It would seem that their relationship flew under the radar for a little while. After all, the actor isn’t active on social media, so he hasn’t posted any pics of them together. Grant has never shared anything online about her boyfriend, either.
And although people who saw the couple in a social setting noticed that they were very fond of each other, it took some time for the media to realize that they were more than friends. We can look up to Reeves and Grant as an excellent example of a healthy Hollywood relationship.
Hollywood Relationships
Their relationship sparked no small measure of comment about Hollywood double standards and how women are quickly seen as “past their prime.” Age-appropriate relationships in Hollywood are so rare that they’ve become topics of intrigue and fascination.
While the Reeves-Grant relationship is a “refreshing” one, Hollywood has conditioned us to view a 55-year-old man and a 46-year-old woman as the same age.
Bonding Over Motorcycles
The Matrix star also happens to be a big fan of motorcycles – both when it comes to riding them and creating them. Reeves loves the vehicles so much that he’s amassed a pretty extensive collection as time has passed. Grant has also begun enjoying riding on motorcycles with Keanu now that they are dating.
That being said, any woman who wants to go out with the actor probably needs to have an appreciation of his passions.
Reeves' Mother
At first, people thought Grant was Reeves’ mother. Unremarkably, Grant faced plenty of ageism when news got out that she and Reeves were dating. And sometimes, while this was accidental, it was no less insensitive.
Once the actor took his mother, Patricia Taylor, to the Oscars in 2020, some photo captions misidentified his parent, claiming that she was his partner.
Spiteful Jibes
Yes, when photographs of them together began appearing on the internet, there were trolls online that unfortunately made cruel remarks, with the saying, 'Men age like wine, while women age like milk.'
Reeves has a good reputation for kindness, and he was most certainly appalled by these remarks. Since when does a woman's worth only depend on her age?
