Sandra Bullock ‘Is a Big Fan’ of Pal Keanu Reeves’ Girlfriend Alexandra Grant: ‘Wonderful’

Sandra Bullock is reuniting for a new movie with famous pal Keanu Reeves and sources say their friendship is just as strong off screen – as she’s taken quite a shine to the actor’s girlfriend, Alexandra Grant.

“Sandra and Keanu have been wanting to work together again for a long time, and now it’s finally happening, thanks in part to the people around them that have been pushing for it,” an insider exclusively tells Closer of their bond.

“Their friendship has never wavered, the connection is still there, and everyone is banking on that translating on screen again like it has in the past,” the source adds. “They still love spending time together, so this new project is being seen as a total gift. Sandra’s genuinely thrilled to see Keanu in such a good place personally.”

Variety first reported on May 2, that Keanu, 60, and Sandra, 60, were “getting back together for a romantic thriller in development at Amazon MGM Studios.”

“Plot details are still under wraps, though the studio describes the story as ‘propulsive.’ Noah Oppenheim (Jackie, Zero Day) is on board as screenwriter,” the outlet reported.

Our source says Sandra is also a big fan of Keanu’s girlfriend, Alexandra. She is happy she will get the chance to spend more time with the couple while working with the John Wick actor on the upcoming film.

“She’s looking forward to catching up, reliving old memories and spending more time with his wonderful girlfriend,” the source adds. “She’s met Alexandra a number of times and speaks very highly of her. She thinks she’s a brilliant artist and a very down to earth person.”

“It’s obvious that Alexandra and Keanu make each other very happy, that’s something everyone’s noticed, including Sandra,” the insider says. “She’s someone that will be at the wedding when it finally does happen, she’s a big fan of this pairing.”

A second source previously told Closer that Sandra and Keanu were excited about the opportunity to share the screen on a project they feel so passionately about.

“Working together was always on the agenda, but the right project just wasn’t there,” the second source said in May. “This is something they’re both on board with, and they’re excited about sharing the screen again.”

While further details about the project have yet to be revealed, the second source said, “They like the script, and they think the fans will enjoy it.”

The second source said that Keanu and Sandra are bonded for life, as they have been there for each other through personal tragedies. Sandra’s boyfriend, Bryan Randall, died in August 2023 at age 57 after a three-year battle with ALS. Keanu faced heartache of his own after girlfriend Jennifer Syme died in a car accident in 2001, three years after the stillbirth of their daughter.

“They have a lot more in common than people realize,” the second source said. “They’re survivors. And while they both have huge hearts, they also put up a guard. Once they let you in, they love you forever.”
