Reeves is a Canadian actor and musician best known for his roles in the Matrix series and John Wick franchise.He’s worked alongside American actress Ryder, who rose to prominence with her role in Beetlejuice, on numerous occasions.Recently, Reeves shocked fans when he claimed he and Ryder had accidentally been ‘married’ for the past 30 years.
Reeves and Ryder have worked together on several occasions, including Dracula, A Scanner Darkly, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, and Destination Wedding. Although both stars have had relationships, neither has ever married.
Reeves is in a relationship with visual artist Alexandra Grant while Ryder has been dating fashion designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn since 2011.Previously, fans wondered whether the two stars would enter a serious relationship – after all, they have spoken admiringly of each other over the years.Ryder told People magazine Reeves is ‘one of the most special people’ she’s ever met, while rhe actress has described Ryder as ‘a remarkable human being.’ They also admitted that occasionally, they’ve had ‘big, healthy’ crushes on one another.
Although the pair have never taken their feelings further, it’s now been revealed that they may have unintentionally made an important vow to one another. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ryder discussed working on the 1992 movie Bram Stoker’s Dracula, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and revealed that real priests were used instead of a staged wedding.
She insisted: “We actually got married in Dracula. No, I swear to god I think we’re married in real life.
“In that scene, Francis used a real Romanian priest. We shot the master and he did the whole thing. So, I think we’re married.”
Coppola told The Guardian: “This is pretty authentic and I think very beautiful because we actually did the ceremony and had the priest do the ceremony.
“So 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.”
In an interview with Esquire, Reeves elaborated: “We did a whole take of a marriage ceremony with real priests.
“Winona says we are. Coppola (the film’s director) says we are. So, I guess we’re married under the eyes of God.”
Although the accidental marriage may be a fun anecdote for fans of the actor and actress, whether it has any legal standing remains a question.
The scene was filmed for a movie, so it’s unlikely that any legal paperwork was filed.
Whether or not Reeves and Ryder are married, the pair continue to work together and support each other’s careers.
