Alexandra Grant is explaining the reason why she clapped back at rumors of her and Keanu Reeves’ secret wedding.
The 52-year-old actress, who has been dating the 61-year-old actor for seven years, took to her social media in September to shut down wedding speculations.
Grant shared that the rumors were baseless and she wanted to put them to rest through People.
“I can’t stand it anymore!” He admitted laughing. “I was like, OK, we’re going to do this thing, and this will stop it. And I have to say, for the most part, it did.”
After the rumors spread like wildfire, fans and friends were reaching out to him to wish him well.
“Our main goal was to get people to stop congratulating us,” Grant said.
She explained, “It was like, thank you very much, and we really love each other, but we’re not married. Like, how many times can you say that in a day? So I just wanted the truth out there. It’s like Palmolive; sometimes you put one drop, and all the grease goes away.
“So that was my hope and it worked out,” Grant said.
Keanu and Grant made their debut as a couple at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles in 2019.
