00:00It sounds like actress Winona Ryder and her longtime collaborator Keanu Reeves are still
00:05technically married.
00:06During his January appearance on The Talk, Reeves opened up about last summer's shocking
00:10reveal that he and the Stranger Things star might have actually tied the knot in 1992
00:16while filming a wedding sequence for Bram Stoker's Dracula.
00:18That's what Winona says.
00:20Right, and so if that's the case, then are you guys celebrating anniversaries?
00:24Yeah, once in a while I'll get a text, hello husband.
00:28Reeves went on to explain just how his marriage mishap unfolded.
00:31I didn't really believe her, and then Francis Ford Coppola, the director of Dracula, contacted
00:37Winona and said publicly that, yeah, that actually happened."
00:40Ryder had first revealed in August 2018 that she and Reeves unknowingly got hitched on
00:45the set of the Francis Ford Coppola classic nearly 30 years ago.
00:49She told Entertainment Weekly,
00:51"...we actually got married in Dracula.
00:52No, I swear to God, I think we're married in real life."
00:55In that scene, Francis Ford Coppola used a real Romanian priest.
00:59We shot the master, and he did the whole thing, so I think we're married.
01:02Just days after the reveal went viral, Coppola himself weighed in on their nuptials.
01:07During an interview with The Guardian, the filmmaker explained that he'd decided to reshoot
01:10the 90s horror flick's wedding scene with a real priest in a Los Angeles Greek Orthodox
01:15church.
01:16Coppola explained,
01:17"...we actually did the ceremony and had the priest do the ceremony.
01:20So in a sense, when we were all done, we realized that Keanu and Winona really are married as
01:25a result of the scene and the ceremony."
01:28Despite their complicated history and undeniable on-screen chemistry, it should be noted that
01:33Ryder and Reeves, who also appeared together in 2006's A Scanner Darkly and The Private
01:37Lives of Pippa Lee Three Years Later, are just friends in real life.
01:41While the Beetlejuice alum appears to enjoy playfully teasing her longtime pal and alleged
01:45hubby about their possible marriage, she's actually been romantically linked with fashion
01:49designer Scott McKinlay Hahn since 2011.
01:52However, Ryder has openly spoken out against the prospect of getting married in the past,
01:56telling Net-a-Porter in 2016 that, despite considering herself a serial monogamist, she'd
02:02rather never get married at all.
02:03For his part, Reeves has been known to keep his personal life under wraps, but that doesn't
02:07mean media outlets have been able to resist speculating about his love life.
02:11In October 2018, Gossip Cop debunked rumors that he and Angelina Jolie had been quietly
02:16dating since July 2017.
02:19The following month, Reeves was spotted out and about with a mystery woman in Beverly
02:23Hills, California.
02:24No matter what his current relationship status may be, the Replica star continues to hold
02:28nothing but love for Ryder, having previously joked to Entertainment Tonight about his mutual
02:32crush on his frequent collaborator.
02:34"...I had a pretty, pretty big, healthy crush on a guy."
02:42Reeves revealed his own crush in return.
02:44Luckily, the two actors also revealed those healthy crushes are still going strong.
02:48"...What happened to the healthy crushes?
02:50Oh, they're still there.
02:52They're just like, yeah, it's just like, that's me."
02:56In an interview with People magazine promoting their 2018 movie Destination Wedding, Reeves
03:01summed up his relationship with Ryder,
03:02"'Winona' is a lovely person and a talented actress.
03:05I think we make a good couple, and I liked that it's a two-hander.
03:08To them, nobody else matters anyway, right?"
03:11Ryder and Keanu Reeves may not actually exhibit any relationship goals, but these two have
03:15clearly got their friendship goals on lock.
