Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant’s Hollywood love story is one for the books…literally.
Though the 61-year-old Matrix actor has reportedly been dating the 52-year-old visual artist since 2019, the pair were friends and colleagues for at least eight years before their relationship turned romantic. In 2011, the pair discovered their professional bond when Grant surprised Reeves with a book called Ode to Happiness, which combined his own writing with her illustrations.
How did this couple go from opening a small-press publishing company in 2017 to kissing on the red carpet? Here’s a complete timeline of Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant’s relationship with the most recent first.
September 24, 2025: Reaves and Grant are halting the spread of misinformation with a kiss. After receiving congratulatory messages about a wedding that did not take place, Grant took to Instagram to set the record straight while sharing a sweet PDA moment captured by photographer Brian Skope at Roden Crater.
“This is a real photo. Not an engagement photo or an AI wedding announcement… simply a kiss!” she captioned the image, though she admits it might have been taken a split-second before or after the smooch “given the slightly goofy expressions on our faces!”
She continued, “I’m sharing it here to say thank you to everyone for the congratulations on our wedding. Except we didn’t get married. Good news is much needed these days, but it’s still fake news, so be careful out there! So, here’s a bit of real happiness!”
