Keanu Reeves<\/strong>‘ girlfriend Alexandra Grant<\/strong> is opening up about their relationship!<\/p>\n The Matrix<\/em> star and the visual artist first met in 2011, and debuted their relationship on the red carpet in 2019 for the world to see — but aside from the small peep here and there, we never hear much about them together. They’re notoriously very private about their love life, but on Friday Alexandra gave a little insight into their partnership to People<\/em> at the Los Angeles Beverly Arts Icon Awards<\/strong>!<\/p>\n The 50-year-old told the outlet “storytelling is at the heart of what we both do,” which has been a big part of their connection:<\/p>\n “My work is much more of a private performance, but I have a text that I interpret in the studio into a painting, into an object. He takes the text in private and then turns it into a performance in public … There’s a relationship. We’re both, at the heart, readers and researchers. We both care about people and we care about characters.”<\/p>\n Their creative sides tend to cross paths, as she made a comparison of her career to that of her 59-year-old beau:<\/p>\n \u201cI think there’s a lot of similarities. Sometimes I feel like, to make a film, as we’re seeing now in the strike, that it’s a cruise ship. Everyone is dependent on everyone else. You can’t go off and — being an artist, maybe at the beginning of my career, I was in a kayak on the sea of creativity. Now maybe it’s a small speedboat, but it’s still a lot more nimble.”<\/p>\n She continued on to say the John Wick<\/em> actor thrives in stepping into different worlds — but not actually\u00a0making\u00a0<\/em>them like artists do:<\/p>\n \u201cI think that is very inspiring for him … To make a film, you require hundreds of people. To be an artist, you don’t. You require one. You require a community to get the work into the world, but not to actually make it. I think part of the inspiration is the differences of scale.”<\/p>\n Wow! A really cool way to look at their careers — they overlap in a lot of ways!<\/p>\n Because of these differences in scale, Alexandra added, their relationship is strong as they push each other to “build new roads” in life and art:<\/p>\n “…We’re pushing each other to build new roads. Seeing the other person’s problem-solving is inspiring, like, \u2018Oh, well, okay, this one, that’s a cul-de-sac. How do I try this other thing?\u2019 He’s such an inspiration to me. He’s so creative, he’s so kind. He works so hard.\u201d<\/p>\n And as far as life after she started dating the Hollywood icon? She’s gotten much “happier”:<\/p>\n \u201cI had a studio visit a few years ago, and this very kind, very high-level person said, ‘I can see that your work has gotten happier.’ That’s real. We’re all human beings. We’re animals. We’re expressing from where we are and certainly feeling happier. I think the work is happier.\u201d<\/p>\n Aww!<\/p>\n We absolutely love these two together!
