May 29, 2010. Jake and Austin had not been seen together since the bike riding photo op in April of 2009. Instead, Jake had stepped out for repeated photo ops with beard Reese Witherspoon.
Prince of Persia opened this last weekend of May 2010 (Memorial Day weekend) and the 29th was Saturday. An embargo time period seemed to have been passed and the first chance he had, Jake stepped out with Austin, although Sophia Bush needed to be present. Pausing at the door, long enough to capture both of them in the same picture:
And the slightest hint of a smile on Jake's face, the little scamp!
He knew full well what he was doing. This was Jake saying "I've done what was asked of me and I worked my ass off for promo, but now I get to step out with my guy."
Motive No. 2 behind the photo op and likely really number 1, but still we see it as a two-for-one! As Narnia had pointed out in the 30th day of Narnia Dispatches: The Case of Jake and Austin Photo Ops and the Stork - Day 30 , there seems to have been a direct correlation with these two men stepping out together for the camera and the birth of a Gyllenichols. And in this case, 2010 was the year that Baby #4 was born in August and discussed in Day 17 of 30 Days . Yes indeed, a two-fer!
An aside:
In significant photo ops such as this one (because of the timing), there are other telltale notes of importance:
1) the wording of the Just Jared post. Even though it was supposed to be Austin 'dating' Sophia at the time and allegedly the 'couple', note the title did not read "Jake Hits the Gym with Austin Nichols and Sophia Bush". Wording is very revealing if you're paying attention; this was Jake telling everyone what was what and who was who.
2) There is also a bit of signalling going on with the inclusion of this shot. In the window reflection, it's apparent that Austin is riding shotgun besides Jake with Sophia relegated to the back.
And who has the last word with this last picture?

I LOVE this song You're So Strong!!!!! It always takes me back to one of my aerobic classes.
The gym photos! I'll never forget them - I was visiting Special and we went to go see Prince of Persia that weekend. Will never forget when these pictures came out - what a happy moment.
Those socks though :-). Austin was needing to hit the gym. He looked like he had been eating too much ice cream :-)
