Relationships

Actor Keanu Reeves and artist Alexandra Grant have been dating for quite some time. They kept their relationship private, and the fact that Keanu and Alexandra are together only came to light in 2019. Previously, they worked together on Keanu’s book, for which Alexandra made illustrations. And later, they even established a small publishing company.

In 2019, the couple made their first public appearance. Reeves and Grant, holding hands, walked the red carpet at a social event in Los Angeles. Since then, fans have begun to follow their relationship closely.

The actor’s previous serious relationship, known to the public, ended as far back as 2000. Keanu Reeves dated actress Jennifer Syme whom he met in 1998 at a party thrown for his rock band. It was love at first sight, they literally started living together right away. The lovers had been dating for over a year and were expecting a baby.

Unfortunately, they lost the child, and their grief put a strain on their relationship leading to their separation in 2000, but they remained good friends and then got back together. But in 2001, Keanu suffered another blow: Jennifer tragically died in a car accident. After that, Reeves was in mourning for many years.

The actor kept his relationship with his current girlfriend private for a long time. So everyone was surprised when Keanu threw a huge party for Alexandra and invited his family and friends. Needless to say that the guests assumed that he was going to propose to his girlfriend. Rumors immediately swirled about Reeves getting married soon.

Their friends believe that Keanu and Alexandra are a great couple: they are similar in many ways, they like the same things, and they truly enjoy each other’s company. The actor had been living alone for a long time, so everyone was glad that he found his happiness with Alexandra. Maybe this is the beginning of a new chapter in his life, which they will write together.
