The actor has used his money to help finance cancer research and children’s hospitals, among other philanthropic pursuits. What is most remarkable of all, he’s kept all of this pretty much secret. It seems that they are very well matched in this regard. In 2008, the artist formed the grantLOVE project, which uses artwork and jewelry to benefit charities financially.
And the funds that were raised went to various good causes, including Project Angel Food, The Union for Contemporary Art, as well as Heart of Los Angeles.
They Co-Founded a Publishing House
It was recently reported that Keanu Reeves was one of the co-founders of new publishing company X Artists’ Books, with other designers and Alexandra Grant herself. And at the official launch of the project, Reeves described it as including people collectively coming together with all their talents and creativity.
Meanwhile, the official website for X Artists’ Books reads, “Our books are works of art; gateways to envisioned worlds; treasured companions; the framework of a community. We cherish the same things about our books as we do about our friends: kindness, open-heartedness, and intelligence.
A New Movie
There is another exciting Reeves-related reveal; finally, there will be a fourth movie in the Matrix franchise, meaning the Hollywood A-lister will be reprising his starring role as Neo. And in 2020, filming on the flick officially began. Reeves was, spotted on and around the movie’s sets. And when the cast of the film flew out to Berlin, his partner came along too.
TheDaily Mail recently reported that Reeves and Grant had been spotted having dinner in the German city of Berlin as well as – of course – touring the city and visiting an art gallery.
Grant was Reeves’ first serious relationship for a while
Reeves’ romance with Grant has signified a turning point, as it was known that his last serious relationship had ended in intense grief. The actor had once been with a woman named Jennifer Syme, she was pregnant with his child but, tragically, the baby arrived into the world stillborn.
Naturally, Jennifer began suffering from depression after the loss of their child. In the wake of their struggle, she and Reeves also separated. they were never able to rekindle their relationship, as in 2001, she passed away in a car accident.
Grant Has Helped Reeves Heal
After Reeves lost his unborn baby, he then lost the mother of his child. And while he doesn’t speak about these tragedies, he has indicated that they are still very much on his mind. In 2019 he said in an interview, “Grief and loss – those are things that don’t ever go away.”
Given all this, it’s no wonder many people are relieved that Reeves is dating someone new, and being with Grant has made Keanu happy, which warms our hearts.
