Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron: Official?

Weeks after the news broke that Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron might be dating, new interviews with friends are confirming that they are a "great couple." But is this real or just more tabloid hype?

Said a reported friend int he Enquirer, "Charlize and Keanu make a great couple, and everyone is thrilled at the turn of events. Keanu kept Charlize's spirits high with his goofy sense of humor and low-key, easy-to-love manner. He makes her laugh, which was just what the doctor ordered for her broken heart."

Theron and Reeves were seen in an intimate embrace outside a Beverly Hills Restaurant about a month ago, and set off a tabloid frenzy with speculation that they might be together romantically.

KEANU Reeves and Charlize Theron make the "perfect couple" -- sources say. The South African actress turned to the actor -- her costar in the 1997 film Devil's Advocate -- following her recent split from longtime beau Stuart Townsend. And although Theron is still said to be pining for her former flame, insiders believe Charlize and Keanu are already more than just good pals. A fellow diner at upscale eatery Bouchon revealed Theron, 34, and Reeves, 45, were enjoying each other's company and seemed in no hurry to end their date, tasting several red wines before selecting a bottle and indulging in several snacks before starting their meal.
