Keanu Reeves and his longtime love, Alexandra Grant, made quite the statement on the red carpet in New York City — and it wasn’t about wedding rings.
The couple, who have been together for seven years, looked more in love than ever as they shared a kiss in front of photographers while attending the premiere of Keanu’s upcoming movie, Good Fortune.
A Public Display of Affection Amid Marriage Speculation
Despite a whirlwind of rumors claiming the two had secretly tied the knot, the 61-year-old Matrix star and his 52-year-old artist girlfriend appeared unfazed by the chatter.
Walking hand-in-hand at Lincoln Square on Monday night, the couple laughed and leaned in for a kiss, silencing speculation in the sweetest way possible.
Keanu later told reporters that while the marriage rumors were untrue, he didn’t take them too seriously.
“The wedding thing—it’s a nice thing,” he said warmly.
“People sent us a lot of kind messages, but Alexandra handled it beautifully.”
Alexandra Grant’s Calm and Classy Response
Last month, Grant took to Instagram to set the record straight after social media buzzed with false claims that she and Reeves had quietly gotten married.
Posting a romantic photo of the two sharing a kiss at one of her art installations, she captioned it, “This is a real photo.
Not an engagement photo or an AI wedding announcement… simply a kiss!”
She continued playfully, “I’m sharing it to say thank you for all the congratulations on our wedding—except we didn’t get married! Good news is much needed these days, but this one’s fake news. So here’s a little real happiness instead.”
Her message won fans over for its honesty and humor, showing once again why she and Keanu make such a down-to-earth pair.
Compliments and Chemistry on the Red Carpet
At the premiere, Keanu looked sharp in a chocolate-brown satin suit with subtle pinstripes, a crisp white shirt, and a black tie.
Alexandra, always elegant, complemented him in a royal blue halter gown adorned with silver-beaded detailing along the neckline.
The couple’s coordinated looks made them one of the evening’s standout pairs.
When asked about how his girlfriend handled the marriage rumors, Keanu couldn’t stop praising her.
“That wasn’t the first time,” he admitted.
“We’ve been together a long time, and she’s just wonderful at addressing things with kindness and clarity.”
A Tender Tribute to Diane Keaton
During the same event, Keanu also took a moment to pay tribute to his late co-star Diane Keaton, who sadly passed away over the weekend at age 79.
The two shared the screen in the beloved 2003 romantic comedy Something’s Gotta Give and later reunited to present an award together at the 2020 Oscars.
“She was a total pro,” Keanu told E! News. “She was so generous and kind—a really unique, special person.
Watching her and Jack Nicholson together back then was amazing. You could feel the love and history between them.”
A Love That’s Grounded in Real Life
Keanu and Alexandra’s relationship began in 2018, though their friendship and creative collaborations go back even further.
They’ve built a partnership that blends romance and mutual respect, often keeping their private life low-key despite their Hollywood status.
Earlier this month, Alexandra shared a sweet birthday post for Keanu, writing, “To Keanu — who saw this post as a draft! — I am so grateful for your love and partnership.”
The message, alongside a heart-shaped birthday cake with his name on it, melted hearts across social media.
Inside Keanu’s New Movie Good Fortune
While the couple’s red carpet appearance drew attention, Keanu was also there to celebrate his latest project, Good Fortune.
The action-comedy, directed and produced by Aziz Ansari, hits theaters on October 17 and features an impressive cast that includes Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer, Sandra Oh, Sherry Cola, and Stephen McKinley Henderson.
In the film, Keanu plays Gabriel, a well-meaning but clumsy angel who tries to teach a struggling gig worker (played by Ansari) that money can’t buy happiness.
But when Gabriel’s plan backfires, he ends up losing his wings and watches his celestial mission fall apart.
Still One of Hollywood’s Most Beloved Couples
As Keanu and Alexandra continue to navigate life and love in the public eye, their relationship remains refreshingly authentic.
Whether they’re walking the red carpet, collaborating on art projects, or simply sharing small moments of joy online, they remind everyone that true partnership isn’t about the headlines — it’s about connection, trust, and laughter.
And judging by their smiles in New York City, Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant have found exactly that.
