The habitually single Matrix actor broke with tradition and grinned for the cameras on Sunday – and the difference was the date on his arm. The scruffy 46-year-old even waved as he led the mystery brunette from a meal at swanky Mayfair joint Nobu Berkeley St.
His date looked set for a breezy ride home as the actor was seen leading her away carrying his bike helmet.
The outing marks a change in fortune for Reeves, who has never married. His life was derailed ten years ago when his girlfriend, Jennifer Syme, died in a car crash. Before that, the couple battled heartache when their daughter Ava Archer was stillborn. In 2009, a paternity test cleared Reeves after a Canadian woman claimed he had fathered her four children, all in their twenties.
Last year there was hope that the screen heartthrob was set to move on after he was spotted with South African beauty Charlize Theron. The pair cowered from the camera flashes and appeared to be caught out by the chance run-in.
Their shy cuddle came shortly after the blonde broke up with long-term partner Stuart Townsend. The two stars have known each other for years after starring in The Devil’s Advocate in 1997 before teaming up for 2001’s Sweet November.
For now, Reeves will certainly be able to treat his new companion to many more meals in our capital as he is working here at the moment.
He is often seen around town, sometimes carrying scripts.
