KEANU REEVES NOT THE DADDY


By Liz Hodgson - Posted on 16 October 2009

Actor Keanu Reeves is not the father of any of a Canadian woman's children, a DNA test has proved.
But Karen Sala, who sued the Speed and The Matrix star for child and spousal support, claiming he was the father of at least one of her four adult children, has vowed to fight on.
“Ms Sala is challenging the validity of the DNA testing so the case goes on,” Reeves' lawyer, Lorne Wolfson, told E! News.
“If she wants to challenge it, let her go right ahead. But we are confident that the DNA testing was done properly and that the results are sound.”
Sala claims she has know Reeves, 45, since she was nine and had a sexual relationship with him before, during and after her marriage.
Her suit, filed in Toronto, asked for C$3 million a month spousal support, back-dated to November 2006 and C$150,000 a month in child support, retroactive to June 1998.
Reeves was brought up in Toronto but insists he has never even met Sala.
Wolfson added: “He was confident the tests would prove he was not the father. He never had any doubt.”
Reeves, whose last film was The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, written and directed by Daniel Day Lewis' wife Rebecca Miller, will next star with Catherine Zeta Jones, in Stompanato,about the relationship between screen star Lana Turner and her lover, gangster Johnny Stompanato, who was stabbed to death by her 14-year-old daughter, Cheryl Crane, in 1958
