Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant are having a grand time at the Grand Prix. The “John Wick” actor, 59, and mixed-media artist, 54, made a joint appearance at the MotoGP Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix in Germany on Sunday. Reeves rocked a dark denim jacket and matching jeans while his girlfriend wore a bright blue sweater and jeans for the occasion. At one point during the event, Reeves and Grant hopped on a motorbike, with the actor and ARCH motorcycle founder in the front seat.
“The Matrix” star also got to wave the checkered flag to kick off a race, the official MotoGP Instagram shared Sunday. “What a privilege to have Keanu Reeves waving the #MotoGP chequered flag! 🏁 The Hollywood star has had the time of his life at the Sachsenring this weekend! 😎,” the captioned the post.
Reeves and Grant’s casual outing comes months after the couple got all dolled up in April for the annual Museum of Contemporary Art Gala in Los Angeles. Grant wore an elegant, aqua blue dress, while Reeves donned a crisp navy-blue suit with a gray scarf. At one point, Reeves and Grant exchanged a sweet glance as they took photos on the carpet.
In September, Grant gushed about how Reeves inspires her creatively during an appearance at the Los Angeles Beverly Arts Icon Awards. “He’s so creative, he’s so kind. He works so hard,” she told People magazine at the time. The mixed-media artist also shared how her relationship with Reeves has affected her career, noting that a friend told her years ago that her “work has gotten happier.” “That’s real. We’re all human beings. We’re animals,” Grant said. “We’re expressing from where we are and certainly feeling happier. I think the work is happier.”
Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant spent a day at the races in Germany! On Sunday, July 7, the actor and motorcycle lover, 59, and his visual artist girlfriend, 51, stepped out together for the final day of the MotoGP Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland, and even waved the checkered flag together. The couple — who are selective about where they spend their time, as a source recently told PEOPLE — were all smiles as they each held the flag with one hand each at the Sachsenring Circuit in Hohenstein-Ernstthal.
It was a fitting outing for the Matrix actor, who has long been passionate about motorcycles — and even has a custom motorcycle company, ARCH. “Motorcycles are a huge part of his life,” a source recently told PEOPLE of Reeves, adding that Grant “never minded” his infatuation with the vehicles. “She has a very calm personality and just wants him to be happy,” the insider explained.
To watch the motorbike races with his longtime love, Reeves wore an all-denim look. Grant, meanwhile, also rocked jeans, but she paired them with a light blue sweater and a pair of chunky sunglasses. The Speed star and the artist — who started off as friends and artistic collaborators before they took their relationship public in 2019 — prefer to keep things low-key, dedicating their nights to art or close pals, a source recently told PEOPLE. “They’re often invited to events but only attend ones that truly matter to them,” they said. “They’re both homebodies. They’d much rather entertain at home. They often have friends over for dinner. It’s always the best.”
In March, a source told PEOPLE that the John Wick star is “very happy” with Grant. “This is the most fun and positive relationship that Keanu has ever been in,” the source told PEOPLE, noting that the visual artist is “a rare gem” that “everyone just loves.” “She is adorable, sweet, caring and funny. She has her own life and career but is also very supportive of Keanu’s,” they added. “When he films on location, she travels with him. When he films locally, she often visits the set.”
Last year, Grant opened up about her bond with Reeves, both romantic and creative. “The good news about falling in love as an adult is that I had built my own career by the time that my relationship had begun,” she told PEOPLE at the 2023 Los Angeles Beverly Arts Icon Awards. “What I love about Keanu and our exchange is that we’re pushing each other to build new roads,” she later noted. “Seeing the other person’s problem-solving is inspiring, like, ‘Oh, well, okay, this one, that’s a cul-de-sac. How do I try this other thing?’ ” “He’s such an inspiration to me,” Grant added. “He’s so creative, he’s so kind. He works so hard.”
Reeves has also spoken with PEOPLE about Grant, revealing in early 2023 that his last moment of bliss was “a couple of days ago with my honey.” “We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great,” he recalled, adding that “it was just really nice to be together.”
Keanu Reeves and girlfriend Alexandra Grant were spotted together in Germany. Reeves, 59, and Grant, 51, were photographed at the MotoGP Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland on Sunday, July 7. The motorcycle grand prix is held at the Sachsenring Circuit race track in Hohenstein-Ernstthal, Germany. Reeves, sporting a black denim jacket, waved the checkered flag from the booth at the race while Grant, who provided a pop of color in her blue sweater and sunglasses, laughed and looked on. The John Wick star further observed the race from the service road on the back of his own motorcycle.
Reeves is a known motorcycle enthusiast and even owns his own custom motorcycle company, ARCH, which he cofounded in 2011. “I love everything about motorcycles,” Reeves said in an interview with Adventure Bike Rider in April 2021. “I love how riding clears your mind and the feeling of freedom it gives you,” he said at the time. “I’m probably happiest when I’m out on the road going as fast as possible. I can’t explain to you how beautiful it feels to be able to ride through the canyons or be able to take the Pacific Coast freeway and feel the ocean breeze. I love the feeling.”
Even those close to Reeves know one of the actor’s favorite things to do is ride his motorbike. “Keanu is very soft-spoken in his everyday life, but he has a great dry sense of humor,” an insider exclusively told Us Weekly about the actor last year. “Keanu loves riding his motorcycle and playing his bass. He has some friends who jam together, and he loves going out for bike rides on his own to clear his head. Keanu also loves horseback riding to get away from the Hollywood craziness.” At the time, the insider gushed over what “a great team” Reeves and Grant, who have largely kept their romance out of the private eye, make. “She loves cooking him meals at home and they both love film and books,” the source told Us in March 2023. “They actually have a little book club just the two of them where they read each other’s favorites.”
Reeves and Grant have been together since they met at a party in 2009. After years of dating, another insider exclusively told Us of the couple last month, “They see themselves as soulmates.” The source added, “They’re shy by nature so there’s no overintensity or jealousy on either side. Alexandra appreciates that Keanu is a total gentleman who encourages her to pursue her passions, while he says she’s one of the kindest people he’s ever met.”
