Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant may not be the flashiest couple in Hollywood, nor the most controversial or outspoken. They certainly don’t seek attention or engage in publicity stunts to stay in the limelight. Yet, there’s something undeniably endearing about them.
The 54-year-old couple often make headlines when they appear together on red carpets, and almost every piece of coverage about them is overwhelmingly positive. They have no interest in creating drama or playing up to cameras—what you see is what you get. There’s a refreshing down-to-earth quality about them, a rarity in the glittering world of Hollywood. Their genuine connection and clear affection for each other make their appearances a joy to witness.
Yet, even with such a wholesome public image, the couple isn’t immune to criticism.
Recently, they attended the MOCA Gala, where Alexandra wore a striking teal cut-out dress that contrasted with Keanu’s dark suit and scarf ensemble. While many complimented her look, some critics focused on the wrinkles in her dress, voicing their disapproval.
One person commented, “Her dress was completely wrinkled. I can’t believe it. Why didn’t she steam it?” Another added, “Well, at least she is a woman; iron your dress.” A third remark criticized the couple’s appearance, saying, “The rich and famous have everything they could want and still insist on dressing sloppy. As if to say, ‘I’m down to earth.’ COME ON!!!” And one cruelly wrote, “Keanu and his mother.”
Keanu and Alexandra’s relationship began in 2009 after meeting at a dinner party. They later collaborated on the 2011 book Ode to Happiness, with Reeves as the author and Grant as the illustrator. Although they kept their romance private for years, they made their official debut as a couple in 2019 at the LACMA Art + Film Gala presented by Gucci.
Known for their quiet, low-key lifestyle, the couple reportedly prefers spending time at home rather than attending lavish events. Close sources describe them as “homebodies,” cherishing private moments and prioritizing what truly matters in their lives.
