Keanu Reeves’ new girlfriend ‘saved him’ after tragic death of ex

11/07/2019

Keanu Reeves has reportedly been ‘saved’ from a ‘dark place’ by his new girlfriend Alexandra Grant, following the tragic death of his former partner Jennifer Symes.

The Matrix actor went public with his and Alexandra’s relationship at the LACMA Art + Film Gala on Sunday, after quietly dating for the past year.

It’s said that Keanu, 44, is ‘extremely happy’ with the artist, who reportedly helped him to overcome the grief from the death of his ex-girlfriend.

Keanu and Jennifer were in a serious relationship and she fell pregnant with their daughter Ava. However, their baby girl was stillborn at eight months in 1999.

The couple split shortly after but the tragedy wasn’t over as Jennifer drove her 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee into a row of parked cars in Los Angeles and died in 2001 at the age of 28.

Revealing how Alexandra has been a good influence on Keanu, a source told Life & Style Weekly: ‘She’s one of the few people who’s managed to get Keanu to open up about his emotions and past.

‘He was in such a dark place for so long, but Alexandra’s positive outlook and support have played a huge part in helping him turn his life around.’

According to the insider, Keanu’s friends say Alexandra has not only ‘stolen his heart’ but has also ‘saved him’.

They described the 46-year-old artist as ‘kind, warm and spiritual’ as well as a ‘good communicator’.

It’s the first time Keanu has been pictured so publicly with a girlfriend in around 10 years and it’s safe to say he looked completely smitten during their red carpet debut.

An insider has since revealed that the couple wanted to keep their romance quiet after they started dating earlier this year, and have known each other for a decade.

They also said Keanu is ‘extremely happy’ and ready to be public about their love.

However, it’s not the first time the pair have been seen together.

Last month, they were pictured enjoying a cosy date night in Hollywood with Alexandra seen affectionately resting her head on his shoulder.

And in May, Alexandra joined the Toy Story 4 actor on the red carpet at the MOCA Benefit 2019, before they held hands while posing for a photo at the Saint Laurent Men’s spring summer 2020 show in Malibu back in June.
