Keanu Reeves Broadway Debut in Godot with Grant, Denies Marriage

Keanu Reeves and his longtime partner Alexandra Grant attended opening night of Waiting for Godot at the Hudson Theatre in New York on September 28, appearing on the red carpet hand in hand as Reeves made his Broadway debut in the Samuel Beckett revival. The outing came days after the couple publicly denied reports that they had quietly married.

Reeves stars as Estragon in the Jamie Lloyd Company production, which opened Sunday with Alex Winter as Vladimir and a guest list that included actors such as Chris Pine, Ethan Hawke and Danielle Brooks. The staging is produced by the Jamie Lloyd Company with several partners and is a new adaptation of the midcentury tragicomedy by Samuel Beckett. Reeves's presence on Broadway has drawn heightened attention to the revival.

On the carpet the couple posed together and smiled for photographs. Grant, a visual artist who has collaborated with Reeves on books, wore a black, square-neck dress and jewelry, while Reeves wore a dark jacket with pinstriped trousers. Their public appearance followed a week in which a representative for Reeves responded to reports that the pair had married by saying, It is not true. They are not married.
