After all, the John Wick alum revealed how he plans on spending some quality time with his family during the holidays.

"Hopefully, with friends and family, chilling out, feasting, getting some time to relax," Keanu told E! News correspondent Francesca Amiker in an exclusive interview at the Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Los Angeles premiere. "Christmas is fun when Christmas is good."

The 60-year-old, who plays Shadow in the film premiering Dec. 20, is also prepared to deal with all aspects of the holiday season. Because as he put it, "Christmas can be dramatic, but it can be good." 

Although Keanu is ready to be holly and jolly with his loved ones, don't expect him to put on an apron.

"You don't want me cooking," he quipped. "But I'll do dishes." ( For more with Keanu and the cast of Sonic The Hedgehog 3, tune into E! News tonight, Dec. 17 at 11 p.m.)

Inside Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant's Excellent Love Story

Don't worry—Keanu has his girlfriend Alexandra Grant by his side to take on the role. In fact, he previously shared how the visual artist sped right into his heart.

"It's been really wonderful to be with Alexandra," he told Parade in 2020. "We enjoy each other's company, you know, whatever that may be. Once the beaches opened up, we went for a motorcycle ride, and we have a couple of projects."

Although Keanu has remained private about their love life, the pair have been seen on sweet dates together. For instance, the couple, who confirmed their relationship in 2019, had a winning day cheering on motorcycles at the Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland in July.

The Matrix star and his love were beaming as they waved the checkered flag at the German racetrack. Following their moment in the stands, Keanu and Alexandra had the chance to take a motorcycle for a spin on the track. 

They do attend more formal events together, too. Last November, the couple dazzled as they posed on the 2023 Los Angeles County Museum of Arts Art+Film Gala red carpet. It’s an event they’re no stranger to, as the duo went viral in 2019 for holding hands while walking the red carpet together.

Now, read on to see more of Keanu and Alexandra’s sweetest moments.

2009

Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant originally met at a dinner party in 2009, according to New York Times T Magazine. The John Wick star and the artist went on to collaborate on two books together, 2011's Ode to Happiness and the 2016 series Shadows. The pair also co-founded the publisher X Artists' Books in 2017.

June 2016

The duo attend the UNAIDS Gala during Art Basel 2016, but no one seemed to catch on at the time.

"It's really astonishing to me how in the last five months, all of a sudden, she goes to an event with him and everybody goes insane, like, 'It's his new girlfriend,' because she had gone to a lot of events with him," Alexandra's friend Jennifer Tilly told Page Six in February 2020. "It's just suddenly surfaced that he's been dating her for several years."

June 2019

The couple attended a Saint Laurent fashion show in Malibu together and held hands in front of photographers, though their low-key outing still didn't make headlines...

November 2019

Keanu and Alexandra's romantic relationship did not fully capture the interest of the public until they walked the red carpet hand-in-hand at the 2019 LACMA Art + Film Gala. Alexandra later shared that she never expected their first official appearance as a couple to go viral. 

"I think every single person I knew called me in the first week of November, and that's fascinating," she recalled to Vogue in March 2020. "But the question I've been asking in all of this is: ‘What is the opportunity for good?'"

June 2022

The couple only had eyes for each other when they attended the 2022 MOCA Gala in Los Angeles, which marked their  first red carpet appearance in three years.

April 2023

Keanu and Alexandra engaged in a rare moment of PDA, sharing a kiss on the red carpet when they attended the 2023 MOCA Gala April 15. Excellent!

Their public smooch came just after Keanu shared rare insight into their relationship, the Speed actor telling a sweet story after he was asked about his last moment of bliss.

"A couple of days ago with my honey," he recently told People. "We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great. It was just really nice to be together."

November 2023

The pair got all dolled up for a night out at the LACMA Art+Film Gala, the same event where they made their red carpet debut in 2019.

June 2025

The John Wick actor and visual artist shared a sweet moment at the Los Angeles screening of his new movie Ballerina.

September 2025

Alexandra celebrated Keanu’s 61st birthday with a touching Instagram post where she made a rare comment on their relationship, writing, “To Keanu—who saw this post as a draft!—I am so grateful for your love and partnership.”
