Alexandra Grant, much more than the 'girlfriend of Keanu Reeves'

Alexandra Grant is often referred to as "Keanu Reeves' new girlfriend," but she has actually been in a relationship with the actor since 2019. Also, she is much more than 'the girlfriend of...'

Images like this, in which Alexandra Grant and Keanu Reeves pose at an event in 2019, have never been common, not even after they publicly announced their relationship.

Lately, the unconventional nature of Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant's relationship has been the subject of media and social media posts.

According to the heteronormative tradition, Grant would be "too old" for Reeves. But is she even really older than him? We will clarify this point later.

At the 2022 MOCA Gala, at the Geffen Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, they reappeared together.

It's no coincidence that the event had an artistic theme. Alexandra Grant, a painter and illustrator by profession, shares a huge passion for art with Keanu Reeves.

In fact, the artist and the actor met back in 2011, when they worked together on the book 'Ode to Happiness', written by Keanu Reeves and illustrated by Alexandra Grant.

Their book "explores the meaning of life without egos or greed, pointing them out as the deadly sins of contemporary society."

Five years later, the couple would collaborate again on 'Shadows,' a book and set of images that were exhibited in Los Angeles and Idaho.

The collaboration was so fluid between the two that in 2017, the couple participated in the founding of the publishing house X Artists' Books, which launches books of art.

Through their shared interest, in art, they formed a relationship that ended in romantic love. In 2020, Alexandra Grant spoke for the first time about her relationship with Keanu Reeves. She told Vogue about it.

"Love on all levels is important to my identity. I don't think isolation is the way to go. There is a period of isolation that I have as a painter, but I deeply value the experience of being in a relationship," she explained to Vogue.

Alexandra Grant is dating an actor who, for some time now, has gathered masses of fans worldwide.

As far as the age difference is concerned... Who do you think is older? Keanu Reeves was born in 1964...

As it turns out, he is almost nine years older than Alexandra Grant (1973)!

The explanation for a relationship as stable and calm as the one between Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant lies in the things that unite them.

Besides their love of art and their work in the publishing house, the couple also shares a rejection of decadence. Even though Keanu Reeves is a Hollywood star, he has often promoted his simpler lifestyle.

According to Forbes, Keanu Reeves' fortune is valued at $360 million.

But instead of buying mansions, private jets, or islands, the actor prefers to spend his fortune on helping others.

One example was the gesture to his three stunt doubles in the 'John Wick' saga, whom he took to dinner at a very luxurious restaurant in Paris and gave a personalized Rolex Submariner watch, Forbes reported. The Rolexes were valued at more than $55,000 each.

If Keanu Reeves is generous, Alexandra Grant is not far behind. Through her project 'grantLOVE', the artist sells all kinds of art to help other, younger artists with its proceeds.

Alexandra Grant is the first serious partner the actor has had since his relationship with Jennifer Syme, who tragically passed away in 2001.

Apart from Keanu's film projects, nothing has separated Alexandra Grant and Keanu Reeves in the past years.

The couple seems quite serious and down-to-earth, which is rare in Hollywood. And perhaps it's a recipe for long-term success!
