Nov 06, 2019 by apost team

Keanu Reeves, 58, stepped out on the red carpet last week with artist Alexandra Grant, 46, at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles. The pair smiled for the cameras while they held hands, sparking rumors of a romantic relationship.

The woman of mystery is an LA-based artist who creates text-based artworks and according to The New York Times, the two met at a dinner party in 2009. Since then they became business partners and friends, and collaborated on a 2011 book, “Ode to Happiness.” They later collaborated on an intimate book of poetry called "Shadows" in 2016 featuring photos of Keanu's silhouette.

They also built a publishing house together, X Artists’ Books, that is described on their website as “a small publisher of thoughtful, high-quality, artist-centered books that fit within and between genres”.

According to her own website, she grew up around the world in Spain, France, and Mexico. Her upbringing must have been the inspiration for her attraction to the written word, and as an artist, she incorporates text into her work.

"I grew up in part in Mexico City, Washington, DC, and Paris, moving between languages and cultures," she told LA Weekly in a profile. "Los Angeles felt like home from the moment I first arrived in 1995, especially the diversity of people, idioms, foods, and plants (like jacaranda and bougainvillea). There’s an incredible work ethic here—many people are creative and entrepreneurial. Having friends who are working hard practicing their crafts—whether it’s set design, publishing, or acting—is very inspiring."

Her paintings and sculptures have been displayed in prestigious spaces such as MOCA and LACMA in Los Angeles, and Galerie Gradiva in Paris.

Grant is also the initiator behind the grantLOVE project, a project that has fundraised for various non-profits and artists in LA. Apart from their love for art, Keanu and Alexandra must bond over their philanthropy and giving initiatives.

“Keanu wants to openly share his life with her,” a source told People. “He is extremely happy and grateful to have Alex in his life.”

It would seem that Keanu has found a great match in the creative, smart, and driven Alexandra Grant. It is no wonder that people are supporting the new couple and giving them lots of kudos online.
