Insiders recently told OK Magazine that Reeves has been helping her throughout it all these past seven months. The insider said, “Keanu has been a lifesaver. He’s not only been a shoulder to cry on but has also been there to lift her spirits, make her laugh and see a brighter future ahead.”
InTouch Weekly first talked about their friendship amid Bullock’s grief. Insiders told the outlet in March 2024 that Reeves is also trying to help her look into loving someone again. “Keanu’s trying to get her to go out with the guy, just as friends, hoping something could build from it. Bryan left some big shoes to fill, though,” they said.
Along with this, OK also talked about how both Bullock and Reeves have lost partners unexpectedly, so Reeves knows better than most on how to help Bullock navigate this grief.
For those who don’t know, Bullock and Randall were together from 2015 until his death in 2023. As for Reeves, while he’s happily been in a relationship with Alexandra Grant for a long time now, he was with a woman named Jennifer Syme, whom he dated from 1998 until her unexpected death in 2000. They had a child named Ava Archer Syme-Reeves, who tragically was stillborn.
We’re happy to know that Bullock has such a wonderful friend in her corner to navigate this, and we hope everyone is dealing with the grieving process as best as they can.
