Now the San Francisco Chronicle is reporteding that she has said 'yes' after consulting with close friends.

The newspaper qotes a friend of the actress as saying: "Not only were they (her friends) crazy about Jake, they could see he was absolutely nuts about her. But you've got to understand - Reese is a one-man woman who hates playing the field.

"When Jake proposed in Rome, he knew Reese needed time, and didn't really expect her to say 'yes' right away. He just wanted her to know that he was serious about their relationship - serious enough to make her his wife."

Witherspoon ended her eight-year marriage to Phillippe with divorce last year.
