Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant Shine at MOCA Gala

Things are still going strong between and his girlfriend of eight years, Alexandra Grant, who were spotted sharing a laugh at the MOCA Gala in , on Saturday night.

The 61-year-old Matrix alum wore a black suit with a grey top, tie and brown shoes while the 53-year-old artist bared her arms and taut tummy in a blue teal top, matching maxi-skirt and gold accessories.

Reeves even flashed a rare, genuine smile as he held hands with the woman he calls 'my honey' on the black carpet of The Geffen Contemporary.

'I'd say the key to it is the mutual respect and also just like, come on, it's play, right?' Grant told People last Friday of their relationship.

'It's play that we get to play creatively. The last thing I will say that I think we share is just the belief in projects. Every project has its own autonomy, its own team, it has its own sort of rules, and it has a beginning, middle and end. 

'So we both are people who do projects, and you know, I've lived with , I've lived with Neo.'

The grantLOVE project creator continued: 'When he's in a character, for example, I have so much respect for that understanding that this is the middle to the end of a project, right? And I think the same goes for painting.

'When I'm in painter mode, I am in it. I'm fully in it, and it's not playing a character, but it is performing, you know, painting really is a form of performance too.'
