Alexandra Grant is opening up about why she hit back at her and Keanu Reeves’ secret marriage rumors.
The 52-year-old, who has been in a relationship with the 61-year-old actor for seven years, took to her social media in September to put an end to marriage speculation.
Grant said the rumors were wild and she wanted to put an end to them through People.
“I couldn’t take it anymore!” she admitted with a laugh. “I thought, OK, we’re going to do this, and that’s going to stop it. And I have to say, for the most part, it did.”
After the rumors spread like wildfire, fans and friends reached out to her to wish her well.
“Our main goal was to keep people from congratulating us,” Grant noted.
She explained: “It was like, thank you so much, and we really love each other, but we’re not married. How many times can you say that in a day? So I just wanted to get the truth out there. It’s like Palmolive: sometimes you put one drop in and all the fat disappears.
“So that was my hope, and it worked,” Grant added.
Keanu and Grant made their debut as a couple at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles in 2019.
