September 23, 2023 While attending the Los Angeles Beverly Arts Icon Awards on Friday, visual artist Alexandra Grant gave some rare comments about boyfriend Keanu Reeves.
“The good news about falling in love as an adult is that I had built my own career by the time that my relationship had begun,” she tells PEOPLE. “I feel very confident in the relationship on the red carpet. I feel confident on it alone. It's interdependent and independent in the best ways.”
“What I love about Keanu and our exchange is that we're pushing each other to build new roads,” she says. “Seeing the other person's problem-solving is inspiring, like, ‘Oh, well, okay, this one, that's a cul-de-sac. How do I try this other thing?’ He's such an inspiration to me. He's so creative, he's so kind. He works so hard.”
According to Grant, her art has “absolutely” changed since she began dating Reeves in 2019.
“I had a studio visit a few years ago, and this very kind, very high-level person said, 'I can see that your work has gotten happier,’ ” she remembers. “That's real. We're all human beings. We're animals. We're expressing from where we are and certainly feeling happier. I think the work is happier.”
