Keanu Reeves Proved He Is Not Father of 4 Kids with DNA Test – Their Mother Still Doubted Its Result
A woman accused actor Keanu Reeves of being the father of her four adult children and demanded $3 million a month in spousal support. Meanwhile, Reeves claimed never to have even met the woman.
Being a known celebrity in the entertainment industry means dealing with all kinds of fans, including out-of-control ones. While some stars are accustomed to such instances, Keanu Reeves was surprised to find himself caught in the middle of a legal claim with a fan.
Reeves was one day taken aback after a random woman, Karen Sala, alleged that he was the father of her four grown children. The accusation escalated to court and had the “John Wick” actor appearing for trial.
SALA MAKES HER ACCUSATIONS
In 2020, Sala claimed that Reeves was her kids’ biological father, then aged 21, 22, 23, and 25. She sought a whopping $3 million a month in spousal support, retroactive to 2006, and asked for $150,000 a month in child support since 1988. She said:
“I do know for a fact that he is the biological father.”
According to the woman, who was previously married, she and Reeves had an intimate relationship during the course of her marriage, which continued after it ended. She claimed to have lived together for some time and that he witnessed the birth of some of her children.

Sala alleged to have had proof of their relationship but refused to show it to the court. Further, she claimed that they grew up together in the same town, Barrie, when in truth, Reeves lived 100 kilometers away in Toronto before he left for Hollywood in 1986.
In her testimony, Sala had known the “Matrix” star since she was four or five years old but did not reconnect until years later. She claimed he went by different names. She added:
“I didn’t know he was Keanu Reeves. To me, he was Marty Spenser.”

REEVES REACTS TO THE ALLEGATIONS
On the other hand, Reeves said that the craziest thing a fan did to him was “accuse me of being a father.” He added, “I had to go to court. It was horrible. I didn’t do it. I’m not the dad.” Reeves claims to have never met the woman.
He was also diagnosed with dyslexia and struggled to learn, and at the age of 17, he dropped out of high school.
His representative also found Sala’s allegations “completely false and absurd,” especially as she suggested that the “Speed” actor used hypnosis...
