Keanu Reeves’ latest red carpet appearance sparks speculation

One small detail in beloved Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves’ latest red carpet appearance has set tongues wagging.

Actor Keanu Reeves and his longtime girlfriend Alexandra Grant made a red carpet appearance together in Los Angeles this week – and one small detail sparked speculation the pair may have secretly marked a big milestone.

Eagle-eyed celeb watchers noted that Grant was wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger. It’s not the first time fans have noticed the eye-catching detail – she was first spotted wearing the ring several months ago.

Reeves, 60, and his 52-year-old visual artist girlfriend have been quietly dating since at least 2019, when they made their first red carpet appearance together as a couple. Before that, they’d been friends since at least 2011.

Grant gave some rare comments about her relationship with Reeves when she appeared at the Los Angeles Beverly Arts Icon Awards in 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,” she told People on the red carpet, which she walked solo.

“I feel very confident in the relationship on the red carpet. I feel confident on it alone.

“It’s interdependent and independent in the best ways.”

She also opened up about what she loves most about Reeves, speaking to how they inspire one another in their careers.

“In a moment of frustration in my life, I once said, ‘Sometimes I feel like a Maserati stuck in traffic,’ that I have this big engine, but, for a variety of reasons, that I couldn’t ever go,” she began.

“What I love about Keanu and our exchange is that we’re pushing each other to build new roads.

“Seeing the other person’s problem-solving is inspiring, like, ‘Oh, well, okay, this one, that’s a cul-de-sac. How do I try this other thing?’

“He’s such an inspiration to me. He’s so creative, he’s so kind. He works so hard.”

Likewise, Reeves has been effusive in his praise in the rare times when he’s publicly discussed his relationship with Grant.

He gave a surprisingly candid answer in a 2023 interview with People when the outlet asked him to name the last time he’d felt “bliss.”

“A couple of days ago with my honey,” Reeves revealed.

“We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together.”
