What happened to Keanu Reeves’ daughter?
Keanu Reeves and his late girlfriend, Jennifer Syme, had a stillborn daughter. Syme gave birth to the couple's stillborn child on December 24, 1999, eight months into her pregnancy.
A few weeks later, the couple split up, but they later got back together. Syme was killed on April 2, 2001, when her car struck three parked cars on Los Angeles' Cahuenga Boulevard. Syme hadn't been buckled in and had been intoxicated. Reeves informed investigators that they were dating again and that the day before the tragedy, they had brunch together in San Francisco.
Syme was buried beside their daughter, and Reeves served as a pallbearer for her. According to Dogstar pal Bret Domrose, he sought "peace and time" despite having a filming date for the Matrix sequels the following spring. According to insiders, Keanu suffered with the loss and found it "very, very difficult to cope with her death."
In an interview with BBC News to promote his science fiction book, "The Book of Elsewhere," Reeves stated, "I'm thinking about death all the time." He further stated, "Hopefully it's not crippling, but hopefully it's sensitised [us] to an appreciation of the breath we have, and the relationships that we have the potential to have."
