Is Dustin Tyler Keanu Reeves’ Son and Does He Have Other Kids?

The truth of Dustin Tyler’s paternity has long come to light and has left a lot of the actor’s fans rather crestfallen at the truth of what we thought will be a truly monumental story. It all started when fans of actor Keanu Reeves took notice of his striking resemblance to a young TikToker who was making outrageous claims about the actor being his biological father. These claims turned out to be one huge joke.

Usually, surnames are the first inkling we have about celebrity familial ties, but that was not the case here because even though Dustin’s surname is Tyler, he is the spitting image of Keanu Reeves which led to questions about whether they are father and son. After all the diggings, we discovered that the two are not related in any way. Hence their resemblance is just a coincidence because The actor Keanu Reeves does not have kids.

Interestingly, Dustin Tyler will not be the first person to ride the fine lines of fame walking on a coincidence that somehow tied them to a more famous person. In some of those cases though, the more famous people often come out to debunk the news and clear the air rather than let the other party run rampant and profit from these claims like Keanu Reeves has done.

Who is Dustin Tyler?

Dustin Tyler was a well-known TikTok personality who also makes a living as a skilled barber, tattoo artist, and model. He was born on the 13th day of October 1995 which would make him 29 years old and still within the right age limit to pass as Keanu Reeves’ son if truly they were father and son. He may not be as famous as Reeves is, but Tyler sure is doing well for himself.

During his early childhood, he spent more time with his mother who was estranged from his biological father so that her second husband filled the role of his father. During this time, he got involved with doing and dealing drugs to the point that it nearly set him off on a terrible path until he made the tough decision to clean up and get on the right path. As part of his rehabilitation method, he spent some burning out the urge to indulge at the gym. This helped his physique a great deal and also helped him complete his studies.

This change of tack was everything he needed to turn his life around, start making good choices, and have good opportunities come to him. For instance, after many months of buffing up his physical appearance, he caught the attention of clothing brands that offered him giggs as a model. This eventually led him to Instagram where his fame skyrocketed.
