The elder Reeves originally met and married Reeves' British-born mother Patricia in Lebanon. After the split, Patricia moves Keanu and his sister Kim to New York City before settling for good in Toronto. There, she designs theatrical costumes for numerous stars including Dolly Parton, Alice Cooper and David Bowie. Samuel, who sees his son off and on until he is 13, will be sentenced to ten years in prison in Hawaii for cocaine possession in 1994.
In 1983 After attending five high schools in five years, Keanu drops out for good, taking acting lessons and working at a hockey rink in Toronto before piling his things into a 1969 Volvo and moving to L.A. To pursue his acting career. Which now spans over 25 years, as an A list actor.
In 2000 Keanu's girlfriend Jennifer Syme, 29, a production assistant and part-time actress, delivers a stillborn daughter, who they name Ava. The stress ends the relationship several weeks later but the pair remains close friends.
