00:00Keanu Reeves has been dubbed the Internet's boyfriend, and his infinite acts of kindness
00:06have endeared him to legions of fans.
00:08This begs the question, why hasn't the handsome actor settled down?
00:12"...I'm stupid, okay?"
00:14"...Okay!"
00:15Here are a few reasons the actor might never walk down the aisle.
00:19Not that there's anything wrong with that.
00:21Perhaps Reeves doesn't want to get married because the very thought of starting a family
00:25brings back sad memories.
00:26The actor was once very much in love.
00:28According to Paper, Reeves met David Lynch's assistant, Jennifer Syme, in 1998 at a party
00:35for Reeves' band, Dog Star.
00:37They immediately hit her off and she eventually got pregnant.
00:39The couple planned to name their little girl Ava.
00:41But in late 1999, a month before she was due, Syme's pregnancy resulted in a stillborn.
00:48According to People, the couple couldn't deal with the loss and broke up a few weeks later,
00:52though they still remain close friends.
00:54Then in April 2000, Syme tragically died at the wheel of her car.
00:57According to MTV News, she was on her way home from a party at Marilyn Manson's house.
01:02As People reported, she sideswiped three parked cars, rolled over several times, and was thrown
01:07from the car.
01:08The magazine goes on to reveal,
01:09"...In her car, police found prescribed antidepressants and two rolled-up dollar bills
01:14with a white powdery substance inside."
01:16At the time, a friend told People,
01:18Reeves is finding it very, very difficult to cope with her death.
01:21In an interview with Parade magazine in 2006, Reeves admitted,
01:25"...Grief changes shape, but it never ends.
01:28People have a misconception that you can deal with it and say,
01:31it's gone, and I'm better.
01:32They're wrong.
01:33When the people you love are gone, you're alone."
01:35Here's something that might get in the way of Keanu Reeves getting married.
01:39Technically, he may already be married.
01:41Appearing on The Talk in January 2019, Reeves revealed,
01:45"...Yeah, once in a while I'll get a text, hello, husband."
01:48Wait, what?
01:50He's referring to none other than Winona Ryder, who co-starred with him in Bran Stoker's Dracula.
01:55Well, it turns out Keanu and Winona may have actually tied the knot on the set of the 1992
02:01film.
02:02Ryder shed more light on the situation in an August 2018 interview with Entertainment Weekly,
02:07revealing,
02:08"...I'm convinced we really did get married because it was a real Romanian priest, and they
02:14did a master that he did the whole thing."
02:17For reals, though?
02:18Indeed.
02:19Speaking to The Guardian, director Francis Ford Coppola admitted he wasn't pleased with the
02:23first version of the scene, so he came up with a plan.
02:26I thought that having the real wedding ceremony as it might be in that religion, Greek Orthodox
02:31Christianity, would be beautiful.
02:33So yeah, he brought in an actual priest.
02:36Coppola goes on to say,
02:37"...in a sense, when we're all done, we realize that Keanu and Winona really are married as
02:41a result of this scene and this ceremony.
02:44So romantic and so weird."
02:47It sounds like the actor may have given up hope on getting married, or ever having children.
02:51I love you.
02:53I love you.
02:54I love you.
02:55I love you so much.
02:59The year 2017 might have been a particularly low period for the 49 Ronin star, as his perception
03:06of love seemed entirely grim during his interview with Esquire.
03:09It's too late.
03:10It's over.
03:11I'm 52.
03:12I'm not going to have any kids."
03:13Calling himself a cliché, he declared,
03:15"...aging.
03:16I'm just starting to get better at it.
03:18Just the amount of stuff you have to do before you are dead.
03:20It's just, oh my god.
03:22Okay, where did the time go?
03:24How come things are changing?
03:25How much time do I have left?
03:27What didn't I do?"
03:28And if that statement isn't quite enough to get the waterworks flowing, consider this.
03:32In 2019, Reeves got remarkably honest at a press conference.
03:35According to Star 2, he was asked what love meant to him, and he replied,
03:39"...you mean romantic love?
03:40You know, I'm the lonely guy.
03:42I don't have anyone in my life.
03:43But if it does occur, I would respect and love the other person.
03:46Hopefully it'll happen for me."
03:48Keanu Reeves may be hard to get close to, quite literally.
03:51In June 2019, The Matrix star made headlines for a rather bizarre reason.
03:56Twitter users started pointing out that he doesn't touch women when he poses for photos.
04:01CNN caught wind of the phenomenon and compiled various fan responses.
04:05A typical tweet read,
04:07Possibility?
04:08He's reacting to the Me Too movement by realizing that hey, wait, maybe women want more space
04:13and changing his actions.
04:14Trendspotters at CNN went for broke and declared that Keanu Reeves is officially a national treasure.
04:20Well, if that's true, Reeves was apparently oblivious to the fact.
04:23The same month these endearing photo moments were making headlines, the actor stopped to
04:27talk to people as he walked the red carpet for the Toy Story 4 premiere.
04:31"...you've been dubbed the internet's boyfriend.
04:33Everyone is just kind of gushing over you on the internet.
04:35You didn't know that yet."
04:36"...no, well that's, uh..."
04:37"...that's wacky."
04:38"...that's wacky."
04:39It's a lot of positivity.
04:40It is rather wacky, isn't it?
04:43Perhaps Keanu's luck in love will take a turn for the better.
04:46In 2018, the Daily Mail reported that Reeves was spotted on a date with a mystery woman,
04:51claiming that he was seen having a romantic Italian dinner in Hollywood.
04:54The tabloid perhaps overstated the situation, writing that,
04:57"...it's not every day that the Lebanon native is seen smiling from ear to ear, but it looks
05:02like a blossoming relationship has given the Lake House actor a bit of pep in his step."
05:07How sexy
05:08In 2014, and obviously in a meditative state of mind, Reeves told the German website Buntah,
05:13"...I still don't have a family or kids, but I was just unlucky."
05:16Reflecting on the very concept of love, Reeves went on to say,
05:20"...social differences, standing, where you come from are still unique to every culture.
05:24But hopefully, love conquers all."
05:26So much to chew on there, and it's certainly an optimistic point of view.
05:30Keep in mind, we're now several years away from the birth of that sad Keanu meme.
05:34"...there's a sort of mythology that surrounds you, that you're sad, that there's this whole
05:41sad Keanu thing..."
05:43Here's hoping Reeves' jovial spirits are here to stay, regardless of whether or not he
05:48gets married.
