Keanu Reeves is the internet’s darling. He is known for his charitable acts like gifting the stunt team of John Wick: Chapter 4 personalized Rolex watches and putting his career on hold to take care of his sister who was diagnosed with cancer. His humbleness has made many swoons and some people who regularly propose marriage to him.
But apparently, as per his Bram Stoker’s Dracula co-star, Winona Ryder, it is she who is married to the actor in real life. Back in 2018 when the Stranger Things star disclosed this matter to the public, she set tongues wagging and made both of them trend on social media. But are her allegations true?
Is Winona Ryder Married To Keanu Reeves?
Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves have done a lot of films together. Four to be exact. They are Destination Wedding (2018), A Scanner Darkly (2006), The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee (2009), and Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992). However, despite acting in multiple projects, there have never been any dating rumors between the two. But apparently, that’s because there was an even bigger bombshell waiting to be released.
In a 2018 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Winona Ryder said that the wedding scene in Bram Stoker’s Dracula was actually real. This meant that she and Reeves were married on the sets of the film. As per Ryder:
“We actually got married in Dracula. No, I swear to god I think we’re married in real life. In that scene, Francis [Ford Coppola] used a real Romanian priest. We shot the master and he did the whole thing. So I think we’re married.”
Even Francis Ford Coppola was asked about this by The Guardian in 2018 and he backed up Ryder’s claims. The acclaimed director said, “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.” But what does the husband Keanu Reeves think about this?
Keanu Reeves Clarifies Winona Ryder Wedding Rumors
Keanu Reeves was asked in an interview with Esquire about Winona Ryder’s claims that she was married to him. The actor said, “We did a whole take of a marriage ceremony with real priests. Winona says we are, Coppola says we are. So I guess we are married under the eyes of God,” This isn’t the first time the actor has confirmed the marriage rumors.
During the 2018 Entertainment Weekly interview where Ryder first made the marriage statement, Reeves was present beside her. After all, they were promoting their film Destination Wedding. Back then in response to the Stranger Things star’s words, Reeves had said “Oh my gosh, we’re married.” Obviously, both of them are joking and are in on the little joke.
Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves played Mina and Jonathan Harker in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The film grossed $215 million on a $40 million budget. Keanu Reeves is in a relationship with visual artist Alexandra Grant while Winona Ryder once dated Johnny Depp for about three years in the early 90s. Currently, she is dating Scott Mackinlay Hahn since 2011.
Bram Stoker’s Dracula is streaming on Netflix.
