One of the world's most beloved celebrities, Keanu Reeves, introduced his new girlfriend Alexandra Grant at the LACMA Art + Film Gala this past weekend, and absolutely nobody is upset about it. Reeves, who is 55, has been longtime friends with the 46-year-old painter, and fans cannot help but be happy for the actor who hasn't publicly dated anyone in decades.
The minute the photos of the new couple were released, a chorus of tweets showing love and appreciation for Keanu sent his name to trend on Twitter. Below are some of our favorites welcoming this happy new chapter in his life. We just hope mini Keanu approves of the new partnership.
This house approves and will kick you out if you feel otherwise.

Some users stressed that Reeves, who lost his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Syme in a car crash following the birth of their stillborn child, deserved all of the happiness in the world.
I don’t know why I’m so happy Keanu Reeves has a girlfriend (who is age appropriate no less). I don’t know this man personally. But what happened to him sucks and he deserves some happiness.

Some users thought Grant resembled Helen Mirren, which they also would have supported.
Saw the photos and legit thought Keanu Reeves was dating Helen Mirren. Which I also would have supported. pic.twitter.com/rYoC9nCLzZ

The birth of new Keanu memes even took place.

Mostly everyone was very happy that he chose to date a woman that was considered "age appropriate."
Keanu Reeves is trending because he's decided to date a woman, artist Alexandra Grant, who is within his age bracket.
— Yashar Ali 🐘 (@yashar) November 5, 2019
She is 46 and Keanu is 55.
It also says a lot about how women are treated that so many people are stunned that a woman over 40 wouldn't dye her hair. pic.twitter.com/zHHo2GMzbx
of course Keanu has an age-appropriate girlfriend. he is a Good Man https://t.co/Rnr3IdPzfG

Even those who didn't consider themselves huge Keanu Reeves fans couldn't help but applaud the new couple.
I couldn't care less about Keanu Reeves but his girlfriend is lowkey looking back at the camera like "that's right, bitches" so I fully have to stan Miss Alexandra Grant pic.twitter.com/bKZOp7sTAu
