In 2011, the now loved up couple published their first book together, Ode to Happiness.
It was Alexandra’s first artist book and Keanu’s first piece of published writing.
In 2016, the pair reunited for a second book collaboration, Shadows.
By the following year, Alexandra and Keanu became business partners when they founded a small artist book publishing company called X Artists’ Books.
Alexandra Grant is Keanu’s first public girlfriend in over 10-years.
Keanu’s ex-girlfriend Jennifer Syme gave birth to his first child Ava Archer Syme-Reeves, who was stillborn, only 8 months into her pregnancy.
Two years later, Jennifer, tragically died in a car crash.
In 2008, the actor briefly dated fellow actress China Chow and until now, has not been in a public relationship since.
