Keanu Reeves agrees to take DNA test to prove that he is not the father of Karen Sala's 4 children. Karen Sala, a 46-year-old Canadian woman, filed a lawsuit in May demanding $150,000 a month in child support retroactive from 1988 and $3 million a month in spousal support, also retroactive.

"This is not about revenge or an attack on his good character," she said outside the courthouse on Monday. "It's about closure and getting some peace. This is a personal journey."

Karen Sala's 4 children are in their mid-20s.

Keanu Reeves, 45, denied having any relationship with her, and he is seeking a court dismissal. Reeves' publicist Cheryl Maisel insisted Sala is a complete complete stranger to Reeves.

okay.... why in the hell did she wait until the kids was adults? i think that she played a major part in this as well it did not take 22-25 years to find him and order the courts to a DNA. i really think that she wants money because of how much she is asking for. okay if he wasnt famous and didnt have money how much would she really be asking for? this a quick come up for her!!

I happen to know Karen Sala, I went to school with her, and I do not remember her talking about Keanu Reeves at all. You would think that if you had a relationship with him at any point you wouldn't mention it!!!! But she never did. She was a little bit of a wack job while I was going to school with her. However, all personal encounters aside, I find it kind of funny that she bring it up now. It is possible at any point to start a court action, even if you cannot come into contact with the other person, it all depends on their last known address, which is usually public knowledge, or is atleast something that you can find out. To be the devil's advocate, what if she did in fact have a relationship with him and he is the father??? I would hate to be him!!. He would definitly have a long road ahead of him!!
