Despite making their first public appearance in 2019, we’ve learnt a lot about the artist including the fact that she and Reeves had known each other long before their romantic display.

Here’s everything we know about the John Wick star’s leading lady.

Grant is open about her love for Reeves

After attending the Los Angeles Beverly Arts Icon Awards solo, Grant took the time to open up about her relationship with Reeves.

“The good news about falling in love as an adult is that I had built my own career by the time that my relationship had begun,” she told People

“I feel very confident in the relationship on the red carpet. I feel confident on it alone. It’s interdependent and independent in the best ways.”

“What I love about Keanu and our exchange is that we’re pushing each other to build new roads,” she said.

“Seeing the other person’s problem-solving is inspiring, like, ‘Oh, well, okay, this one, that’s a cul-de-sac. How do I try this other thing?'”

She added, “He’s such an inspiration to me. He’s so creative, he’s so kind. He works so hard.”

They’re long-term friends and collaborators

According to People, the pair have been friends and collaborators for years, first working together on his 2011 book Ode to Happiness.

It was the first book Reeves had written and the first book Grant had illustrated.

She’s a wedding officiant

Grant became a wedding officiant in June 2019, after being asked by two friends to officiate their wedding.

“It’s official… I’m the marrying type. Thank you Ginna and Edwin for asking me to officiate your wedding… I couldn’t be more pleased to be a Universal Life Minister and take this step forward with you,” she wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of a Credentials of Ministry certificate.

She’s one of the very few partners he has posed with on the carpet

Reeves rarely goes public with his significant others and not much is known about his dating history.

He kept a very low profile with his girlfriend Jennifer Syme who he began dating in 1998.

Syme suffered a stillbirth with their daughter Ava in 1999, and the couple soon split up.

Tragically, Syme passed away in a car crash the following year.
