Keanu Reeves has certainly had his fair share of good fortune in the realm of love. So much so that last month, whispers of marriage swirled around him and his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, though Alexandra was swift to set the record straight on social media, clarifying that the couple had not yet walked down the aisle. Still, the Matrix star revealed that the speculation didn't faze him all that much. "Well, that wasn't the first time," Keanu quipped with a wry smile in an exclusive interview with E! News on October 13 at the glitzy New York City premiere of his latest film, Good Fortune. "We've been seeing each other for quite a while now."
The 61-year-old actor also lauded Alexandra—whom he began dating in 2018—for her graceful handling of the rumors on Instagram. "The wedding, it's a lovely notion," he mused. "People sent so many kind messages and whatnot, but Alexandra just did a fantastic job addressing it all. Like, 'Thank you all, but here's the real scoop.'"
Indeed, the visual artist had a blast setting the record straight when she informed the world that she and the John Wick star had not, in fact, tied the knot. "This is a genuine photo," Alexandra, 52, penned on Instagram on September 24, alongside a snapshot of the couple sharing a kiss at an art installation. "Not an engagement photo or an AI-generated wedding announcement... just a simple kiss!"
She went on, "I'm sharing this to express my gratitude to everyone for the congratulatory messages on our supposed wedding. Except we didn't actually get married. Good news is always welcome these days, but this was still fake news, so be cautious out there! Here's a dose of real happiness instead!"
While Keanu and Alexandra have yet to exchange vows, their bond remains as strong as ever. They've recently enjoyed a series of delightful date nights, including the premiere of Good Fortune—which hit theaters on October 17—and the opening night of Jamie Lloyd’s Broadway production of Waiting for Godot on September 28, where they stepped out beaming on the red carpet.
And earlier in the month, Alexandra celebrated Keanu's birthday with a heartfelt message. "Thank you to everyone who sent over sweet wishes for Keanu's birthday yesterday... he was truly celebrated!" she wrote on Instagram on September 3, alongside a picture of a heart-shaped cake adorned with his name. "To Keanu—who, incidentally, saw this post as a draft!—I am endlessly grateful for your love and partnership."
