Everything Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant have said about their relationship

Reeves and Grant were friends and collaborators for years before they started dating, having previously worked together on a 2011 book. An ode to happiness.

They then made their first public appearance as a couple at the LACMA Art + Film Gala a year later in 2019.

Although Reeves and Grant haven’t shied away from PDA in the years since, they’ve kept most of their romance under wraps.

But in September, Grant opened up to PEOPLE about her relationship with John Wick star while walking the red carpet alone.

“The good news about falling in love as an adult is that I had built my own career by the time my relationship started,” she told PEOPLE at the Beverly Arts Icon Awards in Los Angeles, where she was honored.

“I feel very confident about the relationship on the red carpet. I feel confident only on him,” added the visual artist. “It is interdependent and independent in the best way.”

At the same event, the seasoned artiste also said that she and the actor push each other creatively.

“What I love about Keanu and our exchange is that we push each other to build new roads,” Grant said. “Seeing another person solve problems is inspiring, like, ‘Oh, okay, okay, uh, that’s a dead end. How can I try the latter?’ ”

She continued: “He is such an inspiration to me. He is so creative, he is so kind. He works so hard.”

Grant also said that “storytelling is at the heart” of what both she and Reeves do.

“My work is much more of a private performance, but I have a text that I interpret in the studio into a picture, into an object,” she explained. “He takes the text in private and then turns it into a performance in public. There is a relationship. We are both readers and explorers at heart. We also care about people and characters.”

When asked if her own art has changed since she started dating Reeves, Grant said, “Absolutely.”

“A few years ago I visited the studio and this very kind person at a high level said, ‘I see that your work has become happier,'” she recalled. “It’s real. We are all human beings. We are animals. We express ourselves where we are and we certainly feel happier.”

“I think work is happier,” Grant added.
