Being a private man, John Wick actor Keanu Reeves keeps most things to himself. However, there are times when his personality shines and resonates with people — like Reeves choosing to travel light without security. Keanu Reeves’s relationship with visual artist Alexandra Grant is another part of his life that he doesn’t share details about.
Keanu Reeves and the accomplished artist met in 2011 when they worked on a picture book, Ode to Happiness — Reeves wrote, Grant illustrated — together. The two remained acquaintances, then good friends over the years, but in November 2019, they announced they were dating. Reeves and Grant are usually seen smiling and holding hands at all red carpet events, but that’s about all the public gets to see.
In a rare surreal moment, Keanu Reeves described being with his girlfriend Alexandra Grant in bed as bliss. The moment, though awkward, was sweet — Grant also calls the actor an inspiration who makes her happy. Here’s what happened during Keanu’s awkward interview, what Alexandra has said about Keanu, and how this relationship is different from Reeves’ past romances.
Keanu Reeves’s Moment Of Bliss Is With His Girlfriend, Alexandra Grant

It was surely a rare reveal by John Wick star Keanu Reeves when he talked about his girlfriend Alexandra Grant. The longtime couple is not usually keen on drawing attention to themselves, but this hint from Keanu Reeves proves they are still very much in love.
Speaking with PEOPLE magazine, Keanu Reeves revealed a moment of bliss he shared with his girlfriend Alexandra Grant.
“Last moment of bliss? Meaning, if it was fleeting, you just thought, ‘Right now, everything was perfect,'” the interviewer asked.
“A couple of days ago with my honey,” Keanu said unbashedly.
“Where were you?”
“We were in bed,” Keanu Reeves smiled. “We were connected. It was really nice. We were smiling and laughing and giggling and feeling great. It was really nice to be together.”
This moment was endearing because Keanu Reeves rarely talks about his relationship with Alexandra Grant. While they have been friends for a long time before officially dating in 2019, the couple do not share personal details. Nonetheless, they show support and often provide fan-service PDAs in public.
Besides the rare moment, Reeves is also protective of his girlfriend, like when the Constantine star protected his girlfriend from a relentless stalker. Keanu Reeves had to take drastic measures, including hiring top-notch security, investigating the stalker, and working with the LAPD to catch the notorious talker.
Keanu Reeves also filed a temporary restraining order and a civil harassment restraining order before the temporary order expired a month later.
Alexandra Grant Feels Inspired In Her Relationship With Keanu Reeves

When news of the couple dating exploded in 2019, Alexandra Grant told Vogue she wasn’t prepared for people’s reactions.
“I think every single person I knew called me in the first week of November, and that’s fascinating,” she said. “But the question I’ve been asking in all of this is, ‘What is the opportunity for good?'”
On what people thought about their relationship because she was not the “typical woman” movie stars would go for, Grant said: “You know, the idea of fitting in… If I wanted to look like Kim Kardashian, I would have to have surgery removing about a foot off my legs.”
However, the couple dating after being longtime friends seemed perfect for the artist.
Years later, Grant still feels the same towards the action actor. Alexandra Grant told PEOPLE that Keanu Reeves was an inspiration to her. She said: “The good news about falling in love as an adult is that I had built my own career by the time that my relationship had begun. I feel very confident in the relationship on the red carpet. I feel confident on it alone.”
“It’s interdependent and independent in the best ways,” she adds.
“What I love about Keanu and our exchange is that we’re pushing each other to build new roads,” she revealed. “Seeing the other person’s problem-solving is inspiring, like, ‘Oh, well, okay, this one, that’s a cul-de-sac. How do I try this other thing?'”
“He’s such an inspiration to me. He’s so creative, he’s so kind. He works so hard.”
Grant also recalled people telling her her work had changed and become happier; “We’re all human beings. We’re animals. We’re expressing from where we are and certainly feeling happier. I think the work is happier.”
Keanu Reeves Has Been Linked To Many Celebrities But Never Confirmed The Relationships
Sandra Bullock, Winona Ryder, Diane Keaton and Charlize Theron are rumored exes of Reeves’
Keanu Reeves lives a private life. Other than stories, rumors, and speculations about the actor, no relationship, except with his late ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Syme, and current girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, were confirmed.
However, The Devil’s Advocate star has often been linked with several women in Hollywood.
No one can forget the explosive chemistry Keanu Reeves shared with Sandra Bullock in the 1994 movie Speed. There was speculation that Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock dated briefly in the 1990s, but that has been dispelled.
Besides the women he dated early in his career, Keanu Reeves has remained mostly single for decades, since he broke up with his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Syme (she passed away in an accident in 2001) in 2000, but remained close friends. He was linked to actresses Diane Keaton and Charlize Theron, but there was no confirmation from all parties.
Other actresses Reeves has been rumored to be entangled with include Claire Forlani, Kelli Garner, Lynn Collins, Winona Ryder, Parker Posey, and China Chow, among others.
Naturally, Keanu Reeves doesn’t kiss and tell with his co-star, which is why it’s hard to know who the Matrix Resurrections actor has dated.
The actor leaves the media to speculate about what is and isn’t in his relationship, but in rare moments, Keanu Reeves shows how contented he is with his girlfriend Alexandra Grant.
