The enigmatic woman who accompanied Keanu Reeves during a recent dinner outing has been identified as Alexandra Grant, a Los Angeles-based artist and photographer, as revealed by DailyMail.com. Reeves, 53, appeared to be in good spirits as he exited Madeo, a romantic Italian restaurant in West Hollywood, alongside the striking silver-haired Grant, 44.
Their association traces back several years, initially collaborating on the creation of a picture book titled “Ode to Happiness” in 2011.
The success of their first project led to the development of their second book, “Shadows,” in 2016, with Grant capturing Reeves’s imagery during the filming of John Wick. Their professional partnership has extended to various ventures, including appearances at art exhibitions, book signings, and even a feature in Vogue Spain, along with joint projects in Germany
. Grant, hailing from Fairview Park, Ohio, describes herself as a text-based artist, known for her utilization of language and networks of words in painting, drawing, and sculpture. Her works have been showcased in esteemed venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the Contemporary Museum in Baltimore, both domestically and internationally.
Their collaboration on “Shadows” involved meticulous attention to detail, as Grant remarked in an interview with W Magazine, emphasizing their shared passion for perfection. The book comprises evocative silhouette images of Reeves, accompanied by poetry authored by the actor himself.
During their casual Monday night outing, Reeves sported a relaxed ensemble, while Grant opted for an all-black attire, accentuated with minimal makeup and a dash of red lipstick. Their joyful demeanor contrasted with Reeves’s typically reserved disposition, famously depicted in the “Sad Keanu” meme that circulated in 2010.
Despite occasional rumors linking Reeves to various individuals, including transgender actress Jamie Clayton in 2015, the actor remаins notoriously private about his personal life.
His enduring status as a Hollywood icon is underscored by his acclaimed performances and unwavering popularity, with Charlize Theron attesting to his exceptional skills while training for her film “Atomic Blonde.” Reeves is set to reprise his role as a formidable hitman in “John Wick 3,” slated for release in 2019, further solidifying his status as one of the industry’s most revered action stars.
