Charlize Theron, known for her private demeanor, surprised fans by openly declaring her love for Keanu Reeves on Instagram in a heartfelt birthday message. The Italian Job actress, 45, celebrated Reeves, who turned 56, with a touching post featuring a photo of the duo cuddling at an awards show.
"I love this handsome human so much! Happy birthday, Keanu. You're just the best!" Theron wrote, expressing her affection for the actor with whom she has collaborated in two films.
Fans enthusiastically responded, expressing their admiration for the on-screen chemistry between Theron and Reeves and advocating for another film collaboration. Suggestions for a reunion in the John Wick or Atomic Blonde universe flooded the comments.
The pair previously starred in the romantic drama Sweet November and the thriller Devil's Advocate, showcasing their versatility as co-stars. However, real-life romance seems unlikely, as Keanu Reeves went public with his relationship with painter Alexandra Grant last year, keeping his private life low-key.
While Charlize Theron is currently single, she is actively balancing her career and raising her two adopted daughters, eight-year-old Jackson and four-year-old August, in Los Angeles. Theron has spoken about the profound impact of her decision to become a mother on the W Magazine Five Things podcast, emphasizing the empowerment she felt in making that choice.
Despite the fans' wishes for a real-life romance between Theron and Reeves, it appears that their connection remains a strong and friendly professional one, with both actors focusing on their respective personal lives and careers.
