Keanu Reeves and his girlfriend Alexandra Grant are once again being praised for setting a good example to couples in Hollywood.
Yesterday, social media users were overjoyed to see the 58-year-old John Wick star looking happier than ever as he walked the red carpet with his girlfriend, the 50-year-old artist Alexandra Grant.
The loved-up couple walked hand-in-hand as they arrived at Saturday night's Museum of Contemporary Art Gala in Los Angeles, and even shared a kiss in front of the photographers.
It was amazing to see Reeves - who is without a doubt one of the most beloved stars in Hollywood - looking so happy, especially given the loss he has faced throughout his life.
In fact, Reeves recently gushed about his relationship with Grant, telling PEOPLE that his last "moment of bliss" came when he was in bed with "his honey".
When asked about his last moment of bliss, the actor lovingly replied: "A couple of days ago with my honey. We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together."
And at 58 years old and 50 years old respectively, Reeves and Grant are seemingly a refreshing sight for fans - with many praising the pair for their "age-appropriate" relationship.
After the couple hit headlines over the weekend, one Twitter user wrote: "Holy s**t Keanue's girlfriend is 50 and they started dating 4 years ago. SHOCKINGLY AGE APPROPRIATE for Hollywood [...] Keanu proving as always he's too normal to really be a movie star".
A second agreed, tweeting: "Keanu Reeves has an age appropriate partner who has grey hair. Such a lovely change from seeing men going out with women young enough to be their daughters. Absolutely love him and wish them both joy."
And, in response to a Fox News post receiving some negative comments from trolls, a third wrote: "I’m so happy for Keanu! I wish people with negative comments would stop! It has taken Keanu a long time to find love after the passing of his girlfriend & child! At least he has chosen someone who is close in age and not under 25 like some famous people!"
Reeves and Grant reportedly met back in 2009 after she helped him co-publish his first book, Ode to Happiness.
Grant designed the images for Reeves’ series of poems and presented the drawings to the actor inside another text called ‘The British Scene’ as a surprise.
Their relationship was kept private for years until they were seen holding hands at a Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) film gala in 2019 and the two have appeared inseparable since.
After finally going public, a source close to the couple told PEOPLE at the time: "Keanu wants to openly share his life with her [...] He is extremely happy and grateful to have Alex in his life."
Speaking about their relationship, Grant was even asked about the possibility of marriage during an interview with Vogue in 2020. In response, 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," she said. "There is a period of isolation that I do as a painter, but I deeply value the experience of being in relationships."
It truly is amazing to see Reeves looking so happy. If anybody deserves it, it's him. We wish them all the best.
