Keanu Reeves, a Canadian actor, made a rare public appearance with his long-term partner Alexandra Grant at the 2022 Museum of Contemporary Arts Gala (MOCA). The 57-year-old actor wore a navy jacket and trouser suit with a white shirt and tie to the event, which took place on June 4 at The Geffen Contemporary in Los Angeles. His 49-year-old girlfriend looked stunning in a crimson gown with a halter neck design and sparkling ballerina slippers.

The connection between Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant
While it is unclear when their affair began, it is thought that Keanu Reeves began discreetly seeing her in 2018. They did not make their relationship public until 2019 when they attended the LACMA Art + Film Gala. Keanu and Alexandra have long been friends and colleagues, having known each other for 10 years prior to their relationship.
Alexandra and the actor initially met in 2009, when they were introduced at a dinner party and quickly bonded. While there was no personal relationship at the time, Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant realized they had a lot in common, and thus a professional relationship started. Over the following decade, Reeves and Grant collaborated on various projects, starting with Ode to Happiness in 2011 – Reeves’ poetry volume for which Alexandra did the illustrations.
Four years later, they collaborated on a second book. Alexandra was more involved in this collaboration, shooting Keanu as her subject. Reeves displayed different shadows for Alexandra to capture, and he also contributed poetry to the 2015 book Shadows.
Grant discussed her connection with Reeves for the first time in an interview with British Vogue in March 2020, saying it was a whirlwind when the media uncovered their affair:
“I believe everyone I knew phoned me in the first week of November, which is intriguing.” But the question I’ve been asking throughout is, “What is the chance for good?”
Grant remained tight-lipped when asked what she feels about marriage.
“With a glass of wine… I wish I could tell you. Love is fundamental to my identity on many levels. That’s one way to avoid answering the question. I don’t think solitude is the answer. As a painter, I go through periods of seclusion, yet I enjoy the sensation of being in partnerships.”
Keanu Reeves will next be seen in DC League of Super-Pets, John Wick: Chapter 4, The Devil in the White City, John Wick: Chapter 5, and BRZRKR.
