Hudson Grace debuted its partnership with Keaton back in August 2024, with Reggie prominently featured in the announcement.
The caption read, “Happy National Dog Day!” along with a touching moment of Keaton embracing Reggie. “Our new pet collection is inspired by Diane Keaton’s beloved dog, Reggie!

Keaton, an Oscar-winning actress, had a celebrated career with roles in The Godfather, Annie Hall, The Father of the Bride, and the Book Club films.
She later became synonymous with romantic comedies, expressing to Us Weekly in 2022 her desire to take on more physically demanding roles.
“I explored some physicality in my work, which I loved, and it sparked my desire to do more physical performances in films rather than just remaining stagnant,” she told Us about her involvement in Mack & Rita. “Honestly, I haven’t had that opportunity for quite a while. I want to embrace more of that.
Keaton commented in the past about her wish to work again with her fellow actors from the Father of the Bride series, including Steve Martin, Martin Short, Kimberly Williams Paisley, and Kieran Culkin.
“No one has approached me about it yet, but if an opportunity arose, I’d certainly be interested. Of course, I would love to do it again,” she remarked to Us in 2022. “They’re busy with their own projects now, like their show [Only Murders in the Building], which is quite impressive. Their talents are undeniable, and it’s exciting how they’re pushing boundaries on television.”
Surviving Diane Keaton are her two adopted children, Dexter and Duke, whom she welcomed into her life in her 50s.
