They are said to have been in love for a long time, but the media have only known about Alexandra Grants, 46, and Keanu Reeves, 55, since November 2019. Now Grant reveals that literally all of her acquaintances and friends were freaking out and should have contacted them when she first appeared in public with the "John Wick" actor.
Alexandra Grant is amazed by the whole vortex
Apparently not only fans of the actor were surprised when he strode hand in hand with Alexandra Grant on the red carpet last November. In an interview with the British "Vogue", the artist now looks back on this turmoil and notes: "I think every single person I know called me in the first week of November – that's fascinating."
Grant is amazed at the immense public interest in their private lives. As the British magazine reports, opinions about their liaison are said to have differed widely.
Apparently, many people were amazed that Keanu Reeves had a woman of almost the same age at his side. Apparently, a "small" age difference of nine years is considered unusual. However, Grant appears to be very confident and down-to-earth regarding her age and appearance. "I'm a six foot tall woman with white hair. You know, the idea of adapting … If I wanted to look like Kim Kardashian, I would have to have an operation to remove about a meter from my legs," jokes the 46-year-old.
In addition, the "Matrix" actor has given the image of "sad Keanu" for many years, since he was a long-term single and he had to cope with many strokes of fate. With his seemingly happy relationship with Alexandra Grant, Keanu Reeves may be able to get this picture off of him.

The current couple published their first book in 2011, which included their poetic text and their drawings. It should have been an indication that the two had an intimate connection even then. "I made the book as a surprise for Keanu, as a private gift," Grant says. "All of our friends who were sitting in this room giggled when I gave it to them – they said: 'Please publish it! So that's how we got into publishing," reveals the American.
A few weeks ago, Grant's good friend Jennifer Tilly, 61, also commented, confirming that Grant and Reeves had been dating for several years. Why the actress could not understand the media hype about the supposedly first red carpet appearance of the couple.
