Kirsten Dunst News

Jake Gyllenhaal Watching Then-Girlfriend Kirsten Dunst Eat a Salad Is Still the Best Photo on the Internet

How They Met: Jake and Kirsten were introduced through the former’s sister, actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, who co-starred alongside Dunst in Mona Lisa Smile. They began dating soon after, in 2002.

Why We Loved Them: They were just two kids in love (er, maybe), making questionable decisions and moving far too fast. Both were in their early 20s when they began dating, soon after which they moved in together and adopted a German Shepherd named Atticus. When they split in 2004, Gyllenhaal retained custody of the dog. Atticus passed away in 2015 after more than a decade of being a Very Good Boy.

When They Peaked: In the summer of 2003, Kirsten and Jake went for lunch in London. She ordered a salad; he ordered soup. Perhaps it was the cranberry-hued liquor they sipped or the fact that she was 21-year-old American royalty abroad and truly don’t care, but Kirsten chose this moment to experiment with eating her salad sans fork. Jake was either disgusted or enamored with this bold show of culinary rebellion and watched her intently. This is their legacy:

The Breakup: In an interview with since-shuttered British tabloid News of the World, Kirsten reportedly explained that their split came out of radically different lifestyle preferences. “He’s a stay-at-home boy and I’m an out-on-the-town girl,” she said.
