Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant planning a simple 'summer wedding' with family and close friends
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Action hero Keanu Reeves has been discreetly preparing to tie the knot with his girlfriend, the artist Alexandra Grant, according to reports. According to sources close to the couple, the actor has allegedly been getting ready for a potential "summer wedding". Keanu, 58, and Alexandra, 50, have reportedly talked about having a simple ceremony that will allow them to keep their cover as a dating couple rather than deal with the media frenzy as husband and wife.
According to a source, "They want to keep the whole thing under wraps, except for family members and a few close friends." The couple's relationship evolved as a result of their cooperation on the 2011 picture book 'Ode to Happiness'. For a while, they were just pals, but the typically quiet 'Speed' star revealed their relationship on April 15 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Gala in Los Angeles by planting a passionate kiss on Alexandra's lips in front of photographers, as per reports.

'Good indication the big day is drawing near'
The source remarked there was "a good indication the big day is drawing near." Tragic events have plagued Keanu his entire life. His father abandoned him when he was a young child, his close friend River Phoenix overdosed and died, his adored sister Kim was diagnosed with leukemia, and his partner, actress Jennifer Syme, gave birth to a premature stillborn child named Ava and in 1999 died in a vehicle accident, as reported by RadarOnline.
Keanu once remarked, "Grief changes shapes, but it never ends." But it seems like the 'John Wick' actor is now getting lucky. The insider continued, "He deserves a happy ending!" Keanu recently threw Alexandra an "unforgettable" 50th birthday celebration at a Sonoma winery, as per reports. According to a source, "He invited all of their friends and family and was really excited to celebrate with her. They've both had a crazy few weeks, and this was amazing. Friends hoped he would propose at the party."
'Keanu's relationship with Alexandra is solid'
According to a different source, the couple's romance is at its peak. According to a second source,"Keanu's relationship with Alexandra is solid, and they mutually respect and admire each other." They said, "They are very similar in a lot of ways and enjoy the same things. He lived a pretty solitary life for many years, so friends are happy that he has found companionship," as reported by RadarOnline.
