Rockefeller Christmas Tree: check. New York City lights: check. Ice skating, hand-holding, and a kiss beneath the glow: check.
Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant’s date night in Manhattan had all the makings of a rom-com moment. For the couple, love is all about celebrating everyday moments, and their latest photos prove the same. Reeves, who is usually aloof, showed his romantic side this week while spending time in New York City with longtime girlfriend Alexandra.
Alexandra Shares Details From Their Dreamy New York Date
GettyIn photos Alexandra shared on Instagram, the duo was spotted holding hands while ice skating at Rockefeller Center under the winter night sky. Bundled in coats, scarves, and beanie hats, the pair started off a bit wobbly, but quickly found their footing and settled into the fun.
As the night went on, they grew more comfortable and even paused for a kiss beneath the towering Christmas tree, which remains on display following the holidays. See their adorable photos here.
Grant later shared the moment on Instagram, revealing that the outing came after Reeves’ stage performance. “Last Monday, after the run of Waiting for Godot, Keanu invited me on a date in New York City… ⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️⛸️,” she wrote.
She went on to thank the rink staff for making the night memorable. “…and we just want to give a shout out to everyone at the Rink @rockefellercenter for welcoming us! You made us feel right at home, cheering us on, and offering us hot cocoa and pompom hats.
Getty“Thank you, too, to the folks behind the scenes who made this special night happen — you know who you are!”
Grant also added a lighthearted note about Reeves returning to the ice after years away.
“And to the Christmas Elves, Nanea and Jeff, who got Keanu new skates. Getting back on ice after a few decades and moving from hockey skates to figure skates and #$%@ toe picks is no joke! x.”

Another fan shared: “I can watch this for hours and hours!! Love looks exactly like this!! 💖💖💖”
Addressing Marriage Rumors & Their Longtime Bond
GettyThe romantic date comes about a month after Reeves and Grant addressed speculation that they had secretly married. The actor’s publicist released a statement to People at the time, saying, “It is not true. They are not married.”
Reeves, 61, and Grant first went public with their relationship in 2019— see their photos here. Seven years later, the pair continues to show strong support for one another.
On September 3, Grant marked Reeves’ birthday with a heart-shaped cake shared on Instagram. “Keanu — who saw this post as a draft! — I am so grateful for your love and partnership,” she wrote.
GettyFans previously speculated about a possible engagement after Grant was seen wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger last year, though the couple never confirmed the engagement rumors.
A Relationship Built on Creativity & Partnership
GettyThe couple first met at a dinner party in 2009 before becoming creative collaborators, working together on two art books. Their friendship later developed into a romantic relationship.
At the premiere of “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” last December, Reeves was asked whether the red carpet appearance was a date night.
Getty“I guess it is! Yeah, we got dolled up, and it’s been very exciting… it’s just really special to be side by side,” he told Entertainment Tonight.
Reeves has occasionally opened up about their private life. In 2023, he told People that his “last moment of bliss” involved time spent together. “A couple of days ago with my honey. We were in bed. We were connected.”
He added, “We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together.”
Grant has also spoken warmly about her partner. In a September 2023 interview with People, she said, “He’s such an inspiration to me. He’s so creative, he’s so kind. He works so hard.”
Reflecting on finding love later in life, 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.”
GettyAs Reeves continues his New York stay for his stage work, the couple’s simple, old-fashioned date offered a rare and intimate glimpse into their loving bond.
