Keanu Reeves, the iconic star of The Matrix, has enjoyed a glittering career in Hollywood, amassing both love and success. With a filmography boasting blockbusters grossing over £3 ƅilliоn worldwide and numerous Oscar wins, Reeves stands as one of the industry’s finest. However, beyond the glitz and glamour, his romantic journey has been a complex one. As he celebrates his 59th birthday, Daily Star delves into his love life, from tragic losses to rediscovering love with a friend.
In 1986, Reeves met Jill Schoelen on the set of Baƅes in Toyland, sparking a three-year romance that ended before Schoelen moved on with Brad Pitt.
During the 1990s, Reeves was linked to British socialite Amanda de Cadenet, a relationship marked by complexity and a significant age difference.
In 1998, Reeves found solace in actress Jennifer Syme, but tragedy struck when their stillborn daughter, Ava, led to their eventual breakup. Jennifer’s untimely deɑth in a car crɑsh in 2001 shattered any hopes of reconciliation.
Amidst grief, Reeves found love again in 2019 with artist Alexandra Grant, and the couple has maintained privacy about their relationship.
Their red carpet debut in 2019 marked a public acknowledgment of their romance, which began in 2019 but traces its roots back to their collaboration in 2009.
While acknowledging his blissful moments with Grant, Reeves had previously admitted to having a crush on Sandra Bullock, his co-star in Speed, in 2019. The revelation came after Bullock herself had confessed to a crush on Reeves during the filming of the action flick in 1994.
The comedian quizzed Keanu Reeves about Sandra Bullock’s confession of having a crush on him, to which he responded that he was unaware of her feelings, adding humorously, “She obviously didn’t know that I had a crush on her, either.”
The audience cheered at the revelation, prompting the 65-year-old to playfully remark, “I can’t believe you both had crushes on each other… and you were so scɑred.” Reeves clarified, “We were working!” but hinted at a past workplace romance with a lighthearted tone.
