Witherspoon, Gyllenhaal hunting for house

Washington (ANI): Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are looking for a house in London. The Hollywood star couple, who have been dating since last year, are said to have been viewing a number of properties, both apartments and town houses, in the upmarket area of Mayfair, according to the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper.

Witherspoon is particularly keen on finding a home safe enough for her two young children, from her marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe.

"Reese was extremely concerned about security issues," Contactmusic quoted a real estate source, as telling the publication. "She seemed to particularly like places where they could enter and exit not directly onto the street. That's not always an easy thing in Central London, especially Mayfair. But we were able to come up with a couple of places both she and Jake seemed to like."

Gyllenhaal is currently in the U.K. filming scenes for his new movie 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time'.
