According to Star, Reese Witherspoon finally accepted Jake Gyllenhaal's marriage proposal!  However, Reese is reportedly shy about going public with the news.  Although she was spotted wearing an engagement ring when she did a shoot for an Avon commercial, the attention seemed to make her a little nervous.

'It was gorgeous, and everyone noticed it right away,' says one
eyewitness. 'But she took it off as soon as she saw people staring.
Reese stuffed it in her bag and didn't put it on again the rest of the
day.'

Still, the large diamond sparkler was the talk of the two-day
shoot, says the second source. 'There was already word out that she and
Jake had gotten engaged, so the ring absolutely confirmed everybody's
suspicions.' "

Both Reese and Jake seem like the type of people who would be happier in a settled, committed relationship than on the dating scene, but who knows?  Do you think it's true?

Reese Witherspoon isn't one to typically talk about her private life, but in Elle Magazine this month she gives us a little insight into her mind.

On her divorce:

“Very humiliating and very isolating…But, by the way, if it’s not painful, maybe it wasn’t the right decision to marry to begin with.”

On dealing with the pain that stems from divorce:

“You see a lot of people play this blame game. Blame, blame, blame. You know? And it’s a really easy thing to do, and I’m certainly guilty of it. [You have to] look at yourself and go, ‘What part of this do I need to own? Which part of this is my responsibility? And that’s the painful work that you have to go through to hopefully get some real life knowledge out of it.”

On boyfriend, Jake Gyllenhaal: 

“He’s fabulous. He really is a fantastic guy. Unfortunately, he’s not in the movie, so we can’t really talk about him.”

On her reported Type A personality: 

“I don’t think I’m a control
freak. I think I’m just fearful. I operate from a lot of fear, like, of
things being lost or forgotten or neglected. Losing the spiritual
rather than the physical. It’s so funny to me that somehow I’ve been
portrayed as a very, like, closed-off or uptight person. I’m very
open.”

It's brave of her to talk about the divorce. It sounds like she's in a good place right now!
