Keanu Reeves Has Best Response to Alexandra Grant Marriage Rumors
Keanu Reeves has had some good fortune when it comes to his love life.
So much so that he and girlfriend Alexandra Grant even sparked marriage rumors last month, though she was quick to clarify on social media that the couple hasn't made it down the aisle. Still, the Matrix star admitted the speculation didn’t bother him too much.
“Well, that wasn't the first time,” Keanu quipped in an exclusive interview with E! News Oct. 13 at the New York City premiere of his new movie Good Fortune. “We've been going out for a long time.”
The 61-year-old also praised Alexandra—who he started dating in 2018—for the Instagram post she shared to quell the rumors.
“The wedding, it's a nice thing,” he continued. “People did a lot of nice messages and stuff, but Alexandra just did a wonderful [job] addressing. Like, ‘Thank you, but here's the reality.’”
Indeed, the visual artist had some fun when letting the world know that she and the John Wick actor had not, in fact, gotten married.
“This is a real photo,” Alexandra, 52, wrote on Instagram Sept. 24 alongside a picture of the pair kissing at an art installation. “Not an engagement photo or an AI wedding announcement... simply a kiss!”
She continued, “I'm sharing it here to say thank you to everyone for the congratulations on our wedding. Except we didn’t get married. Good news is much needed these days, but it's still fake news, so be careful out there! So, here's a bit of real happiness!”
While Keanu and Alexandra have not tied the knot, their relationship is as strong as ever. After all, they have shared a recent string of fun-filled date nights, including at the premiere of Good Fortune—out in theaters Oct. 17—as well as the opening night of Jamie Lloyd’s Broadway production of Waiting for Godot Sept. 28, where they stepped out smiling on the red carpet.
And, earlier in the month, Alexandra celebrated his birthday with a heartwarming message.
“Thank you to everyone for sending over sweet wishes for Keanu's birthday yesterday... he was well-celebrated!” she wrote on Instagram Sept. 3 alongside a picture of a heart-shaped cake with his name on it. “To Keanu—who saw this post as a draft!—I am so grateful for your love and partnership.”
Read on to look back at Keanu and Alexandra’s romance over the years.
Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant originally met at a dinner party in 2009, according to New York Times T Magazine. The John Wick star and the artist went on to collaborate on two books together, 2011's Ode to Happiness and the 2016 series Shadows. The pair also co-founded the publisher X Artists' Books in 2017.
The duo attend the UNAIDS Gala during Art Basel 2016, but no one seemed to catch on at the time.
"It's really astonishing to me how in the last five months, all of a sudden, she goes to an event with him and everybody goes insane, like, 'It's his new girlfriend,' because she had gone to a lot of events with him," Alexandra's friend Jennifer Tilly told Page Six in February 2020. "It's just suddenly surfaced that he's been dating her for several years."
The couple attended a Saint Laurent fashion show in Malibu together and held hands in front of photographers, though their low-key outing still didn't make headlines...
Keanu and Alexandra's romantic relationship did not fully capture the interest of the public until they walked the red carpet hand-in-hand at the 2019 LACMA Art + Film Gala. Alexandra later shared that she never expected their first official appearance as a couple to go viral.
"I think every single person I knew called me in the first week of November, and that's fascinating," she recalled to Vogue in March 2020. "But the question I've been asking in all of this is: ‘What is the opportunity for good?'"
The couple only had eyes for each other when they attended the 2022 MOCA Gala in Los Angeles, which marked their first red carpet appearance in three years.
Keanu and Alexandra engaged in a rare moment of PDA, sharing a kiss on the red carpet when they attended the 2023 MOCA Gala April 15. Excellent!
Their public smooch came just after Keanu shared rare insight into their relationship, the Speed actor telling a sweet story after he was asked about his last moment of bliss.
"A couple of days ago with my honey," he recently told People. "We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together."
The pair got all dolled up for a night out at the LACMA Art+Film Gala, the same event where they made their red carpet debut in 2019.
The John Wick actor and visual artist shared a sweet moment at the Los Angeles screening of his new movie Ballerina.
Alexandra celebrated Keanu’s 61st birthday with a touching Instagram post where she made a rare comment on their relationship, writing, “To Keanu—who saw this post as a draft!—I am so grateful for your love and partnership.”
