THE PICTURE

Theron chose a picture with an endearing backstory to wish the actor a Happy Birthday, as it was taken during the Palm Springs International Film Festival in 2006.

BIRTHDAY WISHES

Alongside the fourteen-year-old picture, Theron shared a heartwarming message in celebration of her longtime friend's birthday, as she wrote:

“I love this handsome human so much! Happy birthday, Keanu. You’re just the best!”

SINGLE NO MORE

The couple became red carpet official for the first time in November last year, when they showed up at the LACMA Art + Film Gala holding hands. During a later interview with Vogue, Grant elaborated on her relationship with Reeves, sharing that she found people's response to their relationship rather "fascinating."

Theron, on the other hand, just celebrated her 45th birthday. The "Old Guard" star celebrated her birthday early in August, and she joked that her mom fell asleep five minutes into her virtual birthday party.
