  • Keanu Reeves lost his ex-girlfriend and their daughter.
  • He never got married. But he showed up to his fan’s wedding despite his past grief.
  • Keanu cannot say “no” to his fans. He always cares about them, talks with them, or even calls them directly.

Movie star, Keanu Reeves, has endured endless tragedies over the years. He and his then-girlfriend, actress Jennifer Syme, were expecting their first child together when tragedy struck.

The couple’s daughter, Ava Archer Syme-Reeves, was stillborn on Christmas Eve in 1999, eight months into Syme’s pregnancy. Reeves and his significant other were left devastated by the loss.

Unfortunately, they broke up weeks after the death of their child. The Hollywood pair met in 1998 at a promotional party and immediately “fell in love” with each other.

Sadly, two years after losing their daughter, Reeves suffered more heartbreak when Syme died in a car accident. She had attended a party and was offered a ride back home but instead chose to drive herself in her Jeep back to the event while drunk. Consequently, she crashed into parked cars and died on the scene.

Grieving Syme’s untimely passing, Reeves reportedly said he found it “very, very difficult to cope with her death.” To face the tragedy head-on, he took up the role of John Wick, who lost his wife in the 2014 movie. Of the character, the Canadian native said:

“I thought it was one of the foundations of the role. I love his grief. I relate to that, and I don’t think you ever work through it. Grief and loss don’t ever go away.”

Reeves further explained that grief and loss stay with a person despite their stage in life, “It’s always with you, but like an ebb and flow.”
