Keanu Reeves Gracefully Addresses Marriage Speculations with Alexandra Grant

Keanu Reeves has enjoyed a remarkably steady romantic journey.

Recently, speculation arose suggesting that he and his girlfriend Alexandra Grant might be tying the knot. However, Alexandra promptly dispelled these notions via social media, clarifying that the couple remains unmarried. Despite the rumors, Keanu remained unfazed by the gossip.

Calm Amidst Speculation

In an exclusive interview with E! News on October 13 at the New York City premiere of his latest film, Good Fortune, the Matrix star remarked, “This isn't new. We've been together for quite some time.”

At 61, Keanu also expressed his admiration for Alexandra's handling of the situation, highlighting her Instagram post that effectively put the rumors to rest.

Alexandra’s Thoughtful Response

“The idea of marriage is wonderful,” he stated. “Many kind messages were sent, but Alexandra addressed it beautifully by stating, ‘Thank you, but here’s the truth.’”

True to her nature, Alexandra added a playful touch to her Instagram clarification.

“This is a genuine photo,” she posted on September 24, featuring a kiss between the two at an art exhibit. “Not an engagement shot or a fabricated announcement... just a simple kiss!”

She continued, “Thank you to everyone for the wedding congratulations. However, we didn’t get married. In these times, real good news is essential, but beware of fake news! Here’s a bit of genuine happiness instead.”

Strong and Supportive Relationship

Although not married, Keanu and Alexandra’s bond remains robust. Their relationship has been marked by enjoyable outings, including attending the Good Fortune premiere released on October 17 and the opening of Jamie Lloyd’s Broadway rendition of Waiting for Godot on September 28, where they appeared hand-in-hand on the red carpet.

Earlier this month, Alexandra celebrated Keanu’s birthday with a heartfelt message.

“Thank you to everyone for the lovely birthday wishes for Keanu yesterday... he felt truly celebrated!” she shared on Instagram on September 3, featuring a heart-shaped cake with his name. “To Keanu—who saw this post as a draft!—I deeply appreciate your love and partnership.”

A Look Back at Their Journey

Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant first crossed paths at a dinner party in 2009, as reported by The New York Times T Magazine. Their collaboration extended to co-authoring two books: Ode to Happiness in 2011 and the Shadows series in 2016. Together, they also established the publisher X Artists’ Books in 2017.

Their relationship remained low-profile until a series of public appearances drew attention.

For instance, during Art Basel 2016’s UNAIDS Gala, their presence went largely unnoticed. “It's surprising how in the past five months, Alexandra attending events with him caused a frenzy, implying a new relationship, despite years together,” shared Alexandra’s friend, Jennifer Tilly, to Page Six in February 2020.

Despite their discreet nature, moments like the 2019 LACMA Art + Film Gala marked the beginning of public acknowledgment, with their simultaneous red carpet entrance going viral.

Public Moments

The couple maintained their privacy until attending the 2022 MOCA Gala in Los Angeles, their first joint red carpet appearance in three years. A notable display of affection followed at the 2023 MOCA Gala on April 15, where they shared a kiss on the red carpet.

Keanu recently opened up about their relationship, sharing a sweet anecdote with People: “A few days ago with my love, we were together, connected, laughing, and enjoying each other's company. It was a wonderful moment of togetherness.”

Upcoming Events

Looking ahead, the duo is set to attend the LACMA Art+Film Gala in November 2023, revisiting the venue of their 2019 debut as a couple.

In June 2025, they will grace the Los Angeles premiere of Keanu’s new film, Ballerina, sharing another memorable moment.

By September 2025, Alexandra is expected to honor Keanu’s 61st birthday with another heartfelt tribute on Instagram, celebrating their enduring partnership.
