Keanu Reeves is not one to flaunt his relationship for all to see. It would imply that there were too many people who had an opinion. Reeves revealed in 2021 that he was still married to Winona Ryder. It had been 29 years since they had married. Keanu explains his reasoning.

This wedding was not set in the traditional style, with the white gown, bouquet, and all the friends and relatives to fill your social thirst for some time afterwards. They had a ceremony and everything, but instead of being in a church with everyone they knew, they were on set with a full film crew. Of course, this did not occur in “real life,” but rather during the filming of “Dracula” in 1992.

“We conducted an entire take of a wedding ceremony with genuine priests,” Reeves explained. When questioned if they were still married, Reeves replied, “Winona believes we are. According to Coppola, we are. So I guess we’re married in God’s eyes.”

Francis Ford Coppola directed the “Dracula” film. He wanted the image to be as genuine as possible, so he decided to use a real church as the setting. Authenticity, according to the director, was essential. “Having a true wedding ceremony in that religion [Greek Orthodox Christianity] would be great,” he remarked.

Even he has recognized that the scene in which the characters marry may be more genuine than they first assumed. “This is quite authentic and, in my opinion, very lovely, because we actually performed the ceremony and had the priest perform it,” Coppola remarked. “In a way, when we were all done, we recognized that Keanu and Winona are truly married as a result of this scene and this ceremony.”

When Entertainment Weekly interviewed the two during media coverage for the 2018 film “Destination Wedding,” they were interested about their connection. Ryder is persuaded that God believes they are married because of the vows they took. Even if it was just for a movie scene. “So I suppose we’re married,” she said. “No, I swear to God, I think we’re married in real life. In that scenario, Francis used a real Romanian priest. We shot the master, and he did the rest. Hence, I believe we’ve married.”

They both had a crush on one other for a while. Yet neither acted on those feelings nor realized they were reciprocal.

“Dracula” was not their first or last collaboration. They co-starred in “A Scanner Darkly” and “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee,” as previously mentioned. Nonetheless, they have a professional and a personal relationship. They never dated, yet they are both in romantic partnerships.

Sandra Bullock is another of Reeve’s close friends. She voiced her thoughts in the December issue of Esquire magazine. She claimed that she believes they would have been a fantastic relationship and survived when others did not. They didn’t, however, give each other a chance.

“Keanu’s a person who, I feel like, is friends with every woman he’s ever dated,” Bullock added.

“I don’t think anyone has anything bad to say about him. Well we might have made it. I have no idea. But we didn’t have to survive anything.”

“We basically get to grow up on parallel roads, tip our caps, meet for dinner, and attempt to work together,” she continued. And the more I live, the more I admire the human being.”

Eventually, she explains her behavior by saying: “Would I have been able to say that if he had dumped me and made me angry? Probably not.”
