The couple, who made their red carpet debut in 2019, have kept much of their romance private. Reeves confirmed the relationship the following year, telling Parade in 2020, “It’s been really wonderful to be with Alexandra. We enjoy each other’s company, whatever that may be.” Read her sweet message here.
How Their Relationship Began

Grant has spoken openly about their later-in-life romance. “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,” she told People in 2023. “I feel very confident in the relationship on the red carpet. I feel confident on it alone.”

Around that time, Reeves gave rare insight into his personal happiness. Asked about his last moment of bliss, he told People: “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.”
Keanu Reeves’ 61st birthday celebration shows that even after decades in Hollywood and roles in “The Matrix,” “John Wick,” and “Speed,” some of his happiest moments are found offscreen with Alexandra Grant.
