Legally glam: Reese gives fans a quick wave between snaps

Earlier in the week, Reese and Jake celebrated Bastille Day in Paris, taking in a fireworks display with the actress' eight-year-old Ava.

Jake looked at ease with Reese's daughter, at one point hoisting her aboard his shoulders to give her a better view.

His actress sister Maggie Gyllenhaal said recently: 'He's great with kids - it comes naturally to him.'

'He really has that touch.'

The couple's trip to Paris follows a stint in London earlier this month, where Jake was kept busy filming scenes for his new film, Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time.
