Reese Witherspoon and her steady, Jake Gyllenhaal (she found another mate with a three-syllable name to match her own) step out with Witherspoon's kids, Ava, 8, and Deacon, 3, on a hiking excursion in Malibu recently.

Reese seems to be more open about the 'Gyllenspoon' hookup since photos circulated showing ex Ryan Phillippe's actress flame, Abbie Cornish, cozying up with the kids.
