Relearning to Skate: Keanu’s Journey on Ice
At 61 years old, Keanu Reeves challenged himself by stepping back onto the ice after giving up ice hockey during his teenage years. Alexandra Grant explained the difficulty involved as he transitioned away from hockey skates to figure skates, highlighting the challenge of mastering the tricky toe picks used in figure skating.
Getting back on ice after a few decades and moving from hockey skates to figure skates and *#$%@* toe picks is no joke!

The Couple’s Relationship Milestones Over the Years
Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant’s partnership dates back to 2009 when they met at a dinner party and later collaborated on artistic projects, including two books and a publishing company they co-founded. Despite their longstanding connection, much of their romance remained private for several years.
They made early public appearances together at high-profile events such as the UNAIDS Gala during Art Basel in 2016 and the Saint Laurent fashion show in Malibu in 2019, though these moments initially did not attract widespread media attention.
It’s really astonishing to me how in the last five months, all of a sudden, she goes to an event with him and everybody goes insane, like, ‘It’s his new girlfriend,’ because she had gone to a lot of events with him,
said Jennifer Tilly, a friend of Alexandra’s, commenting on the sudden public interest.
It’s just suddenly surfaced that he’s been dating her for several years.

The Relationship Becomes Publicly Recognized
Their romantic relationship gained significant attention when they walked hand-in-hand at the 2019 LACMA Art + Film Gala. Alexandra later reflected on how unexpectedly viral that appearance had become, bringing their once-private bond into the public eye.
I think every single person I knew called me in the first week of November, and that’s fascinating,
Alexandra told Vogue in 2020.
But the question I’ve been asking in all of this is: ‘What is the opportunity for good?’

Affection Displayed on Red Carpets and in Public
Following their increased visibility, the couple continued making appearances together at notable art and film events. In 2022, they attended the MOCA Gala in Los Angeles, marking their first red carpet outing in three years. In April 2023, they shared a rare public kiss on the red carpet at the same gala, showcasing their deepening connection.
Keanu opened up about his relationship in a recent interview, describing a cozy and joyful moment with Alexandra that illuminated the strength of their bond.
A couple of days ago with my honey,
Keanu 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.
