I was just perusing CNN.com
It appears that it is newsworthy that Keanu Reeves has a girlfriend that is his age.

1. I believe the rule is that anything Keanu does is newsworthy...I can't even count the number of random Keanu stories I've seen in the news lately.
2. I think any famous male over the age of 40 getting a girlfriend his own age is probably sufficiently rare that it's celebrity news.
3. CNN is hardly a good measure of what is newsworthy, particularly the website, they've got to churn clicks just like every other "news" site.

I don’t even follow CNN but this was news a few days ago! I figured the world could start spinning on it’s axis again! I sleep so much better now also

Ok, I just went and found the story, and we're calling 9 years younger "his age"? I feel like maybe it's more of a story specifically because she LOOKS a lot older than her age (imo, at least in the photos I saw of them which seems to have sparked the story).
I honestly thought she looked 20 years older than her real age of 46.

10 year ago difference is the range for normal people. According to my sister, who married her first boyfriend who is the same age as her. 😜

Actually, I thought this was incredibly newsworthy and exciting! Keanu Reeves, though a major movie star, has not had an easy life and, from every story I have ever read about him, seems to be a genuinely super nice and generous person. I think he really deserves love and connection, and I hope he has found it!

From what I've read it's newsworthy as he hasn't walked a red carpet with a gf before.

Keanu Reeves hasn't been newsworthy since the 90s. I'm not sure if you mean because he doesn't do anything that has him making the news for the wrong reasons or if it's because you're saying he isn't getting roles. His top 15 flicks some of which are from the 90's have grossed over 4B. Everything I've ever read about the guy is that he's nothing short of a stand up guy who despite his fame seems extremely grounded.

His guest role on that Netflix movie is raved about. He was in Toy Story 4. Oh, and they're making another Matrix movie as well as Bill & Ted. He's definitely getting roles. It seems like he needed to get away, but I'm glad he's back. He's a celeb we need - kung fu and all

I think he really deserves love and connection, and I hope he has found it! This is going to make it all the more disappointing for people when the inevitable story comes out that he eats babies. Despite me not necessarily thinking anything celebrity-related really classifies as "newsworthy", it certainly is nice to not constantly hear bad things about them. He has essentially gained a ton of notoriety in the last year or two for simply being a genuinely good person as it seems.

Yeah the John Wick franchise has done well. I haven't seen the third one yet but will at some point as they're entertaining popcorn flicks. The guys just a trip because I think it would surprise people less if he was a throw it in your face Hollywood ahole instead of the quiet laid back guy he is. He gave away $80M in Matrix earnings to the special effects and make up crew. He still came out alright but it wasn't something he talked about or that was in the press when it happened and he did it because he wanted to.

To lazy to google but if memory serves me he dropped out of picture making when his sister or some family member he was close to was diagnosed with cancer and he chose to care for them. It was a lengthy illness and I think they passed away. Remember something about him being depressed and laid low for some time. But my old brain may have him confused with another celebrity. If so, never mind. But given fact that it’s headline news when a Kardashin farts I guess this qualifies or not?

Might be something you'd be interested in reading: uproxx.com/movies/did-keanu-reeves-really-give-away-80-million-dollars/It essentially says his backend deal simply went back into the franchise films so that they could keep the special effects & make up crew going. Like he essentially just funded the special effects and make up crew budget of the future movies...which isn't really close to giving the money away to them. He simply funded something that given the success of the movies was probably always going to be funded...at least that's what the story says happened to the money.

I honestly thought she looked 20 years older than her real age of 46. I did, too. I'm rocking some pretty grey hair at 44, but most people still don't make me quite that old.
I think her eyes look old. My prof is a year younger than me. Her eyes make her look older than me.

I'm 47, and only have tiny wrinkles starting to appear. Weird how my cursed oily skin has helped me to age better. My hair, on the other hand, I color because I don't want to look like an old Gramma.

I've been going grey since I was 20 and it's at the point now where I need to touch up the roots every three weeks .

All the color has been hard on my hair. I recently switched to semipermanent, to see if that might keep it healthier

I agree, the other photos of her are much better and I think her make-up didn't help her in the CNN photo either.

Love John Wick... but Destination Wedding, if you haven’t watched it yet, just do... some of the best writing. Seriously with the exception of a maid yelling in to one scene the entire movie is Winona Rider and Keanu talking to one another and doing a series of destination wedding event activities. So freaking good.

I really liked the John Wick movies, but I should have watched the first two over before watching the third one last week because I was a little lost. I'm horrible when it comes to remembering movies.

I don't know. He's done quite a few movies in the past 5 years including all three of the John Wick ones which were big hits and is going to do a 4th. I think they were just as big of box office hits as the Matrix films. I thought, "The Whole Truth" was really good too.

Past 5 years, 3 John Wick movies which have been huge, Toy Story 4, and he's now doing another Bill & Ted, a 4th John Wick, a 4th Matrix.
He was also in Bad Batch (a cult hit).
4 hit movies in 5 years seems like a pretty good run.

And he's done more. Have I mentioned Destination Wedding? Plus Replicas got panned but its not horrible. And he played 'himself' with wonderful humility in Always Be My Maybe... and Netflix rom com that was middling but he was a highlight. I haven't watched Swedish Dicks yet... ? But he certainly has been actively working. There has to be a 4th John Wick...
