Keanu Reeves has fallen hard for artist Alexandra Grant because she has some qualities that most women he has met in Hollywood don’t embrace.

The 46-year-old grey-haired college graduate is ‘spiritual, sensitive and kind’ which has built the 55-year-old A-list movie star’s trust.

And the creative master has also been able to do what no other woman has: she has gotten the Matrix star to open up about his past heartache over the death of his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Syme.

Syme was expecting Keanu’s baby girl Ava in 1999 but the child was stillborn at eight months.

The couple split and then in 2001 there was more tragedy as Jennifer drove her 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee into a row of parked cars in Los Angeles; she died instantly. She was only 28-years-old at the time.

According to Life & Style Weekly, Alexandra has been all ears and support for Reeves.

‘She’s one of the few people who’s managed to get Keanu to open up about his emotions and past,’ said a source.

Reeves has had a reputation for being very private and keeping his personal life a closed book.

But Alexandra’s sensitive nature struck a chord with the Bram Stoker’s Dracula actor.

‘He was in such a dark place for so long, but Alexandra’s positive outlook and support have played a huge part in helping him turn his life around,’ added a friend.

A source also added: ‘Some say she’s not only stolen his heart but she’s also saved him.’

There is also an earthiness to Grant that appealed to him. ‘She is kind, warm and spiritual,’ said a pal. ‘And she is a great communicator.’

Long term: Alexandra and Keanu have a history that goes back years, first collaborating together on a grown-up’s picture book, Ode to Happiness, in 2011 before a second book, Shadows in 2016 – pictured at the exhibition opening for the book on Grant’s Instagram

When he was promoting John Wick 3, she was traveling with him.

And when he is away filming a movie, they miss each other very much, an insider added.

DailyMail.com was the first to report that Alexandra and Keanu were a couple after photos of them holding hands and sharing loving looks surfaced at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday.

But they have been affectionate towards each other for at least six months.

Born in Ohio, Alexandra has been working in the arts since graduating from Swarthmore College in 1994 with a BA in history and studio art.

The artist, 46, is known for her use of language and exchanges with writers as a source for imagery in her sculpture, painting, drawing, and video works.

The talented artist fostered her love for the spoken word as a child, after growing up around the world, living in Mexico, Spain and France.

She has exhibited at prestigious spaces around the world including Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Galerie Gradiva in Paris and The Harris Lieberman Gallery in New York.

In 2008 Alexandra founded the philanthropic grantLOVE project which produces and sells original artworks and editions to benefit artist projects and arts non-profits.

Alexandra and Keanu have a history that goes back years, first collaborating together on a grown-up’s picture book, Ode to Happiness, in 2011.

The book was a success, sparking the poet-artist duo to create their second book together, Shadows, in 2016, with Grant photographing Reeves while he was filming John Wick.

Since then, the two have been spotted together at art galleries, book signings, posed for Vogue Spain and even traveled to Germany to work together.

Speaking of working together on their second book, Grant told W Magazine: ‘We can spend a lot of time debating. Like, “A raspberry hue? And should it be darker?” We can get obsessive.’

Shadows is compiled of dark silhouette images of Reeves taken by Grant and poetry written by the Matrix actor.

Grant told the LA Times of her collaborator: ‘No one can move the way he can. He’s a really extreme performer.

‘That’s a huge piece of why those images are so interesting. I knew that if I moved the camera as we danced together, as photographer and subject, we could create these wonderful optical illusions.’

The two founded publishing company X Artists’ Books in 2017, with a focus on ‘unusual collaborations’ and books that ‘don’t really have a place because they’re between genres’.

Her work is in public collections including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) where the couple were spotted on Saturday.
