In 2009, Reeves met Alexandra Grant at a dinner party; they went on to collaborate on two books together.[264][265] They went public with their relationship in November 2019.[3][1][266]
Reeves is discreet about his spiritual beliefs, saying that it is something “personal and private”.[267] When asked if he was a spiritual person, he said that he believes “in God, faith, inner faith, the self, passion, and things”, and that he is “very spiritual”.[268] Although he does not formally practice Buddhism, the religion has left a strong impression on him, especially after filming Little Buddha.[67] He said, “Most of the things I’ve come away with from Buddhism have been human—understanding feelings, impermanence, and trying to understand other people and where they’re coming from.”[67] In 2024, Reeves spoke on his thoughts about mortality, saying, “I’m thinking about death all the time. That’s a good thing. Hopefully it’s not crippling, but hopefully it’s sensitised [us] to an appreciation of the breath we have, and the relationships that we have the potential to have.”[269]
