Close siblings Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal are dealing with a family crisis. In Touch can exclusively reveal that their mom, screenwriter Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal, and dad, director Stephen Gyllenhaal, have separated. “Nobody saw this coming,” says one insider, and another tells In Touch, “The family is completely distraught, but they are all uniting during this sad time.” The situation has apparently made Jake appreciate girlfriend Reese Witherspoon that much more. “He and Reese have been talking about marriage a lot lately,” the insider says. “Stephen has moved out,” says an insider about the breakup of the tight-knit clan.

Now that she’s back in Brooklyn after touring the world to promote The Dark Knight, Maggie Gyllenhaal has reached out to her neighbor Michelle Williams to arrange play dates for their daughters.
Maggie met Michelle and Heath Ledger’s little girl Matilda, who turns 3 in October, while filming the Batman sequel with Heath.
Now the actress, who is mom to Ramona, 22 months, hopes to keep the families close.
“She felt drawn to the little girl after he passed,” a friend of 30-year-old Maggie — whose brother Jake is Matilda’s godfather — tells OK!.
“She wants Michelle to know she’s there to talk to or watch Matilda.”
Meanwhile, on a recent trip to L.A., Heath’s family bought Dark Knight tees designed by Salvage from the Lisa Kline Men boutique.
When she spooted the Joker shirts, one of his sisters cried, “This is my brother on here — we have to get these!”
