The loss of a child and the death of a loved one: all the tragedies in the life of Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves has long held the status of the saddest actor in Hollywood. However, few people know the true cause of his prolonged depression. At one time, tragic circumstances literally destroyed the life of the star. Read about how the events unfolded in our article.
Jennifer Syme's career began after she got a job as an assistant to director David Lynch. Thanks to the cinematographer, she was able to get her first film roles.
After participating in several serious projects, the doors opened for her to actors ' parties, where passions were always boiling, ideas for new films were born and fateful meetings took place.
It was at one of these gatherings in 1998 that Jen met Reeves. Syme was not the kind of girl who would immediately throw herself into the arms of the first guy she saw. The natural modesty of the aspiring actress instantly conquered Keanu. Reeves began courting Jennifer, and she soon returned the favor.
Syme and Reeves ' relationship developed rapidly. The lovers quickly began to live together, and a year after meeting the girl became pregnant.
Celebrities began to actively prepare for the birth of their daughter. The baby was supposed to be born on January 8, 2000. Keanu was setting up the nursery, buying things for his daughter. However, the joyful expectation soon turned to mourning.
The happiness of Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Syme collapsed in December 1999. At the next ultrasound, it turned out that baby Ava Archer Syme-Reeves died in the womb due to a blood clot in the umbilical cord.
For Jennifer, this news was a real tragedy. She was depressed and had to undergo treatment. So that nothing would remind his beloved of what had happened, Keanu distributed children's things to those in need.
Having survived the death of the child, Keanu and Jennifer could not be together. They made the decision to separate, and each was left alone with their pain.
Later, Jennifer got a job in a recording studio, began to use alcohol and drugs in large quantities, which played a cruel joke with her.
Keanu's heart finally broke on April 1, 2001. After a party hosted by Marilyn Manson, Jennifer Syme got behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol and did not wear a seat belt. On the way, she crashed her Jeep into three cars standing in the parking lot and at the same time flew into the roadway through the windshield.
In the morning, she was found dead near a pile of twisted iron. This tragedy has dealt a devastating blow to Keanu. He had completely withdrawn into himself, for a long time did not give any comments on this matter, and did not want to be pitied. Reeves buried his beloved next to his daughter and for 18 years did not dare to start a serious relationship.
After the death of his daughter and beloved girlfriend, Reeves began a serious depression. The actor, whose fortune at that time exceeded $ 350 million, lived in an inexpensive house by Hollywood standards, did not give interviews and spent most of his time alone.
Despite all the misfortunes, Keanu did not get angry at the whole world. Everyone who knows the actor describes him as the most humble and kind person they have ever met. Reddit even has a whole section about Reeves ' good deeds.
And even though he doesn't have a luxurious mansion, he doesn't follow fashion and goes to work on the subway, but he has a huge heart.
Recently, Keanu had a reason to smile again. On November 4, 2019, he appeared on the red carpet of the LACMA Art + Film Gala, holding the hand of artist Alexandra Grant. They have previously been spotted together by paparazzi, but now the celebrities have appeared for the first time at an official event as a couple.
The actor and the artist did not make official statements about their relationship, but the fans of the couple already understood everything. Last week in The network has another happy news: it turns out that Reeves has proposed to his beloved, and they are preparing for the wedding. I want to believe that very soon "the saddest actor in Hollywood" will finally find happiness, because he really deserves it.
