Unlike his father Christopher, who is one of the most celebrated actors in Hollywood, Matthew chose to be active behind the scene and works as a screenwriter, director, and producer. His first work was the documentary, Christopher Reeve: Courageous Steps which gained massive accolades from the people.

It was followed by Christopher Reeve: Hope in Motion, and both of these documentaries were directed and produced by Matthew Reeve himself. All of these documentaries followed the life of Reeve's father and stepmother Dana Reeve after Christopher suffered from a severe spinal injury.

In addition to the works mentioned earlier, Reeve has also written, produced, and also directed numerous other documentaries and scripted television series. He has been a part of projects like Over The Water, Shadow Puppets, Better Days Ahead, Agent Hamilton, among many others.

Along with his works in the films and documentaries, Reeve also works in his father's foundation Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. He joined the foundation's Board of Directors in 2006 and has continued to work alongside his siblings to further his father's dream of finding treatment for spinal injuries.

All of his works as a screenwriter and producer has undoubtedly helped him earn a significant amount. He is also reportedly part of a few upcoming projects like The Land That Never Was and Second Strike, which will definitely help increase Matthew Reeve's net worth in the coming years. As for his father, Christopher Reeve's net worth was estimated to be $3 million during the time of his death.

Relationship And Children

While his father lived a highly publicized life due to his stardom, Matthew has managed to stay away from the media. Most of his life has been hidden from the public and looks like he will continue to do so. He currently lives in Stockholm, Sweden, with his partner and has built a family for himself there.

Matthew is in a relationship with Anna Lo Westlin and the couple has been together for eight years. The pair are parents to their daughter, Auden Reeve, and baby boy/son, Sander Reeve. While Reeve has set his Instagram profile on private, his partner's page is a great source for the Reeve family pictures. Well, whether or not Anna is Matthew Reeve's wife or not is still a mystery as there are no news of them being married.

Nevertheless, we wish the family a happy life ahead and hope that Matthew and Anna share more about their family life in the coming days.
