Keanu Reeves Reveals How Alexandra Grant Came to ‘Enjoy’ His Passion: ‘We’ve Been on a Couple Trips’

Keanu Reeves, the beloved Hollywood icon known for his roles in The Matrix and John Wick, has long been a private figure when it comes to his personal life. However, in a rare glimpse into his relationship with artist Alexandra Grant, Reeves recently shared how his longtime girlfriend came to embrace one of his deepest passions: motorcycles. In an interview with E! News published on February 24, 2025, the 60-year-old actor opened up about their shared adventures, revealing, “We have been on a couple trips together on the motorcycle, and we have enjoyed it.”

A Shared Journey on Two Wheels

Reeves’ love for motorcycles is no secret. He co-founded ARCH Motorcycle in 2011 with Gard Hollinger, a venture that reflects his enthusiasm for the craft and culture of riding. This passion has now extended into his relationship with Grant, 51, whom he affectionately calls “my honey.” Speaking about their trips, Reeves noted that Grant isn’t just a passive participant—she’s an active rider herself. “Well, Alexandra actually rode motorcycles, can ride,” he told E! News. “And then we have been on a couple of trips together on the motorcycle, and we have enjoyed it.”

Their mutual enjoyment was evident during a public outing in July 2024, when the couple attended the MotoGP Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix in Germany. Smiling side by side, they waved the checkered flag for the racers—an experience that blended Reeves’ professional interests with their personal bond. While he added, “Since then, we have not done it again,” he clarified that this pause isn’t due to any lack of interest from Grant. “There’s no declaration of like, ‘I’m never riding with you again because you’re crazy,’” he quipped, suggesting her enthusiasm remains intact.

How Grant Came to Enjoy His Passion

Reeves’ revelation hints at a gradual process of Grant warming to his world of motorcycles. The couple, who first met at a dinner party in 2009, built their relationship on a foundation of creative collaboration—working together on books like Ode to Happiness (2011) and Shadows (2016), and co-founding the publishing house X Artists’ Books in 2017. Their romance blossomed publicly in 2019, and over the years, Reeves seems to have introduced Grant to the thrill of the open road.

In the E! News interview, tied to the promotion of his docuseries Visionaries (premiering March 7, 2025, on The Roku Channel), Reeves shared that their motorcycle trips are part of what keeps their connection strong. When asked about the keys to their six-year relationship, he said, “Sharing, communicating, you know, supporting.” For Grant, joining Reeves on these rides likely became a way to share in something he holds dear—a passion that’s both a personal escape and a professional pursuit. Her willingness to hop on a bike with him reflects the mutual support they’ve often described.

Grant herself has spoken about how their relationship enhances her life and work. In a 2023 interview with People, she said, “He’s such an inspiration to me. He’s so creative, he’s so kind. He works so hard.” She even noted that her art has “gotten happier” since they began dating, suggesting that Reeves’ influence—perhaps including their adventurous rides—has brought a new lightness to her perspective.

A Low-Key Love with High-Octane Moments

Despite their high-profile status, Reeves and Grant keep their relationship grounded and private, often opting for quiet nights at home over flashy public appearances. “They’re both homebodies,” a source told People in April 2024. “They’d much rather entertain at home. They often have friends over for dinner.” Yet, their motorcycle trips offer a glimpse of a more exhilarating side to their bond—one where they trade the comfort of home for the freedom of the road.

Reeves’ comments about their trips come as he and Hollinger explore creativity and innovation in Visionaries, a series that takes them around the world to meet fellow motorcycle enthusiasts and artists. It’s fitting that Grant, a visual artist with a deep appreciation for creativity, would find joy in this aspect of Reeves’ life. When asked if she’d be the faster rider, Reeves grinned, “I would imagine, yeah,” hinting at her confidence behind the handlebars.

A Love Built on Mutual Inspiration

Since going public at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in 2019, Reeves and Grant have been a refreshing example of a Hollywood couple who prioritize substance over spectacle. Their motorcycle trips are just one thread in a tapestry of shared interests, from art to storytelling to quiet moments of connection. Reeves once described a blissful moment with Grant to People in 2023: “A couple of days ago with my honey… We were in bed. We were connected. We were smiling and laughing and giggling. Feeling great.”

As Reeves prepares for a busy year— with Visionaries, the John Wick spinoff Ballerina (June 6, 2025), and the comedy Good Fortune (October 17, 2025)—his revelation about Grant enjoying his motorcycle passion underscores the strength of their partnership. Whether they’re cruising down a highway or cozying up at home, it’s clear that Reeves and Grant have found a rhythm that works for them—one where love, support, and a little adventure keep the wheels turning.
