THE RUNDOWN
- A report claimed Keanu Reeves and girlfriend Alexandra Grant secretly got married, sparking rumors after their actual relationship status.
- Reeves’s rep issued a statement denying the couple tied the knot.
- Grant recently posted a birthday tribute to Reeves, but they have otherwise kept their relationship mostly private.
Keanu Reeves’s publicist denied claims that the John Wick actor secretly married his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant. Earlier this month, Radar Online claimed the couple had an intimate wedding ceremony in Europe over the summer. On September 22, Reeves’s rep shut down those rumors, telling E! News in a statement, “It is not true. They are not married.”
Reeves and Grant have been together for years but have kept most of their love story private.
On September 3, Grant posted a rare Instagram tribute for Reeves’s 61st birthday, sharing a photo of a heart-shaped cake decorated with his name. “Thank you to everyone for sending over sweet wishes for Keanu’s birthday yesterday… he was well-celebrated!” she wrote in the caption. “And to Keanu—who saw this post as a draft!—I am so grateful for your love and partnership. Now back to painting! xo.”
The couple first met sometime before publishing their collaborative 2011 picture book, Ode to Happiness, which Reeves wrote and Grant illustrated. In 2016, they teamed up again on the book Shadows before co-founding their publishing house, X Artists’ Books, the following year.
Their romantic relationship became public in 2019, when they made their debut as a couple at the LACMA Art + Film Gala. Since then, they’ve offered a few glimpses into their life together. In March 2023, Reeves recalled spending some “moments of bliss” with Grant, telling People, “We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together.”
Later that year, Grant spoke to People about their partnership and her appreciation for Reeves’s craft. “He’s such an inspiration to me. He’s so creative, he’s so kind,” she told the outlet in September 2023. “He works so hard. To make a film, you require hundreds of people. To be an artist, you don’t. You require one. You require a community to get the work into the world, but not to actually make it. I think part of the inspiration is the differences of scale.”
