Why Keanu Reeves' Girlfriend Alexandra Grant's Age Gets So Much Attention

Alexandra Grant does not dye her hair and wears it naturally gray which caused many to discuss Keanu Reeves’s decision to date a woman close to his age — which is often not the norm in Hollywood. A slew of fans heaped praise on the veteran actor. “[O]f course Keanu has an age-appropriate girlfriend. he is a Good Man,” one fan tweeted after the pair made their red carpet debut in 2019.

Although multiple Twitter users pointed out that — despite her gray locks — the “Point Break” star is still almost a decade older than his girlfriend. “[H]ow is it ‘age appropriate’ for keanu reeves to be dating a woman who’s 46 when he’s literally thousands of years old,” one person wrote – referencing a longtime joke that Keanu Reeves is immortal and ageless. Others noted that the conversation about Grant’s natural look brought attention to both ageism and sexism in Tinseltown. “This talk of Keanu Reeves and his girlfriend is reeeeeeally highlighting the double standards imposed on women,” a Twitter user wrote.

The following year, Grant spoke about the deluge of attention she received after walking hand-in-hand with Reeves. She seemed more interested in opening a dialogue about the strong reaction her look caused. “But the question I’ve been asking in all of this is: ‘What is the opportunity for good?'” Grant told British Vogue in 2020. “I’m a 6ft 1in woman with white hair,” she said adding that going under the radar was never in the cards for her. The couple later sparked rumors about possibly tying the knot.
