Here’s a heartwarming story for you. After reuniting with his legendary Speed co-star Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves is stepping up to help his longtime friend find love again, according to exclusive sources speaking with Closer. If you’re like me, you’re probably thinking, "Wow, Keanu is truly the good guy we all thought he was." Let me tell you, it’s even better than that.
“Keanu absolutely adores Sandra, and so does his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant,” one source explained. “They genuinely love spending time with her. She’s not just a friend; she’s family.”
But let’s be real here. Things have been tough for Sandra, who turned 60 earlier this year. Her partner of eight years, Bryan Randall, tragically passed away on August 5, 2023, at the age of 57 due to complications from ALS. Since then, Sandra has been dealing with her grief, and Keanu has been right by her side. “Keanu knows firsthand how tough the grieving process can be,” the source revealed. “He’s been there, and he’s not about to rush Sandra into anything new. But if and when she’s ready, he’s got a list of top-notch men he’d love to set her up with.”

Sandra and Keanu: A Bond Forged Through Tragedy
Let’s take a moment to remember Keanu’s own journey through heartbreak. Back in the late '90s, he was dating Jennifer Syme, and they welcomed their daughter on Christmas Eve in 1999. Tragically, the baby was stillborn. Then, just two years later, Jennifer passed away in a car accident at the young age of 28. Keanu has always been open about the pain of loss, but what’s remarkable is how he’s used his experience to support others going through similar struggles.
“Keanu is more social than people realize,” the insider added. “Thanks to his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, he’s connected with a lot of amazing people in the arts world. He’s also got his racing buddies and, of course, all his Hollywood connections. His network is vast, and he’s proud of it. He’s not just about making connections for himself—he wants to help people he cares about, like Sandra.”
Why Keanu Is the Perfect Cupid for Sandra
When it comes to setting someone up, Keanu doesn’t mess around. “He’s incredibly protective of Sandra,” the source explained. “He wants to see her happy again, and he’s willing to play matchmaker when she’s ready. He knows quality people, and he’s not about to introduce her to just anyone. If anyone can find Sandra the right person, it’s Keanu.”
But it’s not just about romance. Keanu and Sandra are also eager to collaborate on new projects together. “They’re considering a few possibilities right now,” the source revealed. “If things work out the way they’re hoping, they’ll be spending a lot of time together in the near future.”
Earlier this month, Keanu and Sandra reunited with Speed director Jan de Bont at Beyond Fest at the American Cinematheque at Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles. They even participated in a Q&A session to discuss the making of the iconic 1994 film and its lasting legacy. This marked Sandra’s first public appearance since Bryan’s passing, and it was clear that Keanu was there to support her every step of the way.
Sandra’s Journey Forward
This year, Sandra celebrated her 60th birthday, her first since losing Bryan. “It’s been a bittersweet time,” an insider shared. “Sandra plans to keep things low-key with her kids, Louis and Laila. She wants to show them that it’s okay to grieve, but it’s also important to move forward and find joy again.”

Since Bryan’s passing, Sandra has taken a step back from the spotlight, leaning on close friends like Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Aniston to help her navigate her grief. “Sandra decided to take this hiatus for Bryan, for herself, and for her kids,” the insider explained. “She’s slowly trying to do more, and she wants to be a strong example for them.”
