“This Is A Real Photo”: Keanu Reeves’ Girlfriend Breaks Her Silence On Marriage Rumors

Alexandra Grant has set the record straight about her relationship with Keanu Reeves.

The longtime lovebirds have been hit with rampant speculation about having secretly tied the knot.

Although the couple is notorious for keeping their personal life private, Alexandra made a rare comment about their marital status on social media.

Alexandra Grant shared a photograph this week, capturing a candid, affectionate moment between her and Keanu Reeves.

The couple locked lips against a striking background of the East Portal at Roden Crater in Flagstaff, Arizona.

“This is a real photo. Not an engagement photo or an AI wedding announcement… simply a kiss! (Albeit maybe the moment right before or after it… given the slightly goofy expressions on our faces!),” the artist said.

She explained that the photo was clicked after Keanu and Gard Hollinger, his friend and ARCH co-founder, finished taking an interview.

“We’re at Roden Crater, and Keanu and Gard had just finished interviewing James Turrell for Visionaries,” she said.

Alexandra then thanked everyone for the recent flood of congratulatory messages before clarifying whether they had tied the knot.

“I’m sharing it here to say thank you to everyone for the congratulations on our wedding. Except we didn’t get married,” she said.

“Good news is much needed these days, but it’s still fake news, so be careful out there!” she added. “So, here’s a bit of real happiness!”

Keanu’s publicist addressed the speculation this week as rumors about the couple having walked down the aisle swirled.

“It is not true,” the publicist told E! News in a Sept. 22 statement.

“They are not married,” they added.

The couple first crossed paths at a 2009 dinner party and have since collaborated on two art books.

Over time, their friendship turned into romance, and they made their red carpet debut in 2019 during the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Art+Film Gala.

An insider said at the time that the pair had “started dating earlier this year, but have wanted to keep it quiet.”

“Keanu wants to openly share his life with her. He is extremely happy and grateful to have Alex in his life,” the source told People in 2019.

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

A source called Alexandra a “rare gem” last year and said Keanu is “very happy” with her.

“This is the most fun and positive relationship that Keanu has ever been in,” they told People last year.

“She is adorable, sweet, caring, and funny. She has her own life and career but is also very supportive of Keanu’s,” they went on to say. “When he films on location, she travels with him. When he films locally, she often visits the set.”

“Everyone just loves her. They live together and often have friends over for dinner. Keanu is very happy,” they added.

Alexandra also said she felt “interdependent and independent in the best ways” with the John Wick star.

“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,” she said. “I feel very confident in the relationship on the red carpet. I feel confident on it alone.”
