Users Say There Is 'Zero Chemistry' between Keanu Reeves & His Girlfriend in New Pics – 5 Times We Spotted Them Kiss

In the world of celebrity relationships, Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant stand out for their discreet yet genuine displays of affection. Some people have criticized the couple for lacking chemistry and affection. However, they've been spotted several times sharing moments of tenderness, such as goodbye kisses at events and sweet greetings on film sets.

Keanu Reeves, renowned for his iconic roles in "The Matrix," "John Wick," and more, has managed to build a successful career while keeping his private life out of the limelight.

However, in 2019, Reeves opened a window into his personal life when he went public with his longtime girlfriend, Alexandra Grant. Before the world knew they were an item, Reeves and Grant had been together since 2011.

The couple's partnership began with their collaboration on Reeves' book, "Ode to Happiness," where Grant's illustrations brought his words to life.

This was a new experience for both—his first book and her first time illustrating one. They teamed up again for another book in 2016 called "Shadows," which further solidified their bond through art.

Their deepening collaboration set the stage for a more public acknowledgment of their relationship. In 2019 they appeared together as a couple for the first time at the LACMA Art + Film Gala.

The news caught everyone's attention, and Alexandra humorously noted, "I think every single person I knew called me in the first week of November, and that's fascinating."

Since making their relationship public, the couple has been spotted out together a few times. They were photographed going out on a dinner date in Los Angeles with one of Reeves' co-stars, Alex Winter, who was accompanied by his wife, Ramsey Ann Naito, and son, Leroy Winter.

The couple had their masks on and showed up to the dinner in all-black outfits. Grant wore a shiny black college jacket with black pants and shoes. While Reeves wore a black shirt and pants with the same color blazer and brown shoes.

Their public relationship also sparked an interest in Grant's life. She comes from an academic family and had an international upbringing, living in places like Mexico City, Paris, and Washington, D.C.

Grant knew from a young age that she wanted to be an artist. She describes herself as someone driven by curiosity, which defines her approach to art and life.

In one of her interviews, Grant shared how being with Reeves made her happier, which even showed in her artwork. She said, "I had a studio visit a few years ago, and this very kind, very high-level person said, 'I can see that your work has gotten happier. That's real. We're expressing from where we are. I think the work is happier."

Although she and Reeves both have artistic backgrounds, their works are still very different but connected in many ways. When speaking about her work, Grant said it is more of a "private performance" because she takes a text and turns it into a painting. Meanwhile, Reeves takes a "private" text and turns it into a public performance.

"There's a relationship. We're both at heart readers and researchers. We both care about people and we care about characters," the artist further explained.

As one can tell, Grant is an established artist with a lot of experience. Therefore, she mentioned that one of the perks of falling in love as an adult is that she gets to step into a relationship with an established career.

"I feel very confident in the relationship on the red carpet. I feel confident in it alone. It's interdependent and independent in the best ways," she expressed.

The couple both find themselves attending multiple events through their work, but in their private lives, they actually prefer to stay home. A close source said, "They're both homebodies. They'd much rather entertain at home. They often have friends over for dinner. It's always the best."

While the couple rarely share details about their relationship, there have been moments when they have gushed over one another. In one interview, Reeves looked back on the quiet days they had together.

"A couple of days ago with my honey. We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together," gushed the actor.

Grant also loves to highlight the positive impact on her life. "He's such an inspiration to me. He's so creative, he's so kind. He works so hard," she said. Despite their evident connection and shared interests, the public's perception of their chemistry has varied.

For instance, some commenters struggled to see the chemistry between them while they posed at the 2024 MOCA Gala. The couple was looking dapper, with Reeves wearing a gray suit with brown shoes, and Grant turning heads with a teal cut-out dress.

However, one commenter remarked, "There's zero chemistry between these two," and another added, "No vibes as a couple. Others even thought that Grant was older than Reeves despite her being younger than the actor.

"He is 59 going on 40 and she is 54 going on 70. They are not a match at all. No chemistry, spark or affection," one commenter said.

More readers kept emphasizing that Grant’s gray strands made her look older. Some commenters even said that Reeves looked sad and needed a younger woman to make him "feel alive again."

Despite what the public has to say, the couple has been captured sharing a few intimate moments in public. One of these occasions was at the MOCA Gala in 2023. The couple posed for the cameras and shared a kiss on the carpet.

Grant showed up in a long red dress with flowers and let down her short grey hair. The dress showed off her shoulders, and Reeves complimented her with a black suit with red and white stripes

The other occasion was more recent. Grant was seen visiting Reeves on set as he’s currently shooting "Good Fortune." The artist was caught on video looking particularly excited to see her partner and greeted him with a sweet kiss.

In another instance, when Reeves was rocking a buzz cut, the couple was also captured sharing a quick goodbye kiss through a car window.

The goodbye kisses seem to be a ritual for the couple, as they were caught on camera again giving each other a kiss through a car window while Reeves was filming "The Matrix 4."

A more recent kiss was at the MOCA Gala, where the couple smooched right in front of the cameras. Although some commenters thought there was no chemistry between the two, some people find the couple absolutely adorable.

One reader wrote, "There is a lot to love about Keanu." and proceeded to highlight that it was rare to see actors dating people their age. "They look fantastic," the netizen continued.

More people loved that Grant was an age-appropriate woman and that Reeves did not need a younger woman to feel relevant. "I love that Keanu is confident in himself where he’s at and what’s around him," shared a commenter. While others praised Grant for having a gentle face and a pretty smile.

Despite mixed reactions from the public, Reeves and Grant's relationship is a testament to their deep connection and shared values. Their journey from working together on books to becoming life partners shows a strong bond based on respect and shared creative interests.

While some focus on their age difference and public appearances, those close to the couple see their genuine love and admiration for each other. As they describe their relationship, it is clear that Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant's connection is about finding joy and fulfillment in each other's company, not about public approval.
