The French model, 28, was his stunning date on opening night on Sunday, and she couldn't have been prouder of her actor beau, 44.

Jake and Jeanne were first spotted together in late 2018 on walks in New York City and Paris, sparking conversation that they were together, which wasn't directly confirmed for nearly three years.

They made things official in September 2021 when they made their first red carpet appearance together at the premiere of Jake's sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal's directorial debut, The Lost Daughter.

More recently, fans caught a glimpse of them at the 2025 Golden Globes and Jake's big night on Broadway.

While they are largely private about their relationship, Jake has been more open about discussing his girlfriend since their red carpet debut.

In a 2022 interview with Esquire, he described spending lockdown in his godmother Jamie Lee Curtis's guest cottage with Jeanne.

"In a lot of ways, we're family," he said of his girlfriend. "I'm in a relationship that is full of love and support. I feel so at ease."

He added: "I'm not unaware that there's interest in my life. My life is wonderful. I have a relationship that is truly wonderful, and I have a family I love so much. And this whole period of time has made me realize that."

"But I'm at a point in my life where I realize that family really is the only thing that matters to me."
