Nearly 3 years ago, LA Mag reported on observing the then friends for the interview:

Reeves hasn't been officially romantically linked to anyone since Jennifer Syme, the couple's daughter Ava was stillborn in December of 1999, and shortly after they separated before Syme lost her life in a car accident.
Discussing his grief with Dr. Esther Perel, a renowned couples therapist, she states:
"Grief is a complex emotion that can reshape our identity. It's important to acknowledge that the absence of a loved one creates a void that can never truly be filled. Instead, we learn to carry their memory with us, allowing it to coexist with our own lives.""The journey through grief is not linear; it requires patience and self-compassion. Each person's experience is unique, and it's essential to honor that individuality," she adds."Ultimately, love and loss are intertwined, and through the pain, we can find deeper appreciation for the moments we had," Perel concludes.
