His new girlfriend seems like a really interesting person.
After years of silence and keeping his personal life completely private, Keanu Reeves, the internets favorite celebrity, made a public appearance with his new girlfriend, the artist Alexandra Grant at the LACMA Art + Film Gala red carpet.
It had been years since Reeves had been known to have a girlfriend. His last known relationship was with the actress Jennifer Syme. They lost their child in 1999, and she died in a car accident in 2001.
Alexandra Grant is a 46-year-old artist from Fairview Park, Ohio, currently residing in Los Angeles. She spent part of her early life in Mexico, France, and Spain, and can speak English, Spanish, and French fluently. She got a Bachelors degree in History and Studio Art from Swarthmore College, and in 2000, obtained an MFA in Drawing and Painting.
According to her website, her work focuses on the use of text and language, and asks questions like, How do the languages we speak and the images we see form how we think and exchange ideas? How can artists and writers work to create and influence culture in an increasingly technology-driven world?
Grants work is shown in several museum collections, such as: the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin, and the Art Gallery of Ontario.

The loss of his baby and girlfriend made him a very sad person for years.
I'm a fan.

Dennis Quaid and his new fiancée, Laura Savoie, are apparently not planning for a long engagement.
On Sunday, the Parent Trap actor, 65, sat down with Entertainment Tonight to discuss his upcoming Netflix sitcom, Merry Happy Whatever and revealed that he plans to be a married man within the year.
Youve got a year, right? Quaid explained. And if you go past a year without getting married, then youre suspect. Thats basic etiquette.
The actor shared with the outlet that the couples wedding planning began the next minute after he popped the question to Savoie, 26, in Hawaii last month.
I think shes looking at wedding dresses today, Quaid said to ET of his soon-to-be wife Shes gotta get started.

Dating someone who could be the age of your granddaughter is just creepy.

(9,580 posts)when I see a man of this age with such a young woman is "can he even get it up anymore?" Sorry, but that really is what I think. Following that, second thought is "gotta be the money." I'm jaded. Can you tell?

(22,048 posts)I've read a number of stories of how considerate he is of others, down to earth, and really appreciates his fans. He donates a lot of money, saying--I have enough.
And he's pretty darn cute too!
