Canadian actor Keanu Reeves is known for keeping his love life private following the stillbirth of his daughter with actress Jennifer Syme and her subsequent death a few months later. Now, 20 years later, the actor has gone public about his new love interest, appearing at a fashion event with 46-year-old artist Alexandra Grant.

55-year-old actor Keanu Reeves provoked a wave of comments and reactions this weekend after going to the LACMA Art + Film Gala hand-in-hand with his old business colleague and artist Alexandra Grant.

Some Twitter users, however, were surprised by Reeves’ unusual choice of romantic partner, despite his high status among the world’s most prominent celebrities, hinting at Grant’s apparent nonconformity to Hollywood standards and her visible age.

I'm sorry but why does she look so old, I thought this was his mom.🤦🏻‍♀️

Is it just me or does she look old enough to be his mother? 🤔

But most concluded that it did not matter after all, as the couple, who have previously collaborated on two books together, appeared to be happy and enjoying each other’s company.  

Who cares what she looks like? This photo says all anyone needs to know. He obviously likes everything about her looks. Love is beautiful, good for them. pic.twitter.com/nkxAfOGGTs
