Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant: Instagram denial ends wedding rumors, relationship remains private

Alexandra Grant on Wednesday pushed back on wedding rumors surrounding her relationship with Keanu Reeves, posting that a photo circulating online is real but not evidence of a marriage. "This is a real photo. Not an engagement photo or an AI wedding announcement… simply a kiss!" Grant wrote, adding that the moment happened at Roden Crater, where Reeves and Grant had just finished interviewing James Turrell for Visionaries. "We’re at Roden Crater, and Keanu and Grant had just finished interviewing James Turrell for Visionaries," she wrote, before clarifying, "Except we didn’t get married."

She also wrote: "I’m sharing it here to say thank you to everyone for the congratulations on our wedding." "But we didn’t get married," she concluded. "Good news is much needed these days, but it’s still fake news, so be careful out there! So, here’s a bit of real happiness! Real photo by Brian Skope (@skopephotography)!" Grant’s message comes as the longtime couple has kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight, choosing public appearances carefully and on occasion sharing glimpses of their lives together.

The post comes amid a long-running relationship that first came to light publicly in November 2019 on the red carpet for the LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles, after Reeves and Grant had previously crossed paths in 2011 while collaborating on the book Ode to Happiness. An insider told People at the time that Reeves "wants to openly share his life with her" and was "extremely happy and grateful to have Alex in his life." The couple had reportedly started dating earlier that year, though they had initially kept their romance quiet.

Grant has spoken publicly about Reeves’ influence on her work and their collaboration. In a 2020 interview with Vogue, she described the couple’s dynamic as a mutual inspiration and noted that she was navigating how public their relationship should be. "What is the opportunity for good?" she asked, describing the curiosity surrounding their romance and the opportunity to use their platform for constructive change. The quote underscored her desire to keep the focus on their artistic partnership rather than sensational headlines.

In March 2023, Reeves spoke about moments of bliss with his partner when asked by People about his last moment of happiness. "A couple of days ago with my honey," he said. "We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together." Grant has publicly praised Reeves as well, telling People that he is "such an inspiration" and noting that he is "so creative" and works "so hard". She added that their exchange is about pushing each other to explore new solutions, including how they approach problems in their respective fields.

The couple has continued to surface together at high-profile events while maintaining a relatively private profile. Grant noted that Reeves is "incredible to work with" and that their collaboration extends beyond a single project, pointing to their shared artistic ambitions. In September 2023, Grant celebrated Reeves’ birthday with a heartfelt post that told him he was "well-celebrated" and hinted at ongoing work together. "And to Keanu — who saw this post as a draft! — I am so grateful for your love and partnership. Now back to painting! xo," she wrote, signaling that their creative partnership remains active even as their personal life stays out of the spotlight.

Their public appearances have included events such as the LACMA Art + Film Gala, where they have supported each other’s projects and public-facing collaborations. Friends and industry insiders have described a long-running relationship that predates the recent chatter, with Grant later explaining that their shared work and mutual support are core to their partnership. Reeves has repeatedly expressed appreciation for Grant’s artistic sensibility, and the two have used their collaboration as a bridge between film and visual art.

As of 2025, the couple has continued to be photographed together at a variety of public occasions, including appearances that underscore their commitment to artistic work rather than a specific life milestone. In June 2025, Reeves and Grant were spotted in New York City, while observers noted that they remain a steady, quiet presence in each other’s lives. Grant publicly celebrated Reeves’ birthday and continued to promote their joint artistic endeavors, with neither publicly announcing a wedding date or a formal public milestone beyond their ongoing work.

The ongoing narrative surrounding Reeves and Grant reflects broader media interest in their relationship, but the couple’s own communications—whether through Grant’s Instagram messages or Reeves’ public comments—emphasize privacy and shared creative pursuit over sensational headlines. The latest clarification from Grant serves as a reminder that while fans often speculate about life events, the couple’s focus remains on their art, collaboration, and mutual support, a pattern that has continued for several years as they navigate their separate and joint projects in cinema and the visual arts.
