missed each other as he had to fly back to the US. He hired a jet which would have easily set him back £100,000."

Rumours about the new couple have been circulating since they were spotted holding hands and looking loved-up while on a romantic walk around Brooklyn, New York, last month.

A source said at the time: "Taylor and Jake were walking around Park Slope holding hands. They looked like a couple!"

Jake – who split from actress Reese Witherspoon last December after more than two years together – has also dated stars including Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst in the past.
