Keanu Reeves Reveals Who Is the Most Creative Between Him and Girlfriend Alexandra Grant (Exclusive)

Yahoo08-03-2025

Keanu Reeves isn't shying away from this one aspect of his relationship with Alexandra Grant.
Speaking with PEOPLE exclusively alongside Gard Hollinger, the Matrix actor reveals who is more creative between him and his girlfriend. The answer? "Alexandra," Reeves, 60, whose new series Visionaries premiered on March 7, says. "For sure."
Reeves and Grant, 51, have been linked since 2011 when they published the book Ode to Happiness Together with text by Reeves and illustrations by Grant. They made their debut as a couple in 2019.
The couple owns X Artists Books, a small imprint that they founded in 2017 that focuses on "thoughtful, high-quality, artist-centered books that fit within and between genres," according to the company's website. "Our books are works of art; portals to imagined worlds; treasured companions; the fabric of a community."

Grant, who is a prolific visual artist, told PEOPLE in 2023 about the John Wick actor's positive impact on her.
"I had a studio visit a few years ago, and this very kind, very high-level person said, 'I can see that your work has gotten happier,'' she recalled Reeves telling her. 'That's real. We're all human beings. We're animals. We're expressing from where we are. I think the work is happier.'
"He's such an inspiration to me," she added. "He's so creative, he's so kind. He works so hard."
The feeling appears to be mutual with Reeves. "This is the most fun and positive relationship that Keanu has ever been in," a source told PEOPLE in March 2024 about the couple. "Everyone just loves her. Keanu is very happy."
Reeves' new show, Visionaries, came from his and Hollinger's shared passion for motorcycles and their company ARCH Motorcycles, founded in 2011.
"What kind of came across through that was Gard's vision, Gard's way he creatively uses form and function to the aesthetics, to the practicalities," Keanu tells PEOPLE.

"And as the years have gone by, we had this opportunity to share that, or go into a show, to look into creativity and form and function aesthetics and that's what visionary is, to me, through this ARCH lens, which is Gard's eye."
"And we bring the audience along to meet these incredible artists, people," he continues. "And learn about their life journey. Where does creativity happen? What are they doing? And we hope that, hopefully, the show will inspire people."
Reeves and Hollinger also describe what they love about motorcycles.
"It's a wonderful way to be transported, but also to spend time in your inner self," Reeves says. Hollinger agrees, calling it "a very visceral experience. "It's physical, the smells, it's dangerous."

Reeves' passion for motorcycles has become part of his relationship. In February, Reeves shared that he and Grant enjoy motorcycle rides together. "We have been on a couple of trips together on the motorcycle and we have enjoyed it," he revealed.
An official synopsis for Visionaries reads: "Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger are kindred souls with a bond built on a love of motorcycles and an insatiable curiosity about the world around them. In 2011, they founded ARCH Motorcycle to reimagine what a motorcycle could be."
Adding, "To them, ARCH is a mindset, a lens through which to see the world. This is a journey of curiosity, to understand where human creativity comes from and to shine a light on the visionaries who are pushing the bounds of innovation and changing our world."
Visionaries premiered on Friday, March 7 and is available to stream on The Roku Channel.

Paramount Cutting Another 3.5% Of Its Domestic Workforce, Citing Linear TV Declines And Broader Economy

Paramount Global, which last year shed 15% of its U.S. workforce, said Tuesday it will reduce it by another 3.5%. The cuts will take effect Tuesday, according to a memo from Co-CEOs George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins that was obtained by Deadline. More from Deadline Paramount Global CFO Naveen Chopra Is Departing '60 Minutes' Correspondent Scott Pelley Says Trump Lawsuit Settlement & Apology Would Be "Very Damaging" To Reputation Of CBS And Paramount Shari Redstone Reveals She Is Undergoing Treatment For Thyroid Cancer 'As we navigate the continued industry-wide linear declines and dynamic macro-economic environment, while prioritizing investments in our growing streaming business, we are taking the hard, but necessary steps to further streamline our organization starting this week,' the execs wrote. Paramount is still in a protracted waiting game as it looks to close its $8 billion merger with Skydance Media. The transaction was proposed last summer and needs only the approval of the FCC in order to close, but it now appears unlikely to close in the first half of the year as the companies had projected. President Donald Trump's crusade against the media (in this case CBS News) is holding up the deal despite the fact that Paramount controlling shareholder Shari Redstone and Skydance backer Larry Ellison are longtime Trump supporters. Along with filing a $20 billion lawsuit over routine business activities at 60 Minutes, Trump's appointee to chair the FCC, Brendan Carr, has slow-walked the agency's review of the merger. While mediation talks are ongoing in the lawsuit, hopes have not recently been high for a near-term settlement. While the new layoffs are targeting domestic workers, the Co-CEOs said they 'may also result in some impacts to our workforce outside the U.S. over time.' At the end of 2024, Paramount had 18,600 global employees, with Tuesday's cutbacks affecting several hundred in the U.S. As opposed to the multi-phase layoffs last year, which were announced in the summer and wrapped by year-end, the new round is taking effect Tuesday. 'We recognize how difficult this is and are very thankful for everyone's hard work and contributions,' the CEOs wrote. 'These changes are necessary to address the environment we are operating in and best position Paramount for success.' The shrinking of Paramount's workforce reflects contraction across the entire media sector, with Disney recently announcing a fresh round of cuts as companies reckon with cord-cutting's hit to their pay-TV revenues.

Paramount Global CFO Naveen Chopra Is Departing

Paramount Global said Monday that its chief financial officer Naveen Chopra is departing 'to pursue other opportunities' as the company still awaits FCC approval for the merger with Skydance it announced almost a year ago. Andrew Warren, currently strategic advisor to the Office of the CEO, will assume the additional role of EVP, Interim Chief Financial Officer. Warren is the former CFO of Discovery Communications, the NBCUniversal Television Group and STX Entertainment.

'We are excited to partner with Andy, who has been our strategic advisor, in his new, expanded role as interim CFO and we are confident that his deep financial expertise and familiarity with our business make him exceptionally well-suited to step into this position.' At Discovery, Warren was instrumental in driving strategic initiatives and growing the global business footprint, the announcement said. In his current role as strategic advisor to the Office of the CEO at Paramount, he has worked closely with senior leadership on key financial and strategic priorities. Cheeks, McCarthy and Robbins have been running the company since former CEO Bob Bakish was pushed out as Paramount Global's controlling shareholder Shari Redstone attempted to clinch a sale. It's an unusual arrangement meant to be temporary as the company ultimately passed to David Ellison's Skydance Media. But the Trump administration and commissioner he promoted to lead the FCC, Brendan Carr hasn't signaled anything happening any time soon. Donald Trump has sued CBS and 60 Minutes for $20 billion over how the newsmagazine edited an interview with Kamala Harris and that suit has caused the network, company and Redstone no end of grief as settling what many consider a specious lawsuit is complicated, but not settling it is is too with the deal under review by commission. Redstone also recently revealed she is being treated for thyroid cancer.

He "was nominated for New Male Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards last year," the station reported. "The pedestrian killed Sunday night after she was struck by a vehicle on 3rd Avenue North near Van Buren Street is identified as 77-year-old Dorothy Dobbins," police wrote. "The preliminary investigation indicates that a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck, driven by Conner Smith, 24, was traveling north on 3rd Avenue North as Dobbins was crossing the roadway," the release says. "It appears that she was inside a marked crosswalk when she was struck around 7:30 p.m. Dobbins, who lived nearby, was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she died." "The preliminary contributing factor for this crash appears to be Smith failing to yield the right of way to the pedestrian. He showed no signs of impairment.
