Everything You Need to Know About Alexandra Grant, Keanu Reeves’s Rumored New Girlfriend

Sorry, Keanu Reeves fans, but it looks like the Canadian actor is no longer on the market.

This past Saturday, Reeves was spotted holding hands with Los Angeles–based artist Alexandra Grant on the red carpet at the LACMA Art + Film Gala. While the hand-holding may seem out of the blue for those who don’t make a career off tracking celebrity relationship statuses, Reeves and Grant have actually been friends for years (and have even walked the red carpet hand-in-hand before).

Keep reading to learn more about Grant, from her first artistic collaboration with Reeves back in 2011 to the art book publishing company she cofounded with the actor in 2017.

THEY MET AT A DINNER PARTY IN 2009.

In a feature published by The New York Times, it’s revealed that the two first crossed paths during a dinner party a decade ago. Not long after they met, they started working together.

GRANT AND REEVES HAVE ARTISTICALLY COLLABORATED BEFORE.

Grant created illustrations for Reeves’s 2011 book, Ode to Happiness, which pegs itself as “a grown-up’s picture book” that is “both a meditation and a gentle tease about how we cope with life’s sorrows.”

In 2016, the duo came together again to create Shadows, a series that “explores the real and symbolic nature of the shadow as image and figure of speech,” with photography by Grant and text by Reeves.

THEY COFOUNDED A PUBLISHING COMPANY.

In 2017, the artistic duo cofounded X Artists’ Books, a small publishing house that focuses on artist-centered books. Some books that the company has published include The Artists’ Prison, The Words of Others, and Oracular Transmissions.

GRANT ALSO FOUNDED THE GRANTLOVE PROJECT.

According to its website, the GrantLOVE Project “is an artist-owned and operated project that produces and sells original artworks and editions to benefit artist projects and arts non-profits.” Since 2008, Grant has used sales from the project to raise funds for various Los Angeles–based charities or art projects.
