Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves are actually married.
The pair starred alongside each other in 1992’s Dracula and filmed a wedding scene together. The film’s director took authenticity to the extreme and hired a priest for the role, which Winona has said meant they were “actually” wed.
During a press tour for their 2018 film Destination Wedding, Winona said: “We actually got married in Dracula. No, I swear to god, I think we’re married in real life! We shot the master and he did the whole thing. So I think we’re married.”

However, when Ryder asked Reeves about their alleged matrimony the John Wick actor couldn’t quite recall. “Don’t you remember that? It was Valentine’s Day,” she said before a lightbulb went off in Keanu’s head: “Oh my gosh, we’re married!”
In the film, which is an adaptation of the classic novel by Bram Stoker, the Stranger Things actress played the love interest of Keanu’s character. In a later interview, Winona revealed that director Francis Ford Coppola tried to get Reeves to make her cry.
Ryder spoke to The Sunday Times about the experience, which happened as they tried to film a scene when Dracula actor Gary Oldman merged into a sea of rodents. She said that in the scene, she’s “supposed to be crying” and Coppola tried to make all of her co-stars “yell things that would make her cry”.
However, the stars refused to join in and instead stuck to their guns. Ryder said that Keanu and Anthony Hopkins “wouldn’t” do it and explained that the method “just didn’t work”. “I was like: ‘Really?’ It kind of did the opposite.”
Winona has been back in the headlines recently as the sequel to her 1988 film Beetlejuice is set to be released in September. Winona will reprise her role as Lydia Deetz and will be joined by Jenna Ortega, who plays Lydia’s daughter Astrid.

Michael Keaton will be returning as Beetlejuice and Catherine O’Hara plays Deila Deetz once again. Willem Dafoe joins the cast as a “ghost detective who was once a B movie action star” and the film is directed by Tim Burton.
