Actress Reese Witherspoon says she is "blessed" to have boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal by her side.

The Legally Blonde star has been dating Gyllenhaal since last year and the pair has been rumoured to be currently househunting in the U.K. together, with plans to settle down there.

And Witherspoon is looking forward to her future with the actor, insisting it's his support that makes her life a "happy" one.

She tells American Vogue, "He's (Gyllenhaal) very supportive.

"Suffice it to say, I'm very happy in life, and I'm very lucky to have a lot of really supportive people around me who care very much for me, and, you know, that's all you can hope for in life. I am very blessed in that way."
