Keanu Reeves, 58, says his latest blissful moment was in bed ‘with my honey’ Alexandra Grant, 49: ‘We were smiling and laughing and giggling’

Keanu Reeves, 58, has shed some light on his blossoming romance with his painter girlfriend Alexandra Grant, 49.

When he was asked to name his ‘last moment of bliss,’ he told People: ‘A couple of days ago with my honey. We were in bed. We were connected.’

The John Wick star effervesced: ‘We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together.’

Alexandra and Keanu first became acquainted at a dinner party in 2009 and collaborated on two art books together before going red carpet official in 2019.

However in the intervening years they have tended to guard their privacy and rarely discussed details of their relationship in public.

Alexandra found herself at the business end of an internet frenzy when she walked the red carpet with Keanu at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in early November 2019.

‘I think every single person I knew called me in the first week of November, and that’s fascinating,’ she told British Vogue a few months later.

When she was asked in 2020 about the prospect of marriage, she said: ‘Love at every level is deeply important to my identity. How’s that for dodging the question?’

She added: ‘I do not believe that isolation is the way. There is a period of isolation that I do as a painter, but I deeply value the experience of being in relationships.’ 

By the time they went red carpet official, they had been friends for around a decade and it had been reported that Keanu wanted the romance out in the open. 

They first collaborated in 2011 on Keanu’s book Ode To Happiness, with Alexandra providing the illustrations. The project marked her first book as an artist and his first as a writer.

They worked together again on the actor’s 2016 book Shadows, to which Alexandra once again contributed the artwork. 

She is his first known girlfriend since Jennifer Syme, who died in a car accident in 2001 less than four months after delivering her and Keanu’s stillborn baby.

The old days: In 2010 a photograph surfaced of the Matrix star sitting glumly on a park bench, resulting in the wildly viral ‘Sad Keanu’ meme 

In 2010 a photograph surfaced of the Matrix star sitting glumly on a park bench, resulting in the wildly viral ‘Sad Keanu’ meme. 

When the meme took off there was much speculation that his expression was connected to the shattering losses he had undergone in the past decade.

However in a 2021 interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Keanu dished that he actually looked forlorn in the picture because he was feeling peckish.

‘Man, I’m eating a sandwich!’ the movie star said of the picture. ‘I was thinking. I had some stuff going on. I was hungry.’
