No, they're not related. I even think that their names are spelled differently.
But they both had a fall !

Because of the similar surnames, people sometimes surmise that George Reeves is related to Christopher Reeve, an actor who would later portray Superman on the big screen. The similarity is coincidental: the two are not related. George Reeves changed his last name from Brewer when entering show business.
Nor is there any known relation between George Reeves and the following public figures, often erroneously associated with him:
Steve Reeves, actor/bodybuilder from the same era, who played Hercules in several films.
Richard Reeves, also known as Dick Reeves, character actor who appeared in several "Superman" episodes.
Keanu Reeves, actor.

No.Except for the unfortunate way they died.George Reeves was in "Gone With The Wind" as one of the twins and ended up 'typecast' as Superman..once the series finished he couldn't get another gig..I am led to believe, in despair, he committed suicide. And Christopher Reeve..well I think we know about that one.If you are a fan of his,there is a wicked movie called "Deathtrap",co-starring Michael Caine.Fantastic!

It's actually Christopher Reeve, so no, they're not related.

"Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound! ... Superman ... strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men! Superman ... who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands, and who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way!"

No, just an odd coincidence that their names are similar (though not exactly alike; Reeve doesn't have an "s").
