On or about Monday, actor Keanu Reeves, aged sixty-one (61), appeared publicly with his longtime partner, visual artist Alexandra Grant, aged fifty-two (52), at a red-carpet screening of his forthcoming motion picture Good Fortune, held at Lincoln Square, New York City.
During the event, Mr. Reeves and Ms. Grant, who have maintained a romantic relationship since approximately 2018, were observed engaging in public displays of affection, including a kiss on the red carpet. The couple’s appearance followed recent public speculation regarding their alleged marriage, which both parties have expressly denied.
In media interactions at the event, Mr. Reeves described the circulating marriage rumors as “a nice thing” and commended Ms. Grant for her clarity in addressing the misinformation through a public social media statement. In said statement, Ms. Grant confirmed that no marriage had taken place, emphasizing that an image shared of the couple was “simply a kiss” and not an engagement or wedding announcement.
Mr. Reeves further acknowledged that such rumors were not unprecedented and affirmed the longevity of his relationship with Ms. Grant, stating that they “have been going out for a long time.”
The actor also took the opportunity to pay tribute to his late co-star, Diane Keaton, who passed away at the age of seventy-nine (79) over the weekend. Mr. Reeves and Ms. Keaton had previously collaborated in the 2003 romantic comedy Something’s Gotta Give, and later reunited at the 2020 Academy Awards as co-presenters.
Speaking to E! News, Mr. Reeves described Ms. Keaton as “a total professional,” further praising her as a “generous artist” and a “special, unique person.” He expressed admiration for witnessing her professional rapport with co-star Jack Nicholson, noting the affection and respect evident in their interactions.
At the premiere, Mr. Reeves was attired in a chocolate-brown, pinstriped satin suit, paired with a white shirt and black tie, while Ms. Grant appeared in a royal-blue halter gown adorned with silver beading.
In late September, Ms. Grant had previously taken to Instagram to clarify the false marriage reports, writing that while she appreciated the public’s positive sentiments, “good news is much needed these days, but it’s still fake news,” and encouraged followers to “be careful out there.”
Earlier this month, she publicly celebrated Mr. Reeves’ birthday, expressing gratitude for his “love and partnership” and sharing a photograph of a heart-shaped cake bearing his name.
Mr. Reeves’ forthcoming film, Good Fortune, an action-comedy directed, produced, and co-starring Aziz Ansari, is scheduled for theatrical release on October 17. The production features an ensemble cast including Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer, Sandra Oh, Sherry Cola, and Stephen McKinley Henderson. The narrative centers on Reeves’ portrayal of an angel named Gabriel, whose failed attempt to guide a struggling worker results in his own celestial demotion.#newsafro_
