Keaton's health has been deteriorating in recent months, but Allen, according to a source, was unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
"He is very shaken, shocked and deeply upset. He started thinking about his own mortality," said a source close to the director.
Woody and Diane began their relationship in 1969 while working on his play "Play It Again, Sam," in which Keaton had the lead role.
Although their love story only lasted a few years, their professional collaboration continued long after.
