NEW YORK - Keanu Reeves says he's lonely and wants to get married and have children, in an upcoming issue of Parade magazine. The 41-year-old actor says he continues to mourn the loss of his stillborn daughter in 1999 and the death of the baby's mother, Jennifer Syme, in a car crash in 2001.
Syme had a small part in the 1997 David Lynch film, "Lost Highway." She and Reeves had reportedly broken up in 2000.
"When the people you love are gone, you're alone," he tells the magazine. "I miss being a part of their lives and them being a part of mine. I wonder what the present would be like if they were here — what we might have done together. I miss all the great things that will never be."
He adds: "It's not fair! It's absurd."
"I'm trying not to be alone so much," Reeves says. "And man, it's a struggle. I want to get married. I want to have kids. That's at the top of the mountain. I've got to climb the mountain first. I'll do it. Just give me some time."
But Reeves, who stars with Sandra Bullock in "The Lake House," which opens June 16, and the animated thriller "A Scanner Darkly," set for release next month, says he's reached a "turning point" in his personal life.
"I think, after loss, life requires an act of reclaiming," he says. "You have to reject being overwhelmed. Life has to go on."
He has bought his first home, a step in a new "makeover" to establish roots in one location. In childhood, he watched his mother, Patricia, move the family many times and adopted that way of life.
"I've had a vagabond life," he says. "There is a bit of the gypsy in me, and living that way seemed to make sense. I couldn't settle down. ... Then I turned 40. That birthday is hard, perhaps because you know you're grown-up."
Reeves also starred in "The Matrix" movies.

Avoid strippers around Duke University!
ROTFL!
Oh goody. We better get that gay marriage bill passed ASAP.
I volunteer! Pick me, pick me! :)
LOL!
Forget marriage. When is Keanu going to make a third Bill and Ted's Adventure?
Norm, you are a good Freeper I am sure. But what possible connection with the reason Freepers come here does this celebrity pr release have with FR?
--Ever since seeing 'Brokeback Mountain.'
Getting married's easy...a quick trip to Massachusetts.Having a baby might involve a turkey baster,however.
I'd marry his silly ass so fast his head would spin. I don't know why but I would. There's something about him that just makes my IQ drop to near zero.
If you posted threads as much as I did, you'd need a break now and then too. ;-)
Besides, it isn't in Breaking News or even News/Activism.
It's in General Interest/CHAT!!!
Uhh,, also, FReepers need a break too, well some do anyway.
Who forced you to click on the thread?
Celebrity news are always welcome here. Takes a break from the news every now and then.
I was thinking the same thing... :\
Who's going to be the lucky guy.
LOL
Nobody "forced" me to click on the thread EEE, but I do have a right as a FReeper to add my opinion as to this post. And since this is a politcal forum, not a celebrity one, my point is certainly a valid one. You are free to disagree, but it would make more sense to take this to celebrity gossip. Freedom to speak means freedom to disagree, and we do.
Norm posted this in Music/Entertainment and Tv/Music.
You saw the title of thread--if it didn't interest you , you shouldn't have bothered to click on it or post on it.
"Lighten up Francis."
Hold on there Motley Girl: It showed up in General, and since I do not select it under Music/Entertainment, where it does belong, you are off base in your retort. Again, facts first, conclusions later. Keep celeb gossip where it belongs. That is what posting Freepers owe fellow Freepers.
It appears there's a new Anal-Retentive Chef in town!
