As in, "sounds like"..... "LEILA?" Like in Leila who still has no last name even though she is in the high profile "daughter" of Jake Gyllenhaal and Liya Kebede. How very organic.
Could it be that a certain contracted gardener might just have been instructed to drop a few more seeds in a certain garden row? After all, that Calvin Klein ETERNITY campaign is not just about boosting sales. It's about Jake Gyllenhaal "finally" getting to be seen as a Dad at long last. Yep. Some identifiable sprouts just may have started to emerge among the shadowy weeds today. Remember, there's a lot of manure left to promote the growth of more rumors in the future, don't you think?
Stay tuned for future updates.

Dropped first thing this morning, October 19. I'd say Jake and his team missed the real drop date by less than 48 hours, what do some of you think?
lol. I love that old Harry Doyle (Bob Uecker). #classic
Well, it's not a Club Lounge Brunch moment, but as we watch this and any future Calvin Klein ads of this campaign, I think there are some of us who realize what we will see are created, substitute Polaroid moments for how Jake really is with those in his life he will never dare to acknowledge.

Imagine the surprise of many Jake Gyllenhaal fans when news broke on Thursday, October 5 that he was joining up with Calvin Klein for their Eternity fragrance line [see previous post: Love, Family, Intimacy for Jake Gyllenhaal - That Sounds About Right ]. But now upon further perusing, noseying, and poking around as we at Narnia are prone to do, it's amazing what comes up. So let's get right to it because there are signs there very well could be a bit more catch to this "cologne" campaign than a mere stray dryer sheet between Jake and his Calvin Klein's.
But enough of that. Rather than get all kinds of cheeky and carried away with Giphy, Narnia is going to just lay out some bullet points of what we have found today, if that's all right with you.
• Jake's co-star of the ad campaign is an Ethiopian born model by the name of Liya Kebede. Her Twitter Profile of Liya Kebede says she is a model, mother, actress, maternal health advocate. Entrepreneur. So, finding it interesting that she was already a mother, we decided to do some further Googling. And what did we find?
• Because it is interesting that she's a mother, right? Yet posing as a member of a new family with Jake. So we'll check it out. Well, look at this. So you Google "Liya Kebede and family" and one of the top stories? Via an obscure site called "Bossip", this story appears on the first Google search page: "Model's Split From Husband Finally Made Public" - Page Six The date of the article actually entitled "New Swirl Couple??? Is Jake Gyllenhaal Getting It In With Ethiopian Model Banger Liya Kebede???" is May 15, 2015 and originates from Page Six. Bossip source
Liya
Kebede — who’s having a major moment as the first black model to grace the
cover of Paris Vogue in five years, and is a favorite of hot Louis Vuitton
designer Nicolas Ghesquière — has quietly separated from her hedge-under
husband Kassy Kebede.
Liya,
37 — the Ethiopian-born beauty who has been a World Health Organization
goodwill ambassador and has her own clothing line, Lemlem — wed Kebede in 2000.
He runs Panton Capital Group and previously helped create Deutsche Bank’s
global-markets division.
The
couple has two kids. But a source close to the model tells us they’ve been
separated “for two years — it’s never been written about.”
Eyebrows
were raised in Cannes when Jake Gyllenhaal rushed through a crowd to Kebede at
the fest’s opening gala. “Jake focused right in on her,” said a spy.
“They
were talking for a long time. It was very flirty, Jake had her laughing.” But
his rep said the pair are just friends through a financier of Gyllenhaal’s hit
“Source Code.” Liya was in Cannes for L’Oréal with Julianne Moore and Naomi
Watts.
Whoa. Wait. What? Huh? Cannes 2015? But...But...But I thought Cannes 2015 was all about Jake with Sienna Miller and Xavier Dolan? We at Narnia have just about scratched our skulls down to bone marrow trying to remember this Liyah Cannes2015 story, how about you other longtime Gyllenhaal fans?
• Let's check our emails in 2015. M&M, do you see anything? Anything on "Liya Kebede and Jake" in May-June 2015"? Nope.
* PG, anything in your email folders? Nope.
* Okay, let's go to Oh My Godot.blogspot. Anything there? Nope, but then we weren't very active then, to be honest.
* Okay, let's go to Gyllenbabble.blogspot because they post just about everything on Jake, bar Austin. ;-) If it's going to be anywhere....it'll be there. See anything on Gyllybabble? Nope.
* How about Wet, Dark and Wild.blogspot. You know, the Jake blog that we wrote a two-part series about in August . Kate kept quite an archive on Jake herself. Nope - there are no entries in 2015, except for the goodbye cruel world post. More on this later.
* How about Twitter? Maybe there were mentions on Twitter...if we searched Jake Gyllenhaal/Liya Kebede/Cannes 2015?
Oh. Nope.
*What about a Twitter search on Page Six/Jake Gyllenhaal/Liya Kebede ? Oh. Nope.
* What about Lamey? If anyone was going to be all over any story of Jake and a wo-man, it would be Lamey, aka LaineyGossip: On May 22, she wrote a story about Jake hanging out at Cannes2015, but who did she write about? Jake and Zoe Kravitz. So...nope. "Zoe and Jake" - a Cannes2015 story by Lamey * Gossip Cop? "Nut 'n Honey" Nope. * Just Jared? Does Jake and Sienna Miller count? lol. Again - "nut 'n honey" Nope.
* Okaaay, well, that leaves one other active Jake blog [or should we say the one active Mgmnt-run (since around 2013) Jake blog- Waiting for Toothy2. Did they discuss this Jake/Liya connection in real time?
Well, what do you know?

Nope

and another comment followed this one, posting the Page Six story at 11:06 am.
Perhaps to add another "source", looks like Bossip added a You Tube video which has 845 views and has the same Swirl Title, uploaded by someone named "Dada". [Get it? Da-Da? #eyeroll] Did I mention there were no comments on this YouTube video which was supposedly posted on June 1, 2015?
• The child in the ad is simply known as "Leila, a four year old actress", a convenient age considering according to the elusive Page Six article, Jake and Kebede were already acquainted with each other by May 2015. And now we learn today from the article that Kebede and her husband had been "quietly" separated for two years already, which translates to 2013. So we have "Leila with no last name", a name similar to Liya's, is biracial, and is said to be four years old, which puts her birth in 2013.
Not only that - but look at the title of Bossip's story. Is that a type-o or a sexually charged subliminal message, "Is Jake Gyllenhaal Getting It In With..." instead of "getting it on"? " Can you do the math?
When you factor in that the new ETERNITY campaign is designed to focus on romance, love, intimacy and commitment, there is certainly more than just suggestive subtext being communicated here. Never mind the personal touch of Jake's admission that he personally collaborated on this project. • And then to wrap this up, let's take another look at what now turns out to be a suspiciously cryptic "comment" made on Oct 5 by a blogger named "Diana", which I had posted on Narnia on Thursday morning not even realizing just how foreshadowing everything was:
"The photo for
the Calvin Klein campaign made me think "if that would only be reality
for him soon" right away! Somehow I still hope he´s already found
someone and just tries to keep that private for as long as possible."
