In the past, Jennifer Aniston had a significant crush on Keanu Reeves; however, he turned his back on her, which has resulted in discomfort ever since. This is especially true considering that Sandra Bullock, who is also their shared best friend, is caught in the middle of the situation, a new report claimed.

“Sandy and Keanu are getting on so well right now and she’s thrilled to see him so madly in love with Alexandra [Grant],” an unnamed source told In Touch Weekly.

Sandra, who is now 60 years old, and Keanu, who is 59 years old, initially met on the set of Speed in the year 1994. They recently got back together for an interview that was broadcast on the "50 MPH" podcast in May. During the course of the discussion, the actor who played John Wick gushed about the sometimes-flirty connection that he shared with his costar.

“We liked hanging out. We just liked each other,” Keanu stated, as per SheKnows. Sandra added that their connection “was so electric. I felt very comfortable with Keanu. You just go, ‘OK, there’s my partner.’”

“There have been a lot of rumors over the years. And the truth is, they’ve admitted to giving it some thought. There’s a strong attraction there and a deep connection between them, but the timing has never been quite right,” another insider told the entertainment news outlet.

It is possible that the opportunity for a romantic relationship between the two has passed, as the actor from "The Matrix" is presently developing a strong relationship with his long-term girlfriend, Alexandra, who is 51 years old and has been with him since 2019. However, Sandra continues to hold her old buddy near to her heart.

“But who knows? Keanu is friends with every woman he’s ever dated. I don’t think there’s anyone who has something horrible to say about him. So maybe we could have survived,” Sandra stated in 2021.

Despite the fact that he is committed to Alexandra, the talented actor Keanu can't help but attract the attention of his co-stars, particularly Jennifer, who is 55 years old. This can occasionally make things challenging for the leading man in terms of his social interactions.

“Everyone knows [Jennifer] threw herself at him years ago when she was single and trying to prove herself after the break-up with Brad. She’s still embarrassed by the way she acted and it’s one of those awkward situations that has lingered ever since, and Sandy isn’t quite sure how to handle it. She loves Keanu and thinks Alexandra is fantastic so in a perfect world she’d have them all over to the house for dinners and maybe even do trips away together,” an undisclosed informant shared.

Sandra, who is sensitive to the boundaries that her friends have set for themselves, must now carefully navigate the unpleasant situation that has arisen between the two celebrities until they are both able to put the past in the past.

“She loves socializing with them and would have them around a lot more if it weren’t such a delicate situation with Jen. Sandy is so loyal to her friends and Jen has been such a huge support to her this year, she would never want to do anything to make her uncomfortable and unfortunately Jen does feel a little foolish about the situation with Keanu. But until this elephant in the room with Jen is resolved, she’s stuck between a rock and a hard place,” the tipster said.
