IT'S NEITHER DENIED NOR CONFIRMED

While the actor has not confirmed or denied the existence of a relationship, the fact that the two are romantically involved was glaring as they walked, holding hands at the red carpet for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) + Film Gala.

Reeves wore a dark suit that is best described as a "John Wick" inspired outfit, while Grant, who proudly wears her gray hair, stunned in midnight blue gown, with a deep V-neck, and silver flats.

As their friendship blossomed, the actor and the artist collaborated on "Shadows"

Although their appearance at the Los Angeles event caught a lot of attention, it's not the first time the two are stepping out in public.

In June, the couple attended the St. Lauren Men's Spring-Summer 2020 runway show holding hands. They met back in 2009 at an event in New York and connected through their mutual love of the arts.

IT STARTED AS A PLATONIC RELATIONSHIP

In 2011, Reeves and Grant worked together on his adult picture book, "Ode to Happiness," which is a meditation and a gentle tease about how people cope with life's sorrows.

The former provided the words while the latter created the illustrations. As their friendship blossomed, the actor and the artist collaborated on "Shadows," which had images taken by the Ohio native while the Beirut-born actor had poetry written by him.

The Los Angeles resident's passion for the arts came from a personal quest to understand how languages and images influence how people think and exchange ideas.

GRANTS SUCCESS MIRRORS REEVES

Search for success took the woman who grew up in Mexico, Spain, and France to the prestigious Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania.

Today, Grant has shown her work in prominent galleries like the LACMA, the Galerie Gravida in Paris, The Harris Lieberman Gallery in New York, and based on an Instagram post, she is currently showing at the backroom of Lowell Ryan Projects.

In all the successes that Reeves enjoyed, his private life remained a closed topic

The artist's success mirrors that of Reeves, who rose to prominence after starring in the three installments of the "Matrix" as "Neo."

The "The Devil's Advocate" star has since starred in different high and low budget movies and experienced box-office successes and hits.

EYES FOR EACH OTHER ONLY

Recently, the actor who is dubbed, "The Internet boyfriend," appeared in the third chapter of the "John Wick" movie, as himself in the Netflix comedy, "Always Be Maybe," and in the animation movie, "Toy Story 4."

In all the successes that Reeves enjoyed, his private life remained a closed topic, which is why his new relationship with Grant took his fans by surprise.

The "The Day Earth Stood Still" star's last public romance was with Jennifer Syme. The two met in '98; by '99, they were expecting a baby.

At eight months, the baby, a girl, whose name would have been Ava, came out as a stillborn, and the loss of the child brought an end to the relationship. The ex-couple stayed friends until Syme's death in 2001 from a car crash.

Before and after his relationship with the deceased actress, Reeves got linked with Hollywood stars like Jill Schoelen, Sofia Coppola, Claire Forlani, and he once admitted to having a crush on Sandra Bullock.

Presently, the actor's only romantic interest is Grant, and if the PDA they shared on the red carpet is anything to go by, the two have eyes only for each other and are happily in love.
