Alexandra Grant Boyfriend: Alexandra Grant sheds new insight on her romantic relationship with Keanu Reeves! The accomplished visual artist, 50, attended the Los Angeles Beverly Arts Icon Awards on Friday without Reeves, 59, and provided a pensive response when asked if it is harder or easier to walk red carpets alone.
“The good news about falling in love as an adult is that I had built my own career by the time that my relationship had begun,” she tells. “I feel very confident in the relationship on the red carpet. I feel confident on it alone.”
“It’s interdependent and independent in the best ways,” she said.
While Grant, an honoree at the ceremony, hit the red carpet solo at The Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles, she has been photographed at several events with Reeves since the duo made their public debut as a couple in 2019.

When asked how she and the John Wick actor, who were initially friends and collaborators, interact in their respective professional environments, Grant began her response by recalling a time when she felt creatively blocked.
“In a moment of frustration in my life, I once said, ‘Sometimes I feel like a Maserati stuck in traffic,’ that I have this big engine, but, for a variety of reasons, that I couldn’t ever go,” she tells PEOPLE. “And I know a lot of people feel frustrated in their lives, that they’re not able to run their engine.”
She continues: “I think every creative person feels that way.”
Alexandra Grant Boyfriend: “What I love about Keanu and our exchange is that we’re pushing each other to build new roads,” she says. “Seeing the other person’s problem-solving is inspiring, like, ‘Oh, well, okay, this one, that’s a cul-de-sac. How do I try this other thing?’ ”
“He’s such an inspiration to me,” she continues. “He’s so creative, he’s so kind. He works so hard.”

Grant also reveals that “storytelling is at the heart” of her and her actor boyfriend’s work.
“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,” she says. “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.”
Grant then used a metaphor to compare her and Reeves’ creative realms.
“I believe there are many parallels,” she began. “Sometimes I feel like making a film is a cruise ship, as we’re seeing now with the strike. Everyone is dependent upon one another. You can’t go off and— being an artist, maybe at the outset of my career, I was in a kayak on the sea of creativity. Now it may be a small speedboat, but it is significantly more agile.”
“He’s such an inspiration to me,” she said of Reeves and the “cruise ship” nature of filmmaking.
She continues, “It takes hundreds of individuals to make a movie. To become an artist, you need not. You must have one. You need a community to release your work into the world, but not to create it. I believe the scale distinctions contribute to the inspiration.”
Since she began dating Reeves, her art has “absolutely” altered, according to Grant.
“I 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,’ ” she remembers. “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.”
Alexandra Grant Boyfriend: Grant and Reeves both devoted their Friday evenings to art. According to Grant, the Matrix actor had to forego the ceremony in order to perform with his band Dogstar.
She states, “I’m very proud.” “I am a great fan of Dogstar. I had the privilege of attending their first public performance, and because I have been listening to their most recent album for quite some time, I was one of the only audience members who knew all the lyrics. That was very impressive. It’s enjoyable. It’s a lot of joy.”
She continues, “I was dancing to all the lyrics, and then I looked around and thought, ‘Only I and a few others have heard the album.'” It’s been a genuine pleasure to see the guys reunite and be so creatively and mutually supportive.”
Grant says she is “so proud” and “happy” for Reeves’ alternative rock band, which reunited for the first time in 20 years this year.
In light of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and SAG-AFTRA strikes, she says, “I’m glad they’re able to do it” and adds, “I think it’s really great that Keanu has the ability to become a musician.”
She adds, “They had been playing music and rehearsing and had already recorded the majority of the album prior to the strike.” It opened a window of opportunity to travel further.
