Keanu Reeves has left fans shocked after he said that he has been married to Winona Ryder for 30 years.
The actors tied the knot in 1992 when they starred alongside each other in the Francis Ford Coppola-directed film ‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula,’ which is based o the 1897 gothic horror book of the same name.
The movie starred Gary Oldman as Dracula, Reeves as Jonathan Harker, Ryder as Elisabeta/Mina Harker, and Anthony Hopkins as Abraham Van Helsing.
In the flick, Ryder and Reeves’ characters got married in a romantic and religious ceremony but according to reports, the priests hired by the director were real.
Speaking to Esquire, Reeves 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’re married under the eyes of God.”
In a 2018 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ryder also spoke about her marriage to the actor: “We actually got married in Dracula.”
“No, I swear to god I think we’re married in real life,” she went on. “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 though they did not sign any official marriage documents, Reeves said that the wedding is only binding ‘in the eyes of God.’
The pair reunited on-screen in the 2018 film Destination Wedding.
Ryder and Reeves have never been romantically linked. The John Wick star is happy with his relationship with visual artist Alexandra Grant while the Stranger Things actress has been in a relationship with Scott Mackinlay Hahn since 2021.
