The romance of Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Syme developed so rapidly and happily that there was no doubt that they could really make the perfect Hollywood couple and be an example of family integrity and loyalty. But the tragic coincidence of circumstances did not leave them a chance for a long life together.

Successful acquaintance

Jennifer Syme worked as an assistant to director David Lynch, thanks to whom she got her first cameo roles in films. Her life from the age of 18 was associated with cinema, but at the same time she was very different from Hollywood beauties. She was modest and shy, did not try to flirt and arrange her life close to someone else's success. She tried to achieve everything on her own, not really counting on the help of men. Perhaps that is why Mr. Perfection of Hollywood, Keanu Reeves, drew attention to her.

After filming the movie "Lost Highway", where Jennifer starred in a cameo role, she began to attend acting parties. Passions boiled there, interesting projects were born and fateful meetings took place. At one of the parties, the girl met Karen Reeves, Keanu's sister, they became friends. Naturally, Jennifer soon had the opportunity to meet the brilliant actor himself.

And a modest unknown girl almost immediately managed to win the heart of a star. At the same time, she herself did absolutely nothing for this: she simply remained herself. She didn't try to seduce Keanu, didn't peep at him. But she was so natural, spontaneous and modest that the actor himself began to court the shy woman with pleasure.

Waiting for happiness

Their romance developed rapidly. The lovers began to live together, looked extremely happy, and then announced that they were expecting a child. They both already saw themselves as happy parents of a tiny princess whom they wanted to name Ava Archer. Keanu was already arranging a room for his daughter, together they bought adorable children's things and dreamed of seeing his daughter as soon as possible, taking her in his arms.

However, they were never destined to see the girl. A month before giving birth, it turned out that the baby had died without being born due to a blood clot in the umbilical cord.

Jennifer was crushed and had a long treatment ahead of her. And Keanu Reeves in a hurry attached children's things to those in need, so that when Jennifer returned home, nothing would remind her beloved of the tragedy.

On the shards of a dream

However, neither Keanu nor Jennifer were able to recover from the tragedy. Closing each in themselves, they practically stopped communicating and pretty soon decided to leave. It was impossible to be next to each other, to look each other in the eyes after the tragedy. Keanu Reeves after parting completely went into work. But to all questions from journalists about his relationship with Syme, he reservedly replied that they remained friends.

Jennifer's loss and separation were much more difficult. She had no job and had nowhere to escape from her bitter thoughts and loneliness.

She tried to cope with pain through meeting new people, participating in noisy parties and drinking alcohol. She hardly felt any relief, but at least she was not alone. Having settled in a recording studio, she discovered a musical environment with reckless parties and free morals.

And every time say goodbye forever …

On April 1, 2001, Jennifer was at a party hosted by the shocking Marilyn Manson. After midnight, the girl got behind the wheel of her jeep, having had a fair amount of drink before that. Either she was in a hurry, or she simply did not think about her life, but she did not fasten her seat belt. In the morning she was found dead near a crumpled jeep.

Keanu Reeves experienced another tragedy almost completely alone. He did not give any interviews, did not wring his hands theatrically. She simply buried her beloved next to the unborn Ava Archer.

He still does not comment on this tragedy in any way. If journalists try to ask him a question about Jennifer Syme, Keanu Reeves simply stops the interview. Only once did he break his vow of silence on this topic, saying that he really misses the times when they were together and were so happy.

Public people experience the tragedy hard also because their personal pain is condemned, paraded, serves as an object of interest to the crowd. This happened in the life of the one who lost her spouse.
