Keanu Reeves' girlfriend Alexandra Grant gives rare interview into relationship with the actor
Keanu Reeves' artist girlfriend has given a rare insight into her relationship with the actor.
Alexandra Grant spoke out for the first time since the couple made their public debut at an art gala in LA last November.
"I think every single person I knew called me in the first week of November, and that's fascinating," the 47-year-old recalled of the moment to British Vogue. "But the question I've been asking in all of this is: 'What is the opportunity for good?'"

Since the outing, there has been speculation Reeves and Grant had started dating long before they walked the red carpet hand-in-hand. Confirmation came last month when Grant's friend, actress Jennifer Tilly, confirmed the couple had in fact been together for "several years".
So, Vogue asked: is marriage on the cards anytime soon?
"Love at every level is deeply important to my identity. How's that for dodging the question?" she coyly replied.
"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."
Grant has been friends with Reeves for almost 10 years, with the pair even going into business together in 2017 to found their own publishing company, X Artists' Books.
It certainly seems as though Reeves has met his match. Just like the actor, who is known for not buying into the Hollywood hype, Grant also doesn't feel the need to fit in. For starters, she is quite happy to let her hair go grey, something she has allowed since her mid-twenties.
"I'm a 6ft 1in [185cm] woman with white hair," she explained. "You know, the idea of fitting in… If I wanted to look like Kim Kardashian, I would have to have surgery removing about a foot off my legs."
