(Cover) - EN Showbiz - A source has claimed Jake Gyllenhaal is serious about Taylor Swift.

The 29-year-old Hollywood actor was spotted spending time with 20-year-old country singer Taylor a couple of weeks ago when they indulged in what appeared to be a romantic weekend in New York.

They were seen apple picking before attending a recording of hit television show Saturday Night Live and spent the following day exploring the city and enjoying a delicious brunch, leading to speculation they are now an item.

There has been no official confirmation from either Taylor or Jake on the romance, although an insider claims things are getting serious.

Its early, but also very real. Theyve gotten hot and heavy pretty fast, a source told more! magazine. He seems serious about Taylor.

Sources say the pair make a wonderful couple because they both tend to shun the party lifestyle, and are quite mature for their age. Although Taylor is still only young, she has always appeared older than her years due to her incredible talent and successful career, so the source doesnt think Jakes age is an issue.

Taylor isnt a play-the-field type, which might be why she prefers to date older men. She never wants to be out clubbing all hours. And she wants a man in her life who is the same, added the insider. (C) Cover Media
