Grant’s pal, the actress Jennifer Tilly, revealed to Page Six in February 2020 that the couple had been dating for far longer than the public was aware of. “I recall [Grant] telling me about a year and a half ago that Keanu Reeves was his boyfriend, and I was like, “Wait. What? Whoa, whoa,” At the time, Tilly, 63, stated.

In March 2020, Grant opened up to Vogue about her relationship with Reeves for the first time, discussing the attention she received after they made their relationship public.

She remarked at the time, “I think everyone I knew called me in the first week of November, and that’s fantastic.” But throughout it all, my main concern has been, “What is the chance for good?”

Grant said when asked if she could picture herself getting married in the future: “over a wine glass… I wish I could tell you. My identity is deeply rooted in love at all levels. What a way to avoid answering the question! I do not think that seclusion is the answer. As a painter, I go through a period of solitude, although I really enjoy the feeling of being in partnerships.”

Reeves discussed love on The Drew Barrymore Show in December after the host said, “I’m not a fighter, I’m a lover.” He answered, “No, you can’t because you have to be a fighter to be a lover. Because what sort of love do you have if you don’t fight for it?” Then Reeves stood up, grinning and making fun of Barrymore for making him “philosophical” about love.
