There is rarely information about Keanu Reeves’ personal life. That has gradually changed. And many American media outlets are suddenly sharing facts about the girlfriend the 58-year-old has had by his side for many years. Initially as a colleague, now officially as a partner. This is Alexandra Grant.
Grant from Ohio
Alexandra Grant, born April 4, 1973 in Ohio, is an American visual artist who explores language and written texts through painting, drawing, sculpture, video, and other media. Her father was a Scottish geology professor. Her mother, an American political science professor, Foreign service diplomat and education administrator who served in Africa and the Middle East. Grant now lives in Los Angeles.
Grant – the colleague
Reeves and Grant collaborated on an “adult picture book,” Ode To Happiness, in 2011. He wrote the texts and she contributed the illustrations. A few years later, in 2016, the book “Shadows” followed. In 2017, Grant founded a small publishing house called “X Artists Books” with designer Jessica Fleischmann and Keanu Reeves. Sometimes abbreviated as “XAB”.
Grant – the beloved
The Hollywood actor rarely shares anything about his personal life. Things didn’t go well for him for a long time. In 1999, his then-girlfriend Jennifer Syme gave birth to a stillbirth. A little later she died in a car accident. He struggled to form bonds.
In an interview with US magazine Poeple, Reeves opened up about his love life with Alexandra Grant. When asked about his last moment of happiness, he answered: “A few days ago with my darling.” Reeves and Grant were “in bed” and “connected.” “We smiled, laughed and giggled. We felt great. It was just really nice to be together.”
Grant – the artist
In 2007, Grant had her first solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles, curated by Alma Ruiz. The French writer and philosopher Hélène Cixous inspired Grant. Grant’s artwork was featured in a multi-artist exhibition in Tel Aviv in 2008 entitled “From and About Place: Art from Los Angeles.” The artist has subsequently exhibited in museums around the world. These include the Contemporary Museum in Baltimore and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Grant – the teacher
Alexandra Grant has worked as an academic. For example, from 2009 to 2011 she was an associate professor at the Art Center College of Design (Pasadena, California).
Grant – the bride
Grant also seems to occasionally marry friends, as her Instagram account shows. There you can see a photo in which she leads her friends Ginna and Edwin into marriage.
But there is also news from Grant’s husband: Keanu Reeves has been back in the cinema with his new film “John Wick: Chapter 4” since March 23rd.
