Could marriage be in Jake Gyllenhaal’s future? The actor discussed the subject during the Oct. 4 episode of The Howard Stern Show. While talking about the Oscar-nominated star’s career, Howard asked Jake if he thinks he’s equipped to take on another set of roles: husband and father.

“That’s all I want is to be a good husband and a father…That really is what I want,” Jake replied. “And now that I have fulfilled a lot of things in my career that I feel comfortable with, I can safely say that. I don’t know if I could have said that before.”

Jake then spoke about how he admires his sister Maggie Gyllenhaal and her husband Peter Sarsgaard for the way they’ve raised their daughters Ramona, 15, and Gloria, 9, noting his nieces “make me have faith in the future, honestly.”

For years, Jake has been in a relationship with model Jeanne Cadieu. The pair first sparked romance rumors in 2018. And while they often try to shield their relationship from the public eye, they’ve been attending more public events together. Just last week, for instance, they both went to the 74th annual Tony Awards, where Jake was nominated in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play category for his work in Sea Wall/A Life.

“It was nice having her there,” he said. “It was great.”

While Jake and Jeanne didn’t pose for pictures together at the Tonys, they did make their red carpet debut as a couple a few days later at the New York Film Festival premiere of Maggie’s movie The Lost Daughter.

Howard then said he could see Jake and Jeanne getting married one day and asked if she’s the one.

“There’s only so far I’ll go as, you know, in talking about it,” Jake answered. “I love her so much. She’s such a good person.”

He then noted “it’s a choice for both of us.”

“I mean, I don’t think she really enjoys, you know, all the other stuff,” he said, seemingly referencing life in the spotlight, “and so that’s part of the reason why I just adore her. And not at all the main reason but, you know, one of them. I mean, it was great to have her there.”

Noting his family is close, Jake said Jeanne wanted to be at the premiere to support Maggie.

“My sister grabbed her, pulled her on that red carpet, which I think neither of us are really inclined to, you know, go on-even me,” he said. “And to be there to support my sister was what we’re there to do and I was like, ‘Oh yeah, this is family.'”
