Keanu Reeves Broke His Silence on Wedding Rumors
The actor clarified the wedding rumors, but his “awkward” kiss with his longtime boyfriend captured the attention of netizens more.
Even Keanu Reeves, the legendary actor, couldn’t escape the raging rumors about his romantic life, despite being Hollywood’s most elusive leading man. The actor went to the New York screening of his film “Good Fortune,” which he stars in, on October 13, 2025.
Alexandra Grant, his cherished girlfriend, joined him at his side. Reeves spoke up about the circulating marriage rumors regarding the couple when he was there. His remarks come after Grant’s own sarcastic Instagram statement on the subject.
Keanu Reeves Corrects the Mistake
Reeves was questioned directly about the rumors circulating about his relationship during an interview with E! News. As the interviewer started, “You have a bit of a date night here tonight with your partner,” “There were rumors of getting married a few weeks ago. How did you feel when you saw those?
Ever calm, Reeves answered with a trace of amusement. “Well, that wasn’t the first time,” replied the “Matrix” star.
“And, you know, we’ve been going out for a long time and uh, you know, the wedding was, yeah, it was…I mean, it’s a nice thing, people did a lot of nice messages and stuff, but Alexandra just did a wonderful kind of addressing,” he added. ‘Thank you, but here’s some reality,’ such as Thus, yes.
Reeves provided the public something to speak about in addition to addressing the rumors. Reeves and Grant were effortlessly stylish and utterly enamored as they stood side by side on the red carpet.
Glitz, Glamor, and a Kiss That Caused Internet Anarchy
The duo exuded calm chemistry as they posed for the cameras. Under the venue lights, Grant shone in a deep navy halter-neck jumpsuit, its flowing silhouette emphasized by a collar adorned with crystals.
She accessorized with shoes and a glittering clutch, allowing her silver bob and sparse makeup to provide a sleek, contemporary look.
In keeping with his modest fashion sense, Reeves chose a dark brown fitted suit, a white shirt, and a black tie. An element of rough charm was imparted by his well-worn tan lace-up boots.
However, their attire wasn’t the only thing that attracted notice. The couple leaned in for a kiss while posing for pictures; the sweet moment swiftly went viral on the internet. The reactions were divided, and the internet quickly weighed in.
Supporters praised the couple’s loving moment right away. “Love them 🤍,” exclaimed one fan. Another person said, “They are very much in love,” Another fan commented, saying, “awe✨ beautiful couple.”
As they accuse the couple of pretending to be in love, fans take a critical stance.
Critics sharpened their claws, but not everyone was swooning. Skeptics expressed their disgust loudly, casting doubt on the display’s authenticity.
According to a netizen, “that [sic] love seems fake,” “A kiss? “I’m done with this joke 🔥 [sic], you mean a pretend kiss, and it’s all fake.” This was spoken by another.
Another said, “They’re phony as hell! Another embarrassing moment! They need to quit staging these pointless kisses that reveal something different from what they intend to display! [sic].
One user said, “Awkward 😬,” while another wrote, “Don’t lie. 🤣😂🤣.” Others focused on the mood between the two. Reeves’ well-known easygoing manner was not immune either, as one commenter observed, “Keane [sic] looking boring as always 🕴️😴🐑.”
The Web Will Not Turn AwayDespite the Pain
One thing is evident despite the criticism: Reeves and Grant’s every action continues to captivate the internet. The couple’s kiss demonstrated the continued power of their presence, ranging from adoring praise to scathing cynicism.
Not to mention that Grant had already addressed the wedding rumors in her own way on September 24 before Keanu Reeves finally spoke.
Before definitively correcting the record, she shared a personal moment on Instagram, posting a powerful, private image of herself and Reeves kissing in front of an art work at Roden Crater.
A kiss rather than a wedding
Grant made it apparent that while the picture was authentic, the headlines weren’t. “This picture is authentic.
“Just a kiss! (Maybe the moment just before or after it… given the slightly goofy expressions on our faces!)” she wrote, without an engagement picture or an AI wedding announcement.
As Grant explained, “We’re at Roden Crater, and Keanu and Gard had just finished interviewing James Turrell for Visionaries.”
Addressing the deluge of congrats, she followed up with a direct explanation: “I’m sharing it here to say thank you to everyone for the congratulations on our wedding. We didn’t get married, though.
“Good news is much needed these days, but it’s still fake news, so be careful out there!” was the next warning. Here’s a little genuine joy, then.
How It Began: The Report That Set the Fire Ablaze
RadarOnline broke the story more than a week earlier on September 16, reporting that Reeves and Grant had secretly wed during the summer.
According to the story, which cited anonymous insiders, “The wedding took place in Europe earlier this summer, very intimate and very discreet.”
“They’d talked about it for years, but in the end, they wanted something that was just for them,” explained one purported insider in further detail about the alleged incident. Keeping it a secret is ideal for Keanu and Alexandra, who cherish their solitude.
According to the initial account, the wedding was quite intimate, featuring handwritten vows, a modest gown worn by Grant, and a moving moment from Reeves. The connection is based on “trust and friendship,” according to sources, one of whom also said, “They are true partners.” They have a simple yet profound affection.
Fan Accounts Fuel the Fires with False Allegations
The tale was reiterated by the following day, September 17, on the Keanu Reeves Media Instagram page. The message said, “Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant are now married,” and included sweet pictures of the couple. After dating for a number of years, the couple decided to have a small, intimate wedding.
Only “close family and trusted friends” were there, according to the post, which reiterated almost all of the previous assertions. It also described the alleged ceremony as “peaceful and full of love.” One of the guests was quoted as saying,
“They are real partners. They have a simple yet profound affection. Attention was not the goal of this wedding. They made a lifelong commitment to one another.
The story is stopped in its tracks by Grant’s post.
However, Grant’s Instagram post seemed to put a stop to all of this discussion. Fans praised the pair for their genuineness, and the response was immediate and overwhelmingly positive.
“This is far better than a wedding photo!” someone commented. Marriage is nothing more than a document! ❤️. Curiosity was aroused by the picture’s actual place. One admirer said, “This is an amazing picture. Is the ceiling painted or made of glass? So awesome.
The image’s tone resonated as well. One fan wrote, “I adore this! What a lovely, nice moment! I appreciate you sharing, and I love you both very much. ❤️❤️ [sic]. Many were appreciative of Grant’s candor, and one person summed it up by saying, “Congratulations on being real ❤️❤️.”
Highlights of Their Bond
Now that the most recent round of wedding rumors has been decisively put to rest, everyone’s focus is on what really interests them: Reeves and Grant’s long-lasting relationship, including how it started, how it developed, and why it still wins people over.
Due to their reclusive nature, Reeves and Grant have largely kept their intense love story under wraps, as we previously reported.
On many occasions, though, Grant and Reeves have spoken candidly about their romance in interviews. They have discussed everything from their common hobbies and activities to the things they value and love about one another.
A Romance Years in the Making Before Officially Entering the Red Carpet
Grant and Reeves had been discreet friends in Los Angeles’ (LA) thriving artistic community for years before they made waves for their red carpet debut.
The couple’s hand-in-hand appearance at a Los Angeles art event in early November 2019 altered everything, though, as it verified what many had only guessed: that their relationship went much beyond a creative collaboration.
Alexandra Grant recalls the aftermath of the couple’s red carpet debut, saying, “Every single person I knew called me.”
The subsequent media frenzy was deafening. In her March 2020 British Vogue interview, Grant spoke candidly and wryly about the media frenzy, remembering, “I think every single person I knew called me in the first week of November, and that’s fascinating.”
But despite the unexpected attention, she maintained her composure and asked herself the straightforward but important question,
“What is the opportunity for good?” Through friendship and same interests, Grant and Reeves had gradually developed a bond.
