Keanu Reeves’ girlfriend, 54, faces mixed reactions after posing in teal cut-out dress on red carpet

They might not be the flashiest couple, not the most controversial, not the most outspoken, and certainly not the most attention loving, but Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant are undeniably adorable.

Keanu and his partner, 54, often make headlines when they step out on a red carpet together, and for the most part almost everything said about them is positive. They’re not the types to do desperate things in order to generate buzz, nor are they guilty of playing up for cameras for better publicity.

No, there’s something undeniably down-to-earth about the couple, which is a notably rare trait in the glitz-and-glam world of Hollywood. They’re genuine and they seem to be very much in love, so it’s small wonder that people are happy every time they make an appearance.

And yet even that’s not enough to stop critics weighing in, apparently.

Keanu and Alexandra recently stepped out at the MOCA Gala, the latter donning a striking teal cut-out dress to contrast with the former’s dark suit and scarf combo, and they certainly turned heads in the process.

There were a lot of compliments sent Alexandra’s way, though there were those who voiced negative opinions over her dress’s presentation.

One person wrote: “Her dress was completely wrinkled. I can’t believe it. I’m just saying, why didn’t she steam it? Why do this?”

Another added: “Well, at least she is a woman; iron your dress.”

“The rich & famous have everything they can want & insist on dressing sloppy. As if to say I’m down to earth. COME ON!!!!” a third said.

“Keanu and his mother,” a fourth cruelly wrote.

The couple’s relationship dates back to 2009, when they first met at a dinner party. The pair eventually collaborated on a book titled Ode to Happiness in 2011, with Reeves as the author and Grant as the illustrator.

Despite keeping their romance private for many years, they made their official debut as a couple at the LACMA Art + Film Gala presented by Gucci in 2019.

Known for their low-key lifestyle, the couple prefers intimate gatherings at home over extravagant events, according to sources close to them, per People. Described as “homebodies,” they reportedly like to cherish their time together and prioritize moments that truly matter to them.
