Keanu Reeves is often known for keeping his personal life private, but in a recent interview, the actor opened up about the devastating loss of his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Syme. The 28-year-old was killed in a car accident while driving home from a party in 2001, just a year after giving birth to their stillborn daughter.
Reeves shared some of his thoughts on grief, saying, "Grief changes shape, but it never ends." He went on to talk about how the experience has affected him, stating, "I think the way that we deal with it is how we grow. It's always with you, but hopefully, you're moving forward."
The couple had dated for a year and were said to have remained friends afterward. Syme was described as a passionate filmmaker and actress, and Reeves has spoken highly of her talents in the past.
Despite the loss he suffered, Reeves has continued to work in Hollywood and has had significant success with films like the Matrix series and John Wick. He has also been in a relationship with artist Alexandra Grant since 2017, and the couple has been very private about their romance.
