Keanu Reeves Sets Record Straight on Wedding Whispers
Hollywood icon Keanu Reeves is once again in the spotlight, this time addressing persistent rumors that he secretly tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, artist Alexandra Grant. The John Wick star faced the speculation head-on at the recent premiere of his new film, Good Fortune, on Monday, October 13, offering a delightfully flustered, yet definitive, denial.
When an E! News reporter inquired about the alleged secret nuptials, Reeves reportedly stammered through his response with a sheepish grin and a shrug.
“Well, that wasn’t the first time, and, you know, we’ve been going out for a long time,” he began. “I mean, the wedding… it was… I mean it’s a nice thing, people did a lot of nice messages and stuff but Alexandra just did a wonderful, kind of addressing, like ‘thank you, but here’s some reality.”
His charmingly awkward reply quickly went viral, with fans across social media praising the actor for his relatable candor. Comments ranged from “He’s so awkward. Lol” to “That’s the most Keanu Reeves response ever…,” highlighting the beloved star’s unique appeal.
Reeves’s publicist had previously denied the rumors earlier this month, and Grant, 52, also weighed in on social media. The artist posted a photo of her and Reeves sharing a kiss, captioning it, “This is a real photo.
Not an engagement photo or an AI wedding announcement… simply a kiss!” She further clarified, “Thank you to everyone for the congratulations on our wedding.
Except we didn’t get married,” urging fans to be cautious of “fake news” circulating online.
The 61-year-old Matrix alum and Grant first collaborated professionally in 2011 on the book Ode to Happiness, which Grant illustrated. They continued their creative partnership with Shadows in 2016 before making their public debut as a couple at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in 2019. Despite the ongoing speculation, it appears this beloved Hollywood couple is happy just as they are, without any secret vows.
