Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder: Accidentally Married?
Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder have been friends and co-stars for decades—but according to them, they may also be accidentally married. It all started on the set of 1992’s Dracula, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, where the two filmed a wedding scene with a real Romanian priest in an actual church.
“We did a whole take of a marriage ceremony with real priests,” Reeves said. Ryder added, “I swear to God, I think we’re married in real life.”
“So I Guess We’re Married”
In interviews, both Reeves and Ryder have joked—and possibly half-believed—that the scene may have legally or spiritually married them. Reeves said, “Winona says we are. Coppola says we are. So I guess we’re married, under the eyes of God.”
Coppola himself admitted, “We actually did the ceremony and had the priest do the ceremony… So in a sense, Keanu and Winona really are married.”
Lifelong Friends, Not Lovers
Though the two have strong chemistry on screen and a long history of working together (Dracula, Destination Wedding, A Scanner Darkly), they’ve never dated. Both are happily committed to other partners, and their connection has remained a close friendship.
Sandra Bullock on Keanu’s Kindness
Actress Sandra Bullock, another longtime friend of Reeves, shared with Esquire, “Keanu’s a guy who, I feel like, is friends with every woman he’s ever dated.”
She reflected: “Maybe we could have survived… But we didn’t have to survive anything.”
