“Find someone who looks at you like Keanu Reeves…”, we might want to exhale in view of the outpourings of affection between the hero of The
Matrix
and the visual artist Alexandra Grant, his partner of five years. During their last appearance in public, this Saturday, April 13 at the 10th Breakthrough Prize ceremony in Los Angeles, the two lovebirds seemed more in love than ever. After walking the red carpet, the couple indulged in a kiss in front of the photographers, before sitting down at the table to attend the event which rewards major scientific advances. And once again, the complicity between the two lovers was undeniable.
Keanu Reeves created a surprise on November 2, 2019, by appearing with Alexandra Grant on the red carpet of the LACMA ceremony (art gala in Los Angeles). This was a great first since, in more than thirty years of career, the Canadian-American actor had never made one of his relationships official with the general public. But with this visual artist that he has known since at least 2011 (Keanu Reeves had chosen her to be the illustrator of his book on happiness,
Ode to Happiness
released in 2011), it is different.
“Are you really dating Keanu Reeves?”
However, initially, what everyone remembers the day after this first official appearance is that Alexandra Grant does not look like the women we are used to seeing on the arm of Hollywood actors... She has white hair. By all accounts, Keanu Reeves is great because, for once, an actor is dating a woman his age. When in fact, she is 47 years old, 8 years younger than him... Alexandra Grant later confided to
Vogue
magazine that her entire telephone directory called her the next day, telling her: “Wait, are you really dating Keanu Reeves?!?”
Since then, the couple has regularly appeared in public: hand in hand on 5th Avenue in New York, bursting out laughing on the red carpet of a gala in Los Angeles in 2022, and even kiss in front of photographers at the same gala a year later. In a rare interview with
People
magazine in early 2023, and when the journalist asks him to talk about his last moment of happiness, Keanu Reeves responds: “It was a few days ago with my darling, we were in bed, we was connected. We smiled, we laughed, we giggled. We felt wonderful.”
