After Sandra Bullock lost the love of her life, Bryan Randall, to ALS in August 2023, the 60-year-old actress took the time to mourn and take care of her two children, Louis, 15, and Laila, 11. She also huddled around several A-list friends who took care of her heart and offered her support. Jennifer Aniston, Octavia Spencer, and Matthew McConaughey all rallied around her. Still, there was one special former co-star whom she grew closer to after her loss.Report ad
Her Speed co-star, Keanu Reeves, reportedly became a key person in her life after the death of Randall. “Sandra and Keanu got even closer after Bryan’s passing,” a Life & Style source claimed. “They stayed in touch while he was alive, but now they talk more often.” The insider noted that their “special bond” is “even stronger” after such a tragic life event.
As Bullock reentered the spotlight in honor of Speed‘s 30th anniversary this year, the dynamic duo admitted that doing another project together would be on their bucket list. It feels like they are mulling over reviving the franchise for a third round.
I mean, you know — we’d freakin’ knock it out of the park,” Reeves said on the 50 MPH podcast with Bullock in May.
“There’s no formula. It just is,” Bullock said of their onscreen chemistry and then joked. “Before I die, before I leave this planet, I do think that Keanu and I need to do something in front of the camera. Are we, you know, in wheelchairs or with walkers? Maybe. Are we on little scooters at Disneyland?”
Hollywood needs to make this happen because their magic would bring fans so much joy. It also sounds like Bullock has the thumbs up from Reeves’ longtime love Alexandra Grant, who also became close to the Oscar winner. She also reportedly sees Reeves and Grant’s relationship as a source of hope that another romance may be a part of her future. “Bryan was very special, irreplaceable, really,” the Life & Style insider added. “But when Sandra sees how happy Keanu is with Alexandra, it gives her hope that someday, maybe she can also find love again.”
For fans wondering if Reeves and Bullock ever dated, the answer is a resounding no. “There have been a lot of rumors over the years, and the truth is, they’ve admitted to giving it some thought,” an In Touch Weekly source confirmed earlier this year. “There’s a strong attraction there and a deep connection between them, but the timing has never been quite right.” Reeves and Bullock are going to reserve that magic for the big screen — we hope!
