"Love to the grave" - now this statement seems a little naive, and with the growth of temptations and very impracticable. Meanwhile, there are still those who are ready to be faithful partners even after their death. Today we will talk about the stars who have lost loved ones. The bitterness of the loss was so great that they did not succeed in falling in love again and creating a new family.

Keanu Reeves

The story of tragic love, after which the American actor Keanu Reeves did not dare to start a family, began in 1998. Sister Keanu invited him to a party, where he met her friend, aspiring actress Jennifer Syme. The girl was so charming that the actor fell in love with her literally at first sight. And she was not against dating. Soon the couple was already together and made grandiose plans for the future. Jennifer got pregnant with the desired child. However, literally a few days before the birth, the irreparable happened - the baby (her parents had already come up with the name Ava Archer) died without ever seeing the light of day. The doctor explained that it is very rare, but it happens - a blood clot has come off from the umbilical cord. Jennifer took the blow of fate very hard. She became addicted to alcohol, and one day in 2001, she got behind the wheel drunk and had an accident.

After that, Keanu Reeves was alone for a long time. The paparazzi even filmed the actor eating a sandwich on his birthday, sitting alone on a bench in New York's Central Park. His snapshot flew around the Internet and became a meme "sad Keanu", and his fans even decided to institute a Cheer Day for their idol. Only recently, in 2020, he began to be noticed in the company with a longtime friend of the artist Alexandra Grant. Soon, in an interview with the famous tabloid, the girl confirmed that they were connected not only by friendly relations. But there is no talk of an imminent wedding yet.

Liam Neeson

Liam met his woman in 2009. Actress Natasha Richardson was 11 years younger than him, and moreover, she was legally married to Robert Fox. However, the man in love was literally ready for anything to achieve reciprocity. Only a year later Natasha gave up. She divorced her husband to marry Neeson. For 15 years of a happy marriage, the couple had two children. In 2009, the family went on vacation - everyone was very fond of skiing. On this day, the actress appeared on the track without a helmet, and, as luck would have it, hit her head when falling.

As it seemed then, a minor injury could not cause any consequences. However, soon Natasha felt headaches, and a little later fell into a coma in a hospital in Montreal. Doctors agreed that this is intracerebral bleeding, and a woman will never get out of this state. Liam Neeson had to decide on two difficult steps: to sign an agreement to refuse resuscitation and to use his wife's organs for transplantation. This loss was grieved not only by the actor himself, but also by his two sons. It was for them that he was able to overcome the addiction to alcohol and pull himself together.

Dmitry Ladygin

Actor Dmitry Ladygin fell in love with our viewers for his roles in the TV series "Foundry", "Gangster Petersburg" and "Cop wars". And in ordinary life, he was the wonderful husband of the actress Valeria Kiseleva and the stepfather of the famous TV presenter Ivan Urgant. And Dmitry and Valeria met when they were students. Both studied at a theater university, but due to the age difference in different courses. Valeria, who was older, did not notice the young man, and soon she had an affair with Andrei Urgant, the son of the popular Soviet actress Nina Urgant. The lovers quickly began to live together, and soon their son Ivan was born. But a year later, the couple scattered, and Valeria was left alone with a small child.

Dmitry Ladygin decided to have a frank conversation, and this time his persistence was appreciated. Valeria married him and gave birth to two girls. As a result, the couple lived a long life together - more than 30 years together. In 2015, Valeria Kiseleva died prematurely, leaving Dmitry as a widower at the age of 59. Despite her old age, Ladygin does not want to remarry. As he tells reporters, Valeria is still loved and will forever remain the only wife. The actor found consolation in creativity and children. He continues to play in the theater and often communicates with his grandchildren.

Elem Klimov

Elem Klimov, a Russian director, author of such popular films as "Welcome or No Unauthorized Entry" and "Come and See" also met the girl of his dreams at VGIK. The actress Larisa Shepitko had many admirers, so she simply did not take her loving Elem seriously. Everything changed when the girl became seriously ill. It was Elem who was there and helped in a difficult situation. Subsequently, the young man supported his beloved while working on the painting "Heat". Realizing that the feelings are mutual, the couple decided to sign. Both were engaged in creativity, and Larisa, having starred in several films, decided to take up directing. Her husband helped her with this. But they could not get children in any way. Only at the age of 35, Larisa was able to give birth to a baby. Moreover, despite the ban of doctors - being pregnant, the woman fell and received a head and spine injury. But the birth was successful, and the couple named their son in honor of Anton Chekhov.

Six years later, grief came to the happy family of Elem Klimov. Larisa died in a car accident. The director filmed the film Farewell near Lake Seliger. One day she was driving in a car when the driver managed to fall asleep at the wheel. The car crashed into a passing truck loaded with bricks. Nobody managed to survive in this terrible accident. For the young father, what happened was a shock. But for the sake of his little son, he had to find the strength to live on. He completed his wife's project and then directed the documentary Larisa, dedicated to his wife, actress and director Larisa Shepitko. Elem Klimov still had a long fate - he lived for another 24 years, but he always remembered his wife and never married again.

Andy Acute

Adrienne Shelley was not only an actress (the viewer remembers the films "The Incredible Truth" and "Trust"), but also a talented director. It was she who shot the picture "The Waitress". However, she was never able to see the success of the film - a few months before that, a drama had happened. Her husband Andy Ostroy, entrepreneur, producer and father of her child, found Adrien hanged. The police initially considered the version of suicide, but the former life of the actress and director did not fit in with her.

On closer inspection, evidence was found that led to the real killer. It turned out to be an illegal from Ecuador, whom Shelley found at the time of the robbery. It was difficult for Andy to take the death of his wife. He founded the Adrienne Shelley Foundation, which provides grants to talented actresses and women directors. Andy Ostroy continues to love his wife 15 years later and still considers her the most intelligent, talented, fun and beautiful woman who has ever lived.
