Keanu Reeves has been the people’s actor ever since he grabbed the box-office by its horns in the Wachowskis-directed 1999 sci-fi action film The Matrix. The actor has always been someone on to fly under the radar, shying away from the publicity and fame that was brought by his success and achievements. But recently he made headlines when he stepped out of his otherwise low media appearance strategy and walked in the 2022 Museum of Contemporary Art Gala held at the Geffen Contemporary in Los Angeles. However, it was not his arrival alone that made fans go wild on social media. Keanu Reeves walked hand-in-hand with girlfriend and artist Alexandra Grant as they appeared truly in love, making fans scream “wedding bells”.

Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant’s Relationship
The Matrix Resurrections actor went public with his relationship back in November 2019. Although very few knew about Alexandra Grant, she was already a highly accomplished artist who had also worked on multiple projects with Reeves by then. The pair collaborated together on Reeves’ 2011 book Ode to Happiness and again in 2016 on Shadows which was written by Reeves and aided by Grant’s illustrations.
The couple appeared on their first red carpet together at the 2019 LACMA Art+Film Gala in Los Angeles which was being presented by Gucci. The artist spoke after going public with the relationship, “I think every single person I knew called me in the first week of November, and that’s fascinating.”
In a December episode on The Drew Barrymore Show, Reeves in his signature unapologetic way talked about love — “If you’re a lover, you gotta be a fighter. Because if you don’t fight for your love, what kind of love do you have?”

When asked about marriage, Alexandra Grant cleverly replied, “Over a glass of wine, I would love to tell you. Love at every level is deeply important to my identity. How’s that for dodging the question? I do not believe that isolation is the way. There is a period of isolation that I do as a painter, but I deeply value the experience of being in relationships.”
