Well, two of Narnia's faves and the OG OTP, Jake Gyllenhaal and his partner-in-crime, Austin Nichols, once again find themselves helping to direct traffic to this day, November 11 - a day that by this point in time, Narnia firmly believes is the birthday of one of their kiddos.
Narnia refers to this offspring as Baby Tile 11-11-11 and several posts have already been devoted to this particular birth because of the extraordinary amount of activity which surrounded her birth.
This post from November 11, 2017 shares examples of the remarkable amount of social media activity leading up to November 11, 2011 - "Jake Gyllenhaal - Oh the Places He'll Go on 11.11".
This post which is Part 2 of "Jake Gyllenhaal - Oh the Places He'll Go on 11.11" takes a brief look at why we believe the offspring was a girl and Jake's attendance on Baby Tile 11-11-11's birthday in 2017, at the Governor's Awards. Here he was with Angelina Jolie and Loung Ung the previous week at the Hollywood Film Awards.

| "And Austin & I will be adding a fifth to this group in six days!" |
Jake was busy doing promo for Stronger during this time, which was beneficial to hide why he was in Los Angeles - which was awaiting the birth of his and Austin's number 5 child.
 |
| You can't tell, right? I just became a dad 5x over! |
And so, here we are in 2022, eleven years later. These two men would go on to add more chairs to the dinner table and now the parents of teenagers, tween-ers, with the youngest likely turning seven years old later this year (Baby Tile Congras!).
By this time, Jake and Austin continuing to "pull this off", has become the biggest non-secret in Hollywood. How do we know this? Because back in 2006, they helped to show publicists and talent teams that it can be done. Hide surrogacy births, hide marriages, and everything else that goes along with them. While now, the Hollywood closet involves a rotisserie wheel of stunt baby bumps and births, Jake and Austin's real-life escapades proved that it could be done.
Apparently, Jake's team believes that shenanigans are still needed, shenanigans occurring this week which only help further drive in the arrows pointing to NOVEMBER 11 on the calendar. LOL! smh.
Here was Austin allegedly on Nov 8, putting his pupper Otis in harm's way on his eFoil board:
 |
| "Gee Dad, at least you coulda asked Papa to spring for a jacket for me, too." - Otis |
And tomorrow, Austin will be in Wilmington, NC for the FWB Cash Grab, I mean - Friends With Benefits "Charities" Event, the group consisting of Hilarie "Hil" Burton-Morgan, Sophia Bush and Bethany Joy Lenz. Otherwise known around Narnia as the door bouncers to Eyecon. No doubt it will be a red-eye flight for Austin, who will have quite a flight ahead of him to get to Wilmy.
And then there's his hubbers, Jake. And Jake looked at the FWB event scheduled for November 12 and said "Austin, hold my beer."
Yesterday, on November 10, this announcement came regarding Jake:
"The Secret Society of Aunts and Uncles" - by Jake Gyllenhaal and Greta Caruso.
You cannot have read about Jake on Narnia and not know about Greta Caruso, who is referred to in the People article as Jake's "longtime writing partner".
What was that? "longtime writing partner".
Narnia recommends donning a pair of these before even reading further in the People article.
We're just sayin'. 😉 Ironic, isn't it, since Austin is the one who graduated with the degree in creative writing? Perhaps Austin leaned over Jake's shoulder at night, offering some input. After all, Austy is also an uncle!
"The Secret Society of Aunts and Uncles" is a picture book, which contains 500-1000 words and is targeted for those aged 2 - 8 years old. Jake and Austin do presently have one tot who falls in that age range, although his nieces do not.
But Jake says the book was written for his nieces and no doubt, this whole topic will provide material for him as he prepares to do interviews and maybe a few television promos for his upcoming animated Disney film, Stranger World.
Gyllenhaal tells PEOPLE that he wrote this book for his
nieces "and for all the nieces, nephews, uncles, and aunts out
there." - People, 11 10 22
As for this "writing partner", Greta Caruso? She has served as a reliable and loyal beard for Jake for many years, in addition to being a friend. There's a reason why she has her own hash tag/label on our blog. We found this quote quite interesting:
"As a new mom, I'm eager for my kid — and all kids —
to remember that they should look to their aunts and uncles for a special kind
of love and honesty, and what better way to do that than an adventure in the
Secret Society for Aunts and Uncles?" Caruso wrote in a statement. - People and Books of Brilliance (who conveniently call her Jake's partner, not writing partner. 👀)
Well, now. Yet another member of Jake's close inner circle allegedly having a kiddo! Jake must be making himself dizzy visiting these folks' homes so he can burp and change diapers on babies again, lol. 😀
Does anyone else find it very strange that Caruso refers to herself "as a new mom" prior to saying "my kid"??? What first time parent calls their newborn baby "my kid"??? You call them "my baby", not "my kid". Usually "my kid" would refer to one who is older, i.e. walking and talking. 👀👀 You've waited nine months to be able to say "my baby" or "the baby"; you're not going to rush that opportunity once the moment arrives.
And talk about the eleventh hour!
We end this birthday tribute with new GPS content on both parents, Austin AND Jake.
First, here we have Austin providing us play-by-play of his flight. Here he is boarding and recording from his plane.

| actually surprised we don't have some kind of ATX signage somewhere |

| gonna watch My Policeman, Austy? 😊 |
And then, because obviously Disney cracked the whip and told Jake there would be high-flying shenanigans of an extraordinary nature this week, we have a generic brand doppelganger, I mean we have Jake in New York City, allegedly at the weigh-ins for UFC 281! This is comical.
It would probably make sense that Baby Tile 11-11-11's birthday would be celebrated in New York City, which would enable a shorter flight for Austin. Perhaps it was a breakfast birthday party. Pancakes for all! And then Dad has to leave early and Papa leaves the clean-up to the nannies. See ya, kids!
Whatever they did, in 2022, it could never be more evident that Baby Tile 11-11-11 happened. Never forget - from Feb 17, 2011, "a fifth on its way",
(Anon's aren't always going to be 100% right. Obviously, the two guys aren't waiting "a few years" to come out. In fact, it's really not looking like that will ever happen.)
But also remember,
Oh, we believe, Anon. We believe, without a doubt.
So, Happy Birthday to the Gyllynichols Tween 11-11-11, who turned eleven (11) years old today. She was a Friday child and Friday's child is loving and giving.
No doubt, she's had to be very (for)giving of her fathers, particularly as she has grown old enough to understand and have access to social media, and know/see what they do on and surrounding her birthday and pretend to write a book about.
Aaah well. We're certain appropriate celebrations were had. And we look forward to the oncoming (real) photos of Jake as he begins his promotion for Strange World and Austin, who arrives in Wilmington, NC for the convention.
