Grant’s friend, actress Jennifer Tilly, revealed to Page Six in February 2020 that the couple has been together longer than fans think.
“I remember a couple of years ago, about a year and a half ago, [Grant] said, ‘Keanu Reeves is my boyfriend,’ and I’m like, ‘Wait. What? What? What?'” Tilly recalled.
“It’s really astonishing to me how in the last five months, all of a sudden, she goes to an event with him and everybody goes insane, like, ‘It’s his new girlfriend,’ because she had gone to a lot of events with him,” Tilly continued.
“It’s just suddenly surfaced that he’s been dating her for several years.”
Since Reeves and Grant have been together, they’ve collaborated on several projects together.
Grant did the illustrations for his 2011 book, Ode To Happiness, as well as his 2016 book, Shadows.
