"How&amp;apos;s single life treating Jake Gyllenhaal these days?\r\n&amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s ... it&amp;apos;s okay,&amp;quot; he says in May&amp;apos;s GQ.\r\nA few years ago, Gyllenhaal -- who has since split from Reese Witherspoon -- boasted that &amp;quot;the most important job for a man is to find the right woman.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nDoes he still feel that way?\r\n&amp;quot;Mmmm,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;It goes in either direction. I think it&amp;apos;s important for every man to find the right woman and every woman to find the right man.&amp;quot;\r\nAsked if that&amp;apos;s the most important thing, he pauses for a long time. &amp;quot;Who am I to say what the most important thing in life is?&amp;quot; he replies. &amp;quot;The best answer I could give to any of those things is that I really don&amp;#x2019;t know. Particularly right now in my life.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nGyllenhaal&amp;apos;s parents -- film director Stephen Gyllenhaal and screenwriter Naomi Foner -- finalized their divorce last year after 29 years of marriage.\r\nHe says such events can &amp;quot;bring out the truth and honesty in a relationship, and that&amp;apos;s greatly relieving to everyone &amp;#x2014; that people can kind of move and change and grow. And so in some ways, as much pain as there is, there&amp;apos;s also a positive outlook on it. And thinking, you know, some relationships last a lifetime, and some relationships don&amp;apos;t.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nHe says his parents&amp;apos; split hasn&amp;apos;t affected his personal view about relationships. &amp;quot;Like I said, I think it takes a lot of courage for my parents to make the decision that they made, and I trust both of them and their outlook on life,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;They&amp;apos;re wonderful parents to me and my sister [Maggie].&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I think any successful marriage, even if it hasn&amp;#x2019;t lasted for a lifetime, will create a sense of an ideal,&amp;quot; he goes on. &amp;quot;But I don&amp;#x2019;t have a fantasy. There&amp;apos;s not a fantasy. I know it&amp;apos;s messy, is what I want to say.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Family ... my family, you know ... I love them ...&amp;quot; he adds. &amp;quot;Whatever they do, whatever they are ... I love them...&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
