28 september 2025 в 23:13
The love story of Alexandra Grant and Keanu Reeves began about 15 years ago. The fateful meeting of the artist with the star of «John Wick» at a dinner in 2009 led to almost a decade-long collaboration in work, a love for art and books, and a friendship that culminated in their debut as a couple on the red carpet at the LACMA art and film gala in Los Angeles on November 2, 2019. Keanu’s decision to invite a plus one — who was not a relative or friend — was significant. The actor (publicly) remained single for a long time after the tragic birth of his stillborn daughter Ava Archer Syme-Reeves in 1999, which was soon followed by a car accident that killed the child’s mother and Keanu’s former girlfriend, actress Jennifer Syme, in 2001.
Twenty years later, Keanu found happiness. However, the blossoming romance between Alexandra and Keanu was already noticeable after they were seen holding hands at the Saint Laurent Mens Spring Summer 20 show in Malibu on June 6, 2019. The couple also became the subject of marriage rumors, as they have been together for many years, but Alexandra was able to dispel these speculations in 2025.
Here’s what you need to know about Alexandra, the woman who captured the heart of the «Internet boyfriend» after all these years.
Alexandra is described as an «artist who uses text as the basis of her work in painting, drawing, and sculpture», - according to the Ochi gallery’s presentation of Alexandra. The talented artist developed her love for spoken word in childhood, as she grew up in various countries: Mexico, Spain, and France.
Alexandra’s art has been featured at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Gradiva Gallery in Paris, the Broad Museum at Michigan State University, and the Harris Lieberman Gallery in New York, just to name a few!
Their relationship, initially professional, began with books! Alexandra contributed illustrations to Keanu’s first book, an adult book titled «Ode to Happiness», - which was published in 2011. She also helped illustrate Keanu’s poetry book «Shadows», - released in 2015.
The publishing company called X Artists' Books was launched in the summer of 2017. Departing from mainstream publishers, the company focuses on «unusual collaborations» and books that «don't really have a place because they’re between genres», - as business partners explained in an interview with Los Angeles Magazine in February 2018. The interviewer noted that they share a «light rapport» and speak «in a comfortable language, fueled by inside jokes and understanding smiles» — does this not foreshadow something?
She founded the grantLOVE project in 2008, which sells various products from hoodies, screen prints to neon signs, to raise funds for other artists' projects and non-profit organizations!
