Keanu has always keep his personal life very private.

The A list movie star has been linked to Amanda De Cadenet, Sandra Bullock and Claire Forlani but it’s not known how serious he was with them.

In the 80s he dated Jill Schoelen.

For much of the 90s he was with Jennifer Syme, an actress who worked with David Lynch.
