Artist Alexandra Grant opened up about her relationship with actor Keanu Reeves in a new interview for Vogue on Wednesday.

Speaking about the news of her and Reeves' relationship breaking back in November, Grant revealed that she was inundated with questions about her love life.

"I think every single person I knew called me in the first week of November, and that's fascinating," Grant said, adding, "But the question I've been asking in all of this is: 'What is the opportunity for good?'"

According to the artist, she and Reeves had been dating for several years before they made their first public appearance back in November, and the inspiration for the publishing house they both run together (X Artists' Books) came from a playful book, called "Ode to Happiness," that she gave Reeves. "Ode to Happiness" was later published by X Artists' Books in 2011.

"The book was made as a surprise, by me, for Keanu, as a private gift," Grant told Vogue. "All our friends sitting in the room got the giggles when I gave it to him — they said, 'Please publish it!' So that's how we got into publishing."

Grant and Reeves made their first public appearance together in November, at the LACMA art and film gala in Los Angeles.

After the couple held hands on the red carpet, fans of the "Matrix" actor rejoiced that he'd finally appeared to have found love.
