Keanu Reeves’ partner Alexandra Grant has offered rare insight into their long-term relationship.
The 53-year-old visual artist, who has accompanied the actor to red carpet events over the years, opened up about the topic to People this week as she celebrated the launch of her LOVEwine brand.
Grant and the John Wick star, 61, went public with their romance in 2019 after first crossing paths a decade earlier.
‘He’s always so appreciative, so he’s always cautious, I think, with feedback, and I would say the same,’ she gushed of Reeves while discussing their work.
Grant expressed that both she and Reeves have ‘mutual respect’ for the work that they do and share a ‘belief in projects.’
‘Every project has its own autonomy, its own team, it has its own sort of rules, and it has a beginning, middle and end,’ she said. ‘So we both are people who do projects, and you know, I’ve lived with John Wick, I’ve lived with Neo.’

Reeves is known for his role as legendary assassin John Wick as well as Neo from the hit 1999 movie The Matrix.
Grand explained that when the actor is ‘in a character,’ she has ‘so much respect for that understanding that this is the middle to the end of a project, right?’
‘And I think the same goes for painting,’ she continued, while adding that when she is working on a project, she is ‘fully in it.’
And while painting is not like playing a character, Grant noted that it is still ‘a form of performance too.’
She also gave a glimpse into whether the couple are ever involved in each other’s creative projects.
‘You want to always be respectful and leave the other person to bake their cake. Just talking about my love makes me sweat,’ the artist told the outlet.
Grant shared that both she and Reeves can ‘talk about any problem or challenge or creative idea and talk about it forever if that is needed.’
However, they also ‘respect the individual need to dive deep and have a process that’s maybe quiet or in another collaboration.’

Grant previously opened up about the reaction she received upon going public with her romance with Reeves.
‘I think every single person I knew called me in the first week of November, and that’s fascinating,’ she told Vogue in 2020.
‘But the question I’ve been asking in all of this is: “What is the opportunity for good?”‘ the artist continued.
The actor has also made rare comments about their relationship over the years.
When he was asked by People to share his ‘last moment of bliss’ in 2023, the Speed star replied, ‘A couple of days ago with my honey.
‘We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together.’
Last year, Reeves offered the secret to their long-lasting relationship.
‘Sharing, communicating, you know, supporting,’ he told E! News at the time.
