Keanu Reeves, the new photos on the red carpet with his girlfriend Alexandra Grant

Keanu Reeves appears more in love than ever. Hand in hand with his partner, painter Alexandra Grant, he made one of the very rare public appearances as a couple on the red carpet. In Los Angeles, on the occasion of the 2022 edition of MOCA Gala at The Geffen Museum of Contemporary Art, the 57-year-old actor and 49-year-old girlfriend seemed to be very close.

This annual event is very important to both of us. Art, in fact, is the reason for living of Alexandra Grant but also of her partner. They have been friends for a long time and have collaborated on the creation of two books (written by him, illustrated by her) and in 2019 they then made the first red carpet together, also in Los Angeles.

The two love to keep a low-key relationshipin line with the reserved nature of the actor of Matrix, and it seems they have been dating long before the public debut (it is rumored it was 2011). They founded a publishing house, X Artists Books, but they don’t care at all to be the center of attention. Indeed, the painter said she was bewildered by the enormous invasion of privacy she had when the attendance was made public. In the very rare interviews he has released, the artist has skilfully dribbled the questions about a possible marriage. So did the companion, who in an interview on the Drew Barrymore show, however, launched a dissertation on the importance of fighting for love and exposing oneself when you care about something or someone.

That’s why the actor puts his face to it but has no intention of feeding his personal life to the tabloids. Scalded by past meddling, Keanu Reeves has developed a very strong spirit of survival. Pain, on the other hand, has always crossed him closely: as a boy he lost one of his best friends, River Phoenix (Joaquin’s brother) and in 2001 his partner Jennifer Syme died in a car accident, in the eighth month of pregnancy.

Today the actor is known for his marked sensitivity and generosity, while always retaining that veil of melancholy that distinguishes him and which seems to have dissipated since he has been dating Alexandra Grant.

From a professional point of view, Keanu Reeves is experiencing another golden period: after John Wick 4 and 5will lend his voice to Batman in DC League of Super-Pets, the cartoon arriving in Italian cinemas on September 1st. He will soon be involved in the feature film based on his comic BRZRKR, as well as in the series The devil in the white citybased on the novel of the same name and produced by Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio.
