The _John Wick_ star, who’s been having [a triumphant 2019](https://time.com/5611378/keanu-reeves-popularity-toy-story-4/), held hands with his friend, artist and longtime collaborator Alexandra Grant at the LACMA Art + Film Gala red carpet in Los Angeles on Monday night. Their hand holding, a rare display of public affection from Reeves, led many online to believe that the pair could potentially be in a relationship. Reeves, whose Internet mythos has been built around his [kind but seemingly stoic existence](https://time.com/5558494/keanu-reeves-bus/), has been known for generally doing public events and red carpets by himself in recent years. Reeves and Grant have been longtime collaborators; she illustrated two books that he wrote, _Ode to Happiness_ in 2011 and _Shadows_ in 2016\. In 2017, Reeves and Grant joined forces again to found a publishing company called X Artists’ Books.

As might be expected, the Internet was overjoyed at the prospect that their collective dreamboat might have found some happiness in his personal life and took to social media to share their excitement.
