Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant spoke together at event six years before getting into a relationship

They actually knew each other for quite a while before getting together

Keanu Reeves is pretty much the internet's favorite person and there's plenty of good reasons why basically everyone loves him.

However, someone we're sure loves the movie star even more than we do is his girlfriend Alexandra Grant.

The actor and artist went public about their relationship in 2019 and since then it's basically been a cavalcade of wholesome content to well and truly banish the 'sad Keanu' meme that had been kicking around online since 2010.

While it was publicly announced back in 2019, according to E! News the couple might have been together as early as 2016 as they attended the UNAIDS Gala together, though plenty of fans didn't twig at the time.

US Magazine claims they started dating in the summer of 2017, so either way it was quite a while between getting together and actually making things public.

Even if their relationship had started at around that time, Reeves and Grant had actually known each other for years already as they'd first met back in 2009 and been working together quite a bit since then.

The pair first met at a dinner party in 2009 before working together on his 2011 book Ode To Happiness, with professional artist Grant providing the pictures for the 'grown up picture book'.

They then collaborated again for his 2016 book Shadows, with Grant filling the pages with images once more.

Footage of the two speaking at an event to promote Ode To Happiness back in 2011 has resurfaced and fans have been loving the chance to see Reeves and Grant together before they actually got together.

During the talk Grant said the book's editor had been the 'magic connector' who was the reason they'd met in the first place.

Reeves said he was 'honoured' that she'd agreed to work with him on the book and people watching them together are just in love with everything about their relationship.

While Reeves has been careful to keep his relationship with Grant largely private that hasn't stopped his legion of adoring fans from stanning the couple as hard as they can, especially because he just looks so gosh darn happy when he's with her.

There have been some public displays of affection which, as you can likely imagine, has had fans basking in their joy, while Reeves has also been praised for choosing an 'age appropriate' partner unlike some other Hollywood stars.

If there's ever going to be wedding bells on the horizon it might be useful for Reeves to look into whether he's really been married to Winona Ryder all this time.

The actor admitted that on the set of Dracula there was a 'real priest' for a wedding scene so he doesn't know if he's accidentally been married all along.
