Another celebrity that became attached to Reeves romantically was actress and model China Chow in 2008. And the star may have become accustomed to sharing the limelight with other high-profile boyfriends.
Apparently, Chow has dated such A-listers as Mark Wahlberg, Steve Coogan, and Jared Leto, over the years.
Is Keanu Married?
Reeves even got ‘married’ while shooting a movie together – although the wedding is unlikely to be formally recognized anywhere outside of the Romanian film set. During an interview, his co-star Winona Ryder recalled when her and Reeves’ characters walked down the aisle – and she made the startling claim that the pair could be husband and wife for real.
Winona Ryder revealed, “Francis employed a real Romanian priest for the scene. We shot the scene, and I think we’re married.” Reeves originally expressed his surprise at this recollection. After Ryder jogged his memory a bit further, though, the star jokingly relented, responding, “Oh my gosh, we’re married.”
His Other Relationships
Reeves was also connected to Clare Forlani – his co-star in 1997 biographical drama "The Last Time I Committed Suicide." The pair were rumored to have been engaged during an apparent three-year relationship in the mid-'00s.
During an interview in 2006 with the New York Daily News, however, Reeves insisted that he and Forlani had only ever been good friends.
Now He Has a New Flame
As Reeves’ love life has appeared to be relatively uneventful over the past recent years. And that’s precisely why so many fans were left startled when he emerged on the red carpet in 2019 with a mystery date. But the lady in question didn’t remain an enigma for too long.
As refreshing as it is to see Reeves holding hands with someone, it might be intriguing to wonder: Why are we so invested? Reeves’s acclaim aside, this is just another celebrity relationship, right?
He's Happy
Keanu’s unique relationship to the public, one founded on his demeanor of a “kind smile masking centuries of loneliness,” makes many of us feel a massive investment in his happiness. He’s notoriously suffered through tragedies over the years; so many of his fans are just pleased to see him happy.
And he isn’t making much out of the relationship or his new partner’s age. Not that we would expect differently. Reeves continues living his life out of the public eye, albeit with the curtain pulling back slightly more than usual.
