While it has been reportedly hard for her to entertain the idea of dating again, especially considering she is on the verge of 60, Reeves is said to have taken this responsibility to his shoulders.

“He has a buddy he thinks she would click with. Keanu’s trying to get her to go out with the guy, just as friends, hoping something could build from it. Bryan left some big shoes to fill, though.”

It might be a long wait before we see the Speed Star re-enter the dating landscape again, as she is yet to overcome the loss of her soulmate.
