A tabloid insisted last year that Keanu Reeves wanted to adopt a baby. Here is a closer look at the story.
Last summer, an outlet claimed that the Hollywood actor was ready to embrace fatherhood. There was a mention of a tragic incident, which occurred in 1999. Jennifer Syme. Reeve’s then-girlfriend delivered their stillborn child.
The report cited the emotional trauma the actor went through then, which made him reluctant to become a father after that. However, it seems that the actor had a change of heart and he desired a baby.
A so-called source mentioned that it took the Speed actor around 20 years to realize that he can shower love to a child of his own. The tipster further purported that Reeves was taking suggestions from his longtime pal and Speed costar Sandra Bullock for the possibility of adoption.
The insider also said that Reeves is gentle and kind and he can be an “incredible father.” However, when Gossip Cop investigated the published story, they learned that it was an incorrect report.
Meanwhile, Reeves mentioned in an interview given to Esquire that he was not keen on having kids. The actor told it was too late to have a baby as he was over 52-year-old. He added that he was not going to have any children.
It was unbelievable that even after a year later, some publications still came up with reports on the same claim. However, they now publish stories involving Alexandra Grant, Keanu Reeves’ current girlfriend.
Last month, another publication mentioned that Reeves and Grant were contemplating for an adoption. However, this time the report did not mention Bullock.
Another tabloid alleged that the couple was planning to get married, as well as, wanted to adopt a baby. Both these claims emerged as ridiculous.
There was another funny report last January that Reeves was coming between Bryan Randall and the Speed actress. An anonymous insider told the publication that Randall was upset with the close bond Reeves and Bullock share.
It seems he even gave an ultimatum to the actress. However, a representative of the actress confirmed that the story was incorrect.
A recent report even contended that Reeves would be the best man at the wedding of Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix. Another so-called source told this outlet that Reeves and Phoenix have a lot of respect for one another.
The latter wanted to pay a tribute to River, his late brother by requesting the Matrix star to be the best man at their wedding. However, this story also emerged as a fabricated one.
As of date, there is no concrete piece of evidence to prove that Keanu Reeves wanted to be a father last year.
