Geo Antoinette

Background

Born Geovanna Antoinette Carreño in Los Angeles, California, she is an American citizen. She traces Mexican descent through her parents, who raised her and her three siblings — an elder sister, an older brother, and a younger sister — in a conservative environment. As a child, she was interested in art and music and even played guitar, piano, mandolin, and flute. She went to school locally and, after completing high school, enrolled at California State University, Los Angeles. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in science and worked as a bank teller for some time.

Carreño-Kwan’s journey to fame can be traced to 2010, when she joined J.K.Films, becoming the third person to join the group after Joe Jo and Bart Kwan, both popular YouTubers. Initially, she started as a producer and actress for the group, starring in small productions. That same year, she started a YouTube channel under her name, where she posted vlogs from her life and also answered fan questions. After she began dating Kwan in 2011, she renamed the channel “Bart & Geo,” and the two began to post videos on it together, chronicling their lives, travels, interests, and other general topics of interest. In 2014, she produced two short films, “Gun Fu” and “The Monster,” and also appeared as a guest on “Access Hollywood.” In 2015, she married Kwan, and later that year, ventured into the fitness industry by opening a gym in Los Angeles with her husband — Barbell Brigade. In 2020, she and her husband also co-authored a book under the title “Get Close.” They used the same name for their new podcast in 2021, where they invited guests to discuss a variety of topics.

A social media influencer in her own right, Carreño-Kwan is also known for being a businesswoman and an entrepreneur. She can read and write Korean fluently along with being proficient in Spanish. She is also devoted to her family while professionally expanding her horizons. She is a doting mother to her son and also shares his updates on a separate Instagram page under his name, which she handles with her husband. She has also endorsed several brands, including Kohl’s maternity line and Rosie Pope. She has also launched her casual and workout clothing lines under the Barbell Brigade brand, launching new collections under the label every few months.
