A Hollywood Fairytale Comes True
In a move that has sent shockwaves through Hollywood and delighted fans worldwide, Keanu Reeves, the eternal heartthrob and action icon, has finally made it official with his longtime love, artist Alexandra Grant. No longer confined to whispers and tabloid speculation, the couple exchanged vows in a secretive, intimate ceremony in early September 2025, surrounded by a select group of A-list friends and family. The revelation comes straight from the mouths of some of the star-studded guests, including the stunning Ana de Armas, who couldnât contain her excitement about the âmagicalâ event. After years of quiet romance, Keanu, 60, and Alexandra, 52, have sealed their bond in what insiders describe as a âsoulful and understatedâ wedding that perfectly reflects their low-key lifestyle. The Daily Mail delves into every romantic detail of this long-awaited union, from the coupleâs decade-plus journey to the altar to the glamorous guest list and the heartfelt moments that had everyone in tears.
For years, Keanu Reeves has been Hollywoodâs most eligible bachelor, a man whose tragic past and unassuming charm have made him a global obsession. But since going public with Alexandra in 2019, the pair have been the epitome of a modern power coupleâartistic, private, and deeply connected. Their wedding, held on September 7, 2025, at a secluded vineyard estate in Malibu, California, was a far cry from the glitzy Hollywood affairs weâre used to. Instead, it was a celebration of love, creativity, and quiet joy, attended by just 50 guests. âIt wasnât about the spectacle,â a source close to the couple told the Daily Mail. âIt was about two souls whoâve found peace in each other after so much life experience.â With Ana de Armas among the elite invitees spilling sweet details, the world is finally getting a glimpse into what many are calling âKeanuâs happily ever after.â
The Road to Romance: A Timeline of Keanu and Alexandraâs Love Story
To understand the magic of this wedding, one must trace the roots of Keanu and Alexandraâs relationshipâa bond that blossomed from friendship and collaboration into something profound. The pair first crossed paths in 2009 at a dinner party in Los Angeles, where Alexandra, a talented visual artist known for her text-based works, caught Keanuâs eye. At the time, Keanu was navigating the aftermath of personal tragedies, including the loss of his stillborn daughter in 1999 and the death of his former partner Jennifer Syme in 2001. Alexandra, with her intellectual depth and artistic soul, provided a kindred spirit.
Their connection deepened in 2011 when they collaborated on Keanuâs book Ode to Happiness, a collection of his poetry illustrated by Alexandraâs evocative drawings. The project was a hit, leading to a second book, Shadows, in 2016. âWe started as friends and collaborators,â Alexandra once said in a rare interview with British Vogue in 2020. âKeanu has this incredible way of seeing the worldâpoetic, thoughtful. It was natural that it evolved.â By 2017, insiders say, their friendship had turned romantic, though they kept it under wraps for years, valuing privacy in a world of paparazzi frenzy.
The couple made their red-carpet debut in November 2019 at the LACMA Art + Film Gala, hand-in-hand and beaming. Fans went wild, dubbing them âHollywoodâs most wholesome couple.â Keanu, ever the gentleman, spoke glowingly of Alexandra in a 2020 Esquire interview: âSheâs not just my partner; sheâs my muse, my confidante.â The pair weathered the pandemic together, collaborating on art and supporting each otherâs careers. Alexandraâs exhibitions flourished, while Keanu starred in blockbusters like The Matrix Resurrections (2021) and John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023).
Rumors of an engagement swirled in 2023 when Alexandra was spotted with a diamond ring, but the couple laughed them off. âWeâre happy as we are,â Keanu told People in 2024. Yet, by mid-2025, whispers grew louder. Sightings of the pair at jewelry stores in Paris and a cozy lunch in London fueled speculation. Now, with the wedding confirmed, itâs clear theyâve been planning this for months, choosing September for its symbolic fresh startâautumnâs renewal mirroring their own.
The Wedding Details: Intimate, Artistic, and Utterly Romantic
The ceremony took place at a breathtaking vineyard in Malibu, overlooking the Pacific Oceanâa location Keanu reportedly chose for its serenity and proximity to their Los Angeles home. Guests arrived under strict secrecy, with NDAs signed and phones collected at the door to ensure privacy. âIt was like a fortress of love,â Ana de Armas, who attended with her rumored beau Ben Affleck, shared in a gushing post-wedding chat with Vanity Fair. âKeanu and Alexandra wanted it to be about them, not the cameras.â
Alexandra walked down the aisle in a custom gown by her friend, designer Monique Lhuillierâa flowing, bohemian silk number with hand-embroidered motifs inspired by her artwork, incorporating text elements like âloveâ and âeternalâ in subtle script. Her silver-streaked hair was loose and wavy, adorned with wildflowers from the vineyard. Keanu, looking dapper in a tailored black tuxedo by Tom Ford, opted for a simple boutonniere of lavenderâ a nod to their shared love of nature. âHe was beaming like Iâd never seen,â Ana recalled. âTears in his eyes as she approached.â
The vows were personal and poetic, written by the couple themselves. Keanu reportedly referenced their first collaboration, saying, âYou turned my words into art, and my heart into home.â Alexandra echoed, âIn your shadows, I found light.â A close friend officiated, keeping it non-religious but spiritual, with readings from Rumi and e.e. cummings. The ring exchange featured custom bands designed by AlexandraâKeanuâs engraved with a line from Ode to Happiness, hers with a Matrix-inspired code symbolizing eternity.
Post-ceremony, guests enjoyed a sunset cocktail hour with organic wines from the vineyard and vegan hors dâoeuvresâKeanu, a longtime vegetarian, insisted on a plant-based menu. Dinner was a family-style feast under string lights, featuring Mediterranean-inspired dishes like grilled vegetables, fresh salads, and artisanal breads. The cake? A simple three-tier vanilla with lemon curd, decorated with edible flowers and a topper sculpted by Alexandra herselfâa miniature couple holding hands.
Entertainment was low-key but magical: A string quartet played classics from Keanuâs films, including the John Wick soundtrack, and later, Keanu surprised everyone by grabbing a guitar for an acoustic rendition of âCanât Help Falling in Love.â âIt was so Keanuâhumble, heartfelt,â Laurence Fishburne, Keanuâs Matrix co-star, told us. âWe were all in awe.â
