Per the Daily Mail, Grant hails from Ohio, but grew up in various parts of the world. An artist in her own right, she's been working in the arts since graduating from Swarthmore College in 1994. Since then, she's had her work exhibited in various prestigious spaces across the world, including the LACMA, the Galerie Gradiva in Paris, and The Harris Lieberman Gallery in New York.

The couple first met in 2011 and collaborated on a number of different projects. For instance, Grant provided the art for the books Ode To Happiness and Shadows - two volumes of poetry written by Keanu himself.

And the sight of a beaming Reeves holding hands with Grant truly warmed the hearts of his fans on social media.

"I AM SO HAPPY FOR THEM. He looks so happy, they look happy and amazing together. Keanu Reeves deserves the best," one Twitter user wrote.

Sharing a picture of the happy couple, another added: "I hope that Keanu Reeves stays this happy forever."

A few months after first going public with Reeves, Grant spoke to Vogue about the sudden attention she was receiving.

Speaking in March 2020, she said: "I think every single person I knew called me in the first week of November, and that's fascinating. But the question I've been asking in all of this is: 'What is the opportunity for good?'"

Grant was then asked about the possibility of one day marrying the beloved actor, to which she said, "Over a glass of wine … I would love to tell you. Love at every level is deeply important to my identity. How's that for dodging the question?

"I do not believe that isolation is the way. There is a period of isolation that I do as a painter, but I deeply value the experience of being in relationships."

Either way - we cannot get over how happy these two look!
