In response to being asked what is is like dating someone so famous, and whether it is harder to walk red carpet with or without the John Wick star, she made a rare comment about their relationship.

Over the years, their friendship turned into romance and one of our favorite celebrity couples was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧.

Alexandra talked about a moment when she felt stuck creatively and how Reeves helped her through it.

‘In a moment of frustration in my life, I once said, ‘Sometimes I feel like a Maserati stuck in traffic,’ that I have this big engine, but, for a variety of reasons, that I couldn’t ever go,’ she told the outlet.

‘And I know a lot of people feel frustrated in their lives, that they’re not able to run their engine.’

She added: ‘I think every creative person feels that way.’

‘What I love about Keanu and our exchange is that we’re pushing each other to build new roads,’ she gushed. ‘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,’ she continued. ‘He’s so creative, he’s so kind. He works so hard.’

And she explained that though they work in different mediums, at heart they are both storytellers.

‘To make a film, you require hundreds of people. To be an artist, you don’t. You require one. You require a community to get the work into the world, but not to actually make it. I think part of the inspiration is the differences of scale,’ she explained.

And she is also a fan of her boyfriend’s side project, his band Dogstar and didn’t mind that he recently had to skip their standing Friday night ‘art date’ to play a live gig.

‘I’m really proud,’ she said, adding: ‘I am a huge Dogstar fan.
