“I’m not going to give you timing,”

Shared Moments Beyond the Spotlight
Gyllenhaal also shared that he and Cadieu enjoy spending time together away from the public eye, including cooking and attending local events. He recalled a memorable outing to KCRW’s Good Food Pie Fest, where they eagerly secured tickets ahead of time. He enthused,
