Keanu Reeves addressed the ongoing Keanu Reeves marriage rumors during the New York City premiere of his film Good Fortune on Monday, October 13. The actor acknowledged the circulating gossip about a possible secret wedding to his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, while maintaining a calm stance regarding the reports.
At 61 years old, Reeves confirmed that such rumors have appeared before, explaining,
“Well, that wasn’t the first time,”
before adding,
“We’ve been going out for a long time.”
He also expressed appreciation for the kind messages from fans, noting,
“The wedding, it’s a nice thing. People did a lot of nice messages and stuff, but Alexandra just did a wonderful [job] addressing, like, ‘Thank you, but here’s the reality.’”
Official Statements Dispel Marriage Claims
Both Keanu Reeves’ and Alexandra Grant’s representatives have repeatedly dismissed claims that the couple has married. Reeves’ spokesperson firmly stated on September 22,
“It is not true. They are not married.”
Following this, Grant herself took to Instagram to clarify and debunk the rumors with a candid post featuring a candid photo of her sharing a kiss with Reeves.
In her caption, Grant wrote,
“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!) We’re at Roden Crater, and Keanu and Gard had just finished interviewing James Turrell for Visionaries,”
highlighting that the image was not connected with any wedding announcement.
She further cautioned fans about false information, saying,
“I’m sharing it here to say thank you to everyone for the congratulations on our wedding. Except we didn’t get married. 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!”
Public Appearances Reflect Their Relationship Status
Despite the speculation about marriage, Reeves and Grant appeared publicly together at the Good Fortune premiere, showcasing their close relationship. The couple walked the red carpet hand in hand, sharing affectionate moments in front of the AMC Lincoln Square Theater audience in New York City. Reeves wore an elegant brown suit, while Grant dazzled in a sapphire-colored sleeveless dress adorned with silver details around the neckline.
This glamorous outing came only two weeks after their similarly affectionate appearance on the red carpet outside the Hudson Theatre during the opening night of Reeves’ play Waiting for Godot, where they were seen holding hands and posing for photographs.
Background on Their Relationship Journey
Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant first met in 2009 but kept their relationship private for years. They publicly acknowledged their partnership in 2019 after attending the LACMA Art + Film Gala together in November, marking a significant moment in their relationship’s visibility.
The couple has remained discreet about their personal lives overall, though Grant has occasionally shared glimpses of their bond. For instance, on Reeves’ 61st birthday in September, she posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, thanking followers for their kind birthday wishes toward Reeves and noting,
“Keanu isn’t on any social media platforms and doesn’t see posts or memes unless someone who is shows him.”
Grant also added,
“And to Keanu – who saw this post as a draft! – I am so grateful for your love and partnership. Now back to painting! xo,”
expressing her affection openly while maintaining their privacy.
Significance of Their Relationship Amid Public Speculation
The persistent rumors surrounding Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant’s marital status underscore the intense public interest in the couple’s private life. Despite the confusion and speculation, their clear statements and visible interactions reflect a steady, committed partnership rather than a rushed union.
As Reeves continues to promote his projects, including new films and stage performances, and Grant maintains her career as a visual artist, their relationship appears grounded despite the surrounding hype. This balance between privacy and public life highlights the challenges celebrities face regarding personal rumors and media attention.
The couple’s response to the marriage rumors reinforces the importance of verifying information before accepting it, reminding fans that not all reports reflect true events. Their ongoing appearances and collaborative public engagements suggest their focus remains on both personal happiness and professional endeavors.
