An Iconic Hollywood Star Addressed Rumors About Her Involvement With Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves is one of those rare Hollywood stars whom everyone seems to love and wants to be happy. So the actor’s personal life is always of great interest, particularly when it comes to who he’s dating. And of course, there’s one co-star who fans have championed since the mid-‘90s. And now she’s opened up about whether their close relationship has moved to the next step, or if it ever will.
Babes in Toyland
Reeves has had several high-profile girlfriends since rising to fame in the mid-1980s. His first was Jill Schoelen, a fellow actress he met during his early career shooting Babes in Toyland. The pair were together for a few years before Schoelen moved on to another future A-list heartthrob, Brad Pitt.
Real marriage?
In 1992 Reeves walked down the aisle with Winona Ryder. Well, kinda. The pair only meant to say “I do” for the cameras while filming Bram Stoker’s Dracula. But Ryder later told magazine Entertainment Weekly, “In that scene, Francis [Ford Coppola] used a real Romanian priest. We shot the master and he did the whole thing. So I think we’re married.”
Jennifer Syme
Following a fling with Coppola’s daughter, Sofia, Reeves entered into a more serious relationship with PA and actress Jennifer Syme. The couple started dating in 1999 and shortly after, they revealed they were parents-to-be. Sadly, after eight months their baby daughter Ava arrived stillborn. And more tragedy was soon to follow.
Tragic loss
Yes, in 2001 Syme lost her life in a fatal car accident. She and Reeves had already been separated for over a year by this point. But the John Wick star was still left devastated by Syme’s passing. He later told Parade magazine, “I miss being a part of their lives and them being part of mine. I wonder what the present would be like if they were here — what we might have done together.”
