The Matrix actor, 55, is known for avoiding discussion about his romances throughout his 35 year career, and this is the first time he has seemingly confirmed a relationship in years.

The couple looked smitten as they posed together, seemingly confirming their relationship status.
A witness at the event told Entertainment Tonight: "During the cocktail hour, Keanu was spotted with Alexandra and another female friend catching up and chatting.
"At one point, Alexandra handed a phone to the female friend and asked her to take a photo of the couple.
"They were smiling and having a good time, and immediately after taking the photo, Will Ferrell spotted Keanu and rushed over to say hello, bringing with him a small group that included his wife, Viveca Paulin-Ferrell."
Keanu suffered tragedy in 1999 when he and girlfriend Jennifer Syme's baby daughter Ava was born premature and stillborn.
In 2001, Jennifer drove her car into a row of parked cars in LA and was killed instantly. She was 28 years old.
Keanu has previously been linked to Amanda De Cadenet, Sandra Bullock and Claire Forlani, but has never made a statement on his relationship.
