Keanu Reeves shared a heartfelt moment about his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, as the couple stepped out for a glamorous date night at the Los Angeles premiere of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 on Monday, December 16.
The event, held at the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre, marked a rare red carpet-appearance for the couple, who have been together for over five years. Reeves, known for his effortless style, looked sharp in an all-black suit, while Grant stunned in a black gown with intricate silver detailing, accessorized with a matching silver clutch.
Reeves, who lends his voice to the film’s villain Shadow the Hedgehog, opened up to Entertainment Tonight about the excitement of the evening and the joy of sharing it with his partner. “We got dolled up and it was very exciting and just kind of nerve-wracking in the car, getting out,” Reeves said, reflecting on the special night.
The John Wick actor went on to express how meaningful it was to have Grant by his side. “It’s really special to be side by side,” he shared, clearly moved by their bond. Reeves also couldn’t help but gush over Grant’s radiant appearance for the premiere, adding, “The heart just opens.”
The couple, who have kept their relationship largely private, began dating in 2019 after years of friendship and professional collaboration. Their shared love of the arts—Grant is an acclaimed visual artist—has been a cornerstone of their enduring connection.
Grant and Reeves first crossed paths through their creative work, co-authoring Ode to Happiness in 2011 and Shadows in 2016, projects that combined his words with her striking illustrations. Their friendship eventually blossomed into a romantic partnership, capturing the admiration of fans for its sincerity and understated charm.
Reeves’ affectionate comments underscore the depth of his relationship with Grant, further cementing the couple as a fan-favorite pair in Hollywood.
As the Sonic 3 premiere showcased both his professional success and personal joy, Reeves’ words serve as a reminder of his grounded nature and genuine appreciation for the people in his life.
