Reportedly, Reeves and Grant have been genuine friends since the late 2000s. Over the years, though, their once-platonic connection appears to have evolved into something more romantic.
Fans of the actor may have gathered that he once had a three-year relationship with one of his earliest big-screen co-stars. Reeves started dating Jill Schoelen after they appeared together in “Babes in Toyland.”
Then Came John Wick
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Reeves is worth a staggering $360 million. And a decent-sized lump of that wealth comes from the "John Wick" franchise – which was a revival of sorts for the actor. Before his first outing as the assassin in 2014, you see, Reeves had encountered a series of commercial flops, such as 2008’s "The Day the Earth Stood Still."
But "John Wick" grossed its budget four times over at the box-office and was instantly lauded as an action classic. Then came the two sequels, "John Wick: Chapter 2" in 2017 and "John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum" in 2019. Each sequel upped the stakes for action on-screen; and the box-office figures also grew accordingly.
Private Mr. Reeves
Yet Keanu Reeves is one of those select Hollywood stars whose personal life has mostly remained something of a mystery. It’s no surprise, then, that the internet went beserk when he took a date to a Los Angeles gala. And when details of the mystery woman finally emerged, Reeves’ fans noticed something rather exceptional about her.
Yes, social media exploded when photographs surfaced of Reeves posing happily on the red carpet with artist Alexandra Grant in November 2019. And it turns out that the couple’s relationship goes way back.
The Single Life
Yet while Jill Schoelen went on to have a brief engagement with Brad Pitt following her separation from Reeves, the actor himself appeared to have relished the single life, with a few rumored romances.
In 1992 Reeves supposedly began stepping out with Sofia Coppola, whose father, Francis, had directed Reeves movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula." Mind you; their relationship has never been confirmed.
Is Keanu Married?
Reeves even got ‘married’ while shooting a movie together – although the wedding is unlikely to be formally recognized anywhere outside of the Romanian film set. During an interview, his co-star Winona Ryder recalled when her and Reeves’ characters walked down the aisle – and she made the startling claim that the pair could be husband and wife for real.
Winona Ryder revealed, “Francis employed a real Romanian priest for the scene. We shot the scene, and I think we’re married.” Reeves originally expressed his surprise at this recollection. After Ryder jogged his memory a bit further, though, the star jokingly relented, responding, “Oh my gosh, we’re married.”
