According to a source who spoke exclusively to In contactThe situation has put their mutual friend Sandra Bullock in an awkward position as she maintains her close relationships with both stars.
The source reveals that Aniston, 55, had a crush on Reeves at the time, but her advances were met with a cold shoulder, leading to ongoing tensions ever since. This is especially difficult for Bullock, 60, who has maintained a deep friendship with Reeves, 59, since they first met on the set of. speed in 1994.
“Sandy and Keanu are getting along so well right now and she’s thrilled to see him so crazy about Alexandra (Grant),” the source shared. Reeves has been in a committed relationship with artist Alexandra Grant, 51, since 2019. However, Bullock and Reeves’ close bond has caused some awkwardness, especially given Aniston’s past feelings.
In a recent interview on the “50 MPH” podcast, Reeves talked about his connection with Bullock during the filming of speedand described their relationship as flirtatious at times. “We liked hanging out together. We just liked each other,” Reeves said, and Bullock added, “It was so electric. I felt very comfortable with Keanu. You just say, ‘OK, there’s my partner.'”
Despite rumors and a strong mutual attraction, both Reeves and Bullock have previously admitted that the timing was never quite right for a romance between them. Now that Reeves has committed to Grant, Bullock continues to nurture her friendship with the actor, even if Aniston’s past crush complicates their social interactions.
The source revealed that Aniston’s feelings for Reeves were particularly intense after her split from Brad Pitt. “Everyone knows that (Jennifer) threw herself at him years ago when she was single and trying to prove herself after splitting from Brad,” the insider revealed. “She’s still embarrassed by her behavior, and it’s one of those awkward situations that’s continued ever since.”
Bullock, who values her friendships, is now caught between these tensions. She remains close to Aniston and Reeves, but has to tiptoe around the situation so as not to embarrass anyone. “She loves Keanu and thinks Alexandra is amazing, so in a perfect world she would invite them all to her house for dinner and maybe even go on trips together,” the source said.
Unfortunately, the awkwardness between Aniston and Reeves has made it difficult for Bullock to socialize with them as freely as she would like. “Sandy is so loyal to her friends and Jen has been such a support to her this year. She would never want to do anything to embarrass herself and unfortunately Jen feels a little silly in the situation with Keanu,” the source added.
