I have no memory of this, but according to Star Magazine, Jake Gyllenhaal and Dakota Johnson dated briefly four years ago, in 2011? I probably didn’t pay attention to the rumors at the time because I – like the rest of America – was still reeling from Jake’s breakup with Taylor Swift at the time. I might not have paid attention to the rumors because I didn’t pay attention to Dakota Johnson at the time. In any case, they might have had a thing back in the day. And now Jake wants to rekindle the cuddlefesting flame.

Four years after Dakota Johnson and Jake Gyllenhaal had a brief, two-month fling after meeting at Sting’s birthday party in NYC, the actor wants another chance. Jake, whose romance with Ruth Wilson recently fizzled out, has been showering Dakota with sweet messages and flowers.

“His crush on her never went away,” dishes a source. But Dakota, who ended her romance with Matthew Hitt over the holidays, has yet to give in to his sweet gestures. Maybe if he drew up a contract?

Dakota is 25 years old now and she’s pretty single – her breakup with Matthew Hitt became public last month. Leonardo DiCaprio was allegedly sniffing around Dakota as well, although those reports seem… odd. One thing is for sure: Dakota is a hot property nowadays. It wouldn’t surprise me if all kinds of celebrity dudes are giving her a second look. I think Jake has a better shot than Leo, and I also think Dakota looks more like Jake’s type than Leo’s. Then again, she’s dated outside of the narrow Hollywood A-list before and maybe she’s not really looking for a big high-profile romance. Still… Jake and Dakota would be pretty together (again).

Also: the “contract” joke is, in my opinion, a reference to Fifty Shades of Grey and Christian Grey wanting a sex/relationship contract. As opposed to Jake maybe having contractual beards. But it could go either way!
