Everything Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant Have Said About Their Relationship

The couple, who made their red carpet debut in 2019, have remained relatively mum about their relationship — with the exception of a few occasions

Ever since Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant went public with their relationship back in 2019, the couple has made headlines each time they hit a red carpet. And while the Matrix actor and the visual artist generally keep their relationship out of the spotlight, they have, on occasion, let fans in on their love.

See everything Reeves and Grant have said about their relationship in recent years.

Grant on Their Artistic Connection

While at the Los Angeles Beverly Arts Icon Awards in September 2023, Grant opened up about one of the connecting factors of the pair's relationship: storytelling.

"My work is much more of a private performance, but I have a text that I interpret in the studio into a painting, into an object," Grant explained to PEOPLE. "He takes the text in private and then turns it into a performance in public."

"There's a relationship," she added. "We're both, at the heart, readers and researchers. We both care about people and we care about characters."

Grant on How Reeves Has Changed Her Art

At the same event, where she was an honoree, Grant also revealed the John Wick actor has "absolutely" changed her art — in the best way possible.

“I had a studio visit a few years ago, and this very kind, very high-level person said, 'I can see that your work has gotten happier,’ ” she remembered. “That's real. We're all human beings. We're animals. We're expressing from where we are and certainly feeling happier. I think the work is happier.”

Grant on Feeling Happy to Have Fallen in Love as An Adult

Walking the Icon Awards red carpet solo, the visual artist was asked if it is harder or easier to tackle red carpets alone, to which she replied: “The good news about falling in love as an adult is that I had built my own career by the time that my relationship had begun. I feel very confident in the relationship on the red carpet. I feel confident on it alone.”

"It's interdependent and independent in the best ways,” she concluded.

Grant on How the Two Push Each Other

Grant also told PEOPLE that what she "love(s) about Keanu and our exchange is that we're pushing each other to build new roads."

"Seeing the other person's problem-solving is inspiring, like, ‘Oh, well, okay, this one, that's a cul-de-sac. How do I try this other thing?’ ” Grant added. “He's such an inspiration to me. He's so creative, he's so kind. He works so hard.”

Reeves on Finding Bliss with His 'Honey'

During a sit-down interview with PEOPLE in March 2023, Keanu Reeves was asked about his last moment of bliss and gave this sweet response: "A couple of days ago with my honey."

"We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together," he concluded.

Grant on How People Reacted to Their Relationship

Grant addressed her romance with Reeves for the first time in March 2020, opening up to Vogue about the attention she received once they went public with their relationship.

"I think every single person I knew called me in the first week of November, and that's fascinating," she said at the time. "But the question I've been asking in all of this is: 'What is the opportunity for good?' "

Grant on Her Stance on Marriage

Grant proved to be quite the media pro when Vogue questioned her about the idea of marriage, simply saying, "Over a glass of wine … I would love to tell you."

"Love at every level is deeply important to my identity. How's that for dodging the question?" she continued. "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."

Reeves on Fighting for His Love

Reeves opened up a bit about his philosophy on love while on The Drew Barrymore Show.

After the talk show host declared, "I'm not a fighter, I'm a lover," Reeves stopped her in her tracks, saying, "No. No. Because if you're a lover, you gotta be a fighter." Urged to explain, the actor proceeded, saying, "If you don't fight for your love, what kind of love do you have?"
