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,ââ she recalled Reeves telling her. âThat’s real. We’re all human beings. We’re animals. We’re expressing from where we are. I think the work is happier.â
“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 Gardâs 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.
