When it comes to affairs of the heart there are no rules, so it went with the whirlwind romance of Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal.

After two months, neither participant apparently saw the utility of continuing their relationship, according to X17 online.

Interesting though how the clever pair foiled aggressive photographers from one back alley to another, with the help of cop copters.

Of course Gyllenhaal is no Hugh Hefner, so the ten year difference in their ages may have been a factor.
