It seems like it would be a match made in heaven if Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves, two A-list stars in Hollywood whom everyone loves, got together. They’ve talked about their strong bond over the years, so why hasn’t it turned into a full-blown romance at some point during their careers?
Well, In Touch sources seem to know the reason why, and it makes complete sense when you look at their romantic history over the years. It all comes down to “timing.” The insider divulged the secrets behind their flirtatious friendship, “There have been a lot of rumors over the years, and the truth is, they’ve admitted to giving it some thought. There’s a strong attraction there and a deep connection between them, but the timing has never been quite right.” The 59-year-old actor is in a loving relationship with artist Alexandra Grant, and the Oscar winner is still mourning the death of longtime partner Bryan Randall, who died from ALS in 2023.
The Lake House stars have both been “respectful” of each other’s relationships over the years, and they would never cross that line. “Sandra respects [his] relationship [with Grant], of course,” the source added. “His decency is one of the things that make him so attractive.” Reeves also reportedly stepped up for Bullock after the death of Randall. “Keanu was there for Sandra,” they said. “He’s an amazing listener and shoulder to cry on.”
The dynamic duo got fans all riled up recently when Bullock and Reeves made a rare appearance together for the 30th anniversary of Speed on the 50 MPH podcast. She spoke about their “electric” connection over the years. “We liked hanging out. We just liked each other,” she gushed. “I felt very comfortable with Keanu. You just go, ‘OK, there’s my partner.’”
The pair hope to work again in the future which Reeves described as “a siren call.” He summed up, “It does feel like there is a siren call to it like there’s something that wasn’t done. I would love to work with you again before our eyes close.” We hope that the next film with them comes sooner versus later.
