Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder are widely known for their on-screen chemistry and enduring friendship. However, their connection may go even deeper than we thought. According to a surprising revelation by Ryder, the duo might have accidentally tied the knot while filming a scene for the movie Dracula in 1992.
During a promotional interview for their fourth collaboration, Destination Wedding, Ryder confessed, “We actually got married in Dracula. No, I swear to god I think we’re married in real life.” She strongly believes that the scene they filmed, which involved a Romanian priest directed by Francis Ford Coppola, holds legal weight. Even Coppola himself supported Ryder’s claim.
The director, unsatisfied with the initial scene, decided to film an additional ceremony in a Greek Orthodox church in Los Angeles. Reflecting on the experience, Coppola stated, “In a sense when we were all done, we realized that Keanu and Winona really are married as a result of this scene and this ceremony.”
Reeves, who currently has a girlfriend, addressed these stories in a recent interview with Esquire. He admitted, “We did a whole take of a marriage ceremony with real priests. Winona says we are. Coppola says we are. So I guess we’re married under the eyes of God.” Reeves also shared that Ryder occasionally texts him with a playful “Hello, husband.” Although he doesn’t remember the event as vividly as Ryder, he happily goes along with the belief that they did, in fact, get married on the set of Dracula.
Regardless of the legalities, their enduring friendship is undeniable. Ryder has expressed her admiration for Reeves, stating, “I’ve been so lucky in my life that I’ve worked with so many great actors, but there is something very, very special with Keanu. I have so much love and respect for him, and it genuinely makes going to work an absolute pleasure.”
So, are Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder legally married? The answer remains uncertain. However, their timeless bond and effortless chemistry serve as a testament to their enduring connection. Whether wedded in the eyes of the law or not, their story is a reminder that love and friendship can transcend Hollywood’s boundaries.
