She’s a wedding officiant

Grant became a wedding officiant in June 2019, after being asked by two friends to officiate their wedding.

“It’s official… I’m the marrying type. Thank you Ginna and Edwin for asking me to officiate your wedding… I couldn’t be more pleased to be a Universal Life Minister and take this step forward with you,” she wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of a Credentials of Ministry certificate.

In August, Grant shared photos of herself officiating the wedding as well as a pic of her clergy badge with the caption, “Ceremony ✔ Ministerial nails ✔ Official badge ✔.”

She’s been spotted with Reeves previously

She’s one of the very few partners he has posed with on the carpet

Reeves rarely goes public with his significant others and not much is known about his dating history.

He kept a very low profile with his girlfriend Jennifer Syme who he began dating in 1998.

Syme suffered a stillbirth with their daughter Ava in 1999, and the couple soon split up.

Tragically, Syme passed away in a car crash the following year.
