Keanu Reeves is a lucky man.

His new girlfriend seems like a really interesting person.

Keanu Reeves made a public appearance with his new girlfriend, the artist Alexandra Grant.

After years of silence and keeping his personal life completely private, Keanu Reeves, the internet’s 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 Bachelor’s 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?”

Grant’s 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.

He deserves it. Major donations to various causes, with no fanfare, and generally kind person. Loves animals. Been known to give away large chunks of his movie salary to the crew.

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

I'm a fan.

BTW, Dennis Quaid just got engaged.

Dennis Quaid Says He and New Fiancée Laura Savoie Will Get Married Within a Year

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.

“You’ve got a year, right?” Quaid explained. “And if you go past a year without getting married, then you’re suspect. That’s basic etiquette.”

The actor shared with the outlet that the couple’s wedding planning began “the next minute” after he popped the question to Savoie, 26, in Hawaii last month.

“I think she’s looking at wedding dresses today,” Quaid said to ET of his soon-to-be wife “She’s gotta get started.”

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

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?

The only real difference is it doesn’t do all the thinking anymore, but I still do consult with it quite a bit.

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!

saying that the movies would be crap without them. He also surprised a member of a movie crew with $10,000 when he found out the guy was about to lose his house. Nice guy. Glad he's happy.
