Keanu Reeves and his longtime girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, have become one of Hollywood's favorite couples thanks to their low-key, genuine romance. The duo has been together since 2019 and were recently rumored to have married in a "secret" ceremony in Europe over the summer, but they have since both denied the claims, taking a playful approach to set the record straight. Alexandra is a talented visual artist who has made a name for herself through her multidisciplinary work. As Keanu's partner, she has garnered attention for their authentic connection and down-to-earth approach to their relationship.
In an interview with People, Keanu shared a tender moment he experienced with Alexandra, describing how they were "connected," "smiling and laughing and giggling" while in bed together. "A couple of days ago with my honey. We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together," he said.

Alexandra's career

Speaking to People, Alexandra credited her romance with the John Wick star for improving her art. "I had a studio visit a few years ago, and this very kind, very high-level person said, 'I can see that your work has gotten happier,'" she told the publication. "That's real. We're all human beings. We're animals. We're expressing from where we are. I think the work is happier."
First meeting

They made their red carpet debut at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in November 2019, which Alexandra told Vogue had "every single person" she knew calling her after.

According to Jennifer, Keanu and Alexandra's low-key approach to their relationship has garnered admiration. Jennifer said: "I think everybody wishes that they had something like that. It's not a razzle-dazzle Hollywood romance."

"He's so creative, he's so kind. He works so hard," she added: "The good news about falling in love as an adult is that I had built my own career by the time that my relationship had begun. I feel very confident in the relationship on the red carpet. I feel confident on it alone."
Romance with Keanu

She added that "love at every level is deeply important" to her identity and expressed her belief in the value of being in relationships, saying: "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."
Secret wedding

However, Keanu later addressed the rumors surrounding his relationship status and broke his silence on whether he and Alexandra are now officially husband and wife. "It is not true," Keanu's publicist told E! News in a statement. "They are not married."
Alexandra also denied the reports by poking fun at the marriage rumors and thanking fans for the congratulatory messages while reaffirming Keanu's statement that they did not tie the knot. "This is a real photo. Not an engagement photo or an AI wedding announcement... simply a kiss! (Albeit maybe the moment right before or after it... given the slightly goofy expressions on our faces!) We're at Roden Crater, and Keanu and Gard had just finished interviewing James Turrell for Visionaries," she wrote alongside a photo of them kissing while sitting on steps during their visit to Roden Crater, an art installation by artist James Turrell, in Arizona.

In 2020, Alexandra shared her views on marriage in an interview with Vogue, telling the publication: "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."
