Beginning his acting career at 22 with “Youngblood,” Reeves achieved fame with “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” in 1989.

In 2019, Reeves found love again with visual artist Alexandra Grant. Grant admires Reeves for his creativity, kindness, and hard work. This new relationship hints at a more light-hearted chapter in Reeves’ life.
