Stepping out for a rare red carpet appearance on Saturday night, Keanu Reeves and longtime girlfriend Alexandra Grant stole a sneaky kiss during 2024’s Museum of Contemporary Art Gala soiree. Of course, seeing the pair together in public is increasingly rare these days, as The Matrix star prefers to keep his love life out of the media spotlight. So, witnessing the adorable couple share a public display of affection is pretty out of the ordinary.
Donning a stylish midnight blue suit accompanied by a trendy grey scarf and tan boots, the 59-year-old Hollywood legend stunned onlookers. That said, it’s fair to say that 51-year-old long-term girlfriend Alexandra Grant also turned heads in an emerald blue gown with a plunging neckline, while finishing off her eye-catching look with a glittering pink clutch purse, natural makeup, and pink glossy lip.
Joining the endearing duo were some familiar faces in the world of art, music and cinema, including Ava DuVernay, Kim Gordon, David Alan Grier, Christine Chiu, Candy Spelling, and many more.
Reeves met Grant at a dinner party in 2009, and it wasn’t long before the twosome became close friends, and the relationship gave way to a romantic one. While the couple have been dating since 2017, it was in 2019 when the pair finally went public. Offering some rare insight into his romantic private life, Reeves spoke to People, saying:
A couple of days ago with my honey. We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together.
Of course, Alexandra Grant is synonymous with the art world, as she is a famous American artist based in Los Angeles. She’s won numerous awards in the art world, including the COLA 2015 Individual Artists Fellowship award and the SOMA residency in 2018. The lovable duo also founded a publishing company together: X Artists’ Books in 2017.
“My work is much more of a private performance, but I have a text that I interpret in the studio into a painting, into an object,” Grant explained in an interview with People. “He takes the text in private and then turns it into a performance in public. … There’s a relationship. We’re both, at the heart, readers and researchers. We both care about people and we care about characters.”
