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?
A Healthy Relationship
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.
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.
Plenty of Strings on Her Bow
Alexandra is unfazed by these comments as she keeps herself busy with many creative pursuits. Grant directed a film back in 2015, she worked with the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art to direct a documentary film called "Taking Lena Home."
As if that wasn't enough, Grant is entitled to officiate them; in August 2019, she posted pics to her Instagram page that showed her officiating a couple of her friends' wedding.
Reeves’ Mom Likes Grant
Reeves's mom, Patricia Taylor luckily likes her son’s new love interest. In February 2020, an anonymous source told Life & Style that Keanu Reeves and his girlfriend regularly meet up with his mother and go for coffee together.
They added that Reeves was “extremely close” to his mom – but knowing Keanu, would we expect it to be any other way?
