Reeves is a Buddhist. He holds Canadian citizenship by naturalization. Since April 30, 2003, he has been entitled to British citizenship by having an English-born mother. Reeves grew up as a Canadian and identifies as such. To date, he has never married. In December 1999, Reeves' girlfriend Jennifer Syme gave birth to a stillborn daughter who was named Ava Archer Syme-Reeves.
Reeves was sued unsuccessfully in 2008 in Los Angeles Superior Court for $711,974 by paparazzo Alison Silva for allegedly hitting and injuring him with his Porsche after visiting a relative at a Los Angeles medical facility. The paparazzo's lawsuit took a year and a half to make it to trial, during which time Silva continued to attack Reeves and demand payment. At the trial, all 12 jurors rejected the suit needing only an hour of deliberation to reach their verdict. With the lawsuit rejected, Reeves was cleared of all the charges.
Reeves has played bass guitar in the grunge band Dogstar during the 1990s. In the 2000s, he has performed with the band Becky.
