Keanu Reeves and longtime partner Alexandra Grant are not married — despite the internet buzz suggesting otherwise. The 52-year-old artist took to Instagram on Wednesday to clear the air in a post that was both heartfelt and humorously self-aware.
Grant shared a candid photo of her and Reeves sharing a kiss while visiting Roden Crater, a large-scale art installation in Arizona created by artist James Turrell. The couple appeared relaxed and happy, sitting close together in the desert setting.
“This is a real photo. Not an engagement photo or an AI wedding announcement… simply a kiss! (Albeit maybe the moment right before or after it… given the slightly goofy expressions on our faces!),” Grant wrote in the caption.
She went on to thank fans for the warm wishes that had poured in after rumors of their wedding began circulating online. “I’m sharing it here to say thank you to everyone for the congratulations on our wedding,” she wrote. “Except we didn’t get married.”
Acknowledging the viral nature of the fake news, Grant added a gentle reminder for followers to stay vigilant. “Good news is much needed these days, but it’s still fake news, so be careful out there! So, here’s a bit of real happiness!”
The couple first went public with their relationship in November 2019 when they appeared hand-in-hand on the red carpet at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles. Since then, the two have made occasional public appearances together and haven’t shied away from showing affection — most recently in April 2024, when Reeves was photographed kissing Grant, eyes open, at the Museum of Contemporary Art Gala in L.A.
Despite Reeves’ global fame, Grant has made it very clear that she values her own independence. In a rare interview with People in September 2023, she opened up about their relationship and her admiration for the “Matrix” star.
“He’s such an inspiration to me,” she said at the time. “He’s so creative, so kind. He works so hard.”
Grant also highlighted the benefit of finding love later in life, saying, “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.”
While Reeves, 61, remains one of Hollywood’s most beloved and private stars, the couple’s enduring bond continues to captivate fans. Their latest social media moment — even if sparked by false rumors — gave followers a rare glimpse into their private joy.
Grant’s lighthearted post was met with supportive comments and relief from fans who appreciated the clarification. Many praised her sense of humor and the couple’s clear affection for one another.
While the wedding bells may not be ringing just yet, one thing is clear: Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant are very much in love — and that’s real news.
