Personal life

At a party in 2009, Grant got to meet Canadian actor Keanu Reeves. The result of this meet led to the two creating a book called Ode to Happiness, which they released in the start of 2011. This was Grant and Reeves' first book together. It was also Reeves's first book as a writer and Grant's first as an artist.[5][6][7] Grant and Reeves worked again in 2016 on Shadows, their second work that included a book and a set of images.[8] In November 2019, Grant got into a relationship with Reeves.[7]
