Keanu Reeves proved that romance doesn’t need grand speeches — sometimes it just needs ice skates, cold air, and the right person. The actor surprised his longtime partner, artist Alexandra Grant, with an intimate winter date beneath the iconic Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center in New York.
Alexandra shared a series of warm, candid photos and videos from the evening on her blog, offering fans a rare glimpse into their private life. The images captured the couple holding hands on the ice, moving carefully and laughing as they skated together while the camera circled around them.
In her caption, the 52-year-old artist revealed how the evening came together. She wrote that last Monday, after a performance of Waiting for Godot, Keanu invited her out for the skating date. The simplicity of the gesture made it feel even more personal.
Grant also took a moment to thank the rink staff, praising their kindness throughout the night. She said they made the couple feel at home on the ice, cheering them on and offering hot chocolate and cozy pom-pom hats to keep warm. According to her, their attentiveness helped turn the outing into a truly unforgettable evening.
Reeves has been busy on Broadway, where he made his stage debut in Waiting for Godot last fall. The 61-year-old actor stars in the production alongside his longtime friend and Bill & Ted co-star, and the play has quickly gained popularity, earning strong reviews from critics and steady audience interest.
The relationship between Reeves and Grant goes back more than a decade. The two first met in 2011 and officially confirmed their romance in 2019. Their bond extends beyond personal life as well — in 2017, they co-founded the independent publishing house X Artists Books, combining their creative visions.
The ice rink date felt like a quiet reflection of who they are as a couple. No spectacle, no excess — just time together in one of New York’s most magical winter settings, turning an ordinary night into something quietly unforgettable.
