Forget Matt and Lance, Jake Gyllenhaal has a new buddy. 
Jake was spotted in San Diego last week, visiting the set of HBO's pilot "John from Cincinnati," where his pal Austin Nichols plays the lead. Gyllenhaal arrived and was immediately escorted to Nichols' trailer, where they spent most of the day. Austin left the trailer only to grab some grub for the two from catering tables. This photo shows the best friends at a Lakers game in 2006.
Then, this past Saturday, TMZ spies spotted Jake and Austin in Los Angeles, having a quiet dinner at Jar restaurant. The two eluded having their pic taken by paparazzi when they escaped through the kitchen's backdoor. Reese Witherspoon, who has been romantically linked with Jake, was not present.
This is not the first we've seen of Jake and Austin -- their friendship goes back to the 2004 filming of "The Day After Tomorrow." Unlike the trio of Jake, Matt and Lance, this duo appears to be a lasting friendship.

OMFG THEY NEED TO STOP LOOKING AT EACHOTHER AND JUST SLEEP TOGETHER ALREADY!!!!!!
Brokeback basketball? What's with the loving gaze? It looks like they're about to make out...out a basketball game.
TMZ,
I really think you need to investigate this whole thing.... Jake and Austin, Matt and Lance, Chris Richardson and Blake Lewis.... c'mon, get the REAL scoop for us and confirm what we already suspect about these hottie couples...
Ah, the look of lust between those two.....also, note their hands.
Never understood what women see in him.
Jake and his sis are such snobs anyway and she's the macho one!
Jake in Austin's trailer all day. *sigh*
Jake and Austin sharing a quiet dinner. *sigh*
Reese who?
Beat Down Brown is Going Down:
WOW!!! They must be like, totally , like, doing "it." Bcz, guys NEVER visit their buddies on movie sets, especially when they are both actors. And guys NEVER go out to eat with their guy friends in H'wood. So if you ever see a...guy... who's an actor...going to a film set where a friend of his is working in an ongoing series or if you ever see a guy in LA going out to dinner with another guy...they are like totally having sex. NOT!
Some of you girls are totally rabid about stuff like this. You either have the deeply offended attitude of dim bulb Anon at 4:46 or you think you're Professor of Sexuality & Sexual Diseases like Melissa.
God, when will some teenybopper girls grow up? IF Jake and Austin are a couple then why would you even say nasty things about AIDS etc. Why wouldn't you wish them well if they're just friends or anything more? Why is it always easier for someone to be a total messed up beeyotch instead of having anything good to say?
I think Jake and Austin would make a very interesting couple. It's obvious to me they look happy to be together. Why is that a bad thing?
I love that jake, always has a smile on his face no mattter what.
That must have been a boring ass Lakers game.... only action that happend that night was when Jake "Slammed" him in the ass... then "Dunked" his balls sqaure in Austin's mouth! Jake then got called for "double dribbling". Austin followed up in style with a 3 point "shot" right across Jake's face!
He shoots... HE SCORES!!!!
No sightings of Jake & Austin for ages and now since this stupid J/R rumor started two different sets of pics of them biking and now these sightings. Coincidence? I think not. Subtle way of saying don't believe everything you read about Gyllenspoon IMO.
Too cute together! I buy this couple more than the whole Jake & Reese crap.
Just because one camera snapped this shot of Jake looking at his friend Austin with a big grin and familiar eyes while Austin is telling him something, that makes them lovers? This millisecond of time when the shutter clicked on them is not necessarily representative of the nature of their relationship. The rest of the pics of this event also show the two of them laughing, smiling, looking straight at each other, enjoying the game, etc. etc. Isn't that what friends do, go out and have a good time together?
There is also a pic of Jake from a couple of years ago, with his arm over the shoulder of an older balding man, and Jake is looking at this man with a look that I think is of fondness and love. Nobody ever uses that pic to spin these unfounded rumours. I love that pic, I think it is very representative of Jake's loving caring nature. That is the person he is.
