"I remember being in rehearsal, and the two of them had googly eyes with each other," co-star Jake Gyllenhaal said of the couple. "There were sparks immediately," added co-star Anne Hathaway. "It was adorable."
The Brooklyn, N.Y.-based duo welcomed their daughter during promotion for the film, with Ledger calling the former "Dawson's Creek" star the perfect mom.
