Alexandra Grant Celebrates Keanu Reeves’ 61st Birthday with Sweet Gesture
Keanu Reeves celebrated his 61st birthday on September 2, 2023, and his longtime girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, marked the occasion with a heartfelt tribute. Grant shared a photo on Instagram featuring a heart-shaped cake adorned with white frosting, candles, and black and white candies. The cake was decorated with the words “KEANU X” in red gel icing. In her post, she expressed gratitude for the birthday wishes sent to Reeves, stating, “He was well-celebrated!”
In a touching message directed at Reeves, Grant acknowledged that although he does not have any social media accounts, he did see her post. “To Keanu—who saw this post as a draft!—I am so grateful for your love and partnership,” she wrote, adding a playful note about returning to her painting.
Reeves and Grant made their red carpet debut in November 2019. The actor confirmed their relationship the following year, revealing that they had spent the Covid-19 pandemic together. In an interview with Parade in August 2020, Reeves noted, “It’s been really wonderful to be with Alexandra. We enjoy each other’s company, whatever that may be.”
Love Story Blossoms
Their relationship, which began in 2009 after meeting at a dinner party, has evolved into a strong partnership. The couple has collaborated on two books, including *Ode to Happiness* in 2011 and the *Shadows* series in 2016. Together, they co-founded the publisher X Artists’ Books in 2017.
Despite attending events together for years, it wasn’t until their appearance at the 2019 LACMA Art + Film Gala that public interest in their relationship surged. Grant’s friend, actress Jennifer Tilly, remarked on this sudden attention, stating, “It’s really astonishing to me how in the last five months… everybody goes insane, like, ‘It’s his new girlfriend.’”
The couple continued to appear in public together, attending a Saint Laurent fashion show in Malibu, although their presence went largely unnoticed at the time. Their relationship garnered further attention when they attended the 2022 MOCA Gala in Los Angeles, marking their first red carpet appearance in three years.
A Heartfelt Connection
On April 15, 2023, the couple was spotted sharing a kiss on the red carpet at the 2023 MOCA Gala. Shortly before this public display of affection, Reeves shared insights into their relationship, describing a blissful moment they shared together. “A couple of days ago with my honey… We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great,” he told People.
Grant has expressed how their later-in-life romance has been fulfilling, stating in September 2023, “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.” Her confidence in their partnership resonates through their public appearances and shared experiences.
As Keanu Reeves ushers in another year, the enduring bond between him and Alexandra Grant highlights a relationship built on mutual respect, creativity, and love.
