Keanu Reeves is a renowned actor, who has captivated audiences for decades with his personality and charm. The 58-year-old started his career early and immediately became well-known for his roles in blockbuster films including Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Point Break, and Speed. Since then, he has established himself as a Hollywood icon, with a huge fan following. Following Reeves, Winona Ryder is also a Hollywood star who has been in the public eye for decades and is known for her outstanding acting skills.
Recently, there have been reports that both celebrities have secretly wed in the past, which has caused both fans and media outlets to make assumptions about the nature of their relationship.
The Rumors Surrounding Keanu Reeves And Winona’s Ryder Wedding
Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder’s on-screen chemistry and long-standing friendship have been a topic of speculation among fans for years. Rumors have surfaced that the pair may have taken their relationship to the next level.
Reeves told the media that he and the 51-year-old are technically married “under the eyes of God.” This results from a wedding scene in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 film Dracula.
Coppola, wanted the movie to be as authentic as possible and even hired a real Romanian priest to perform a marriage ceremony between Speed Star and Ryder’s characters. During his appearance on Esquire, he was questioned about whether they were married and was asked to explain.
“We did a whole take of a marriage ceremony with real priests,” Reeves replied. “Winona says we are. Coppola says we are. So I guess we’re married under the eyes of God.”
In a 2018 Entertainment Weekly interview, Beetlejuice player confirmed that she believes they got married in Dracula, she revealed,
“We got married in ‘Dracula.’ No, I swear to god I think we’re married in real life,” and continued,
“In that scene, Francis [Ford Coppola] used a real Romanian priest. We shot the master and he did the whole thing. So I think we’re married.”
While neither actor has walked down the aisle in their personal lives since Dracula, they have both been in relationships with other people. Ryder has been with fashion designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn since 2011, while Reeves was last known to be dating artist Alexandra Grant.
The Romantic Relationships Of Keanu Reeves
John Wick artist has a reputation for being one of Hollywood’s most private celebrities, especially when it comes to his personal life and romantic relationships. However, when he made a rare public appearance with the 50-year-old at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles in November 2019, it sent shockwaves through his fanbase.
Although the relationship had been going on for a while, according to Grant’s friend, actress Jennifer Tilly, who revealed,
“I remember a couple of years ago, about a year and a half ago, [Grant] said, ‘Keanu Reeves is my boyfriend,’ and I’m like, ‘Wait. What? What? What?”
She continued, “It’s astonishing to me how in the last five months, all of a sudden, she goes to an event with him and everybody goes insane, like, ‘It’s his new girlfriend,’” before adding, that Grant “had gone to a lot of events with him [in the past].”
Further, she added, “It’s just suddenly surfaced that he’s been dating her for several years.”
Reeves’ romantic history is also marked by tragedy. One of his most notable relationships was with actress Jennifer Syme, whom he met in the late 1990s. The couple had a daughter, Ava, in 1999, but the baby was stillborn. The loss of their child led to the eventual breakup of their relationship, and Syme died in a car accident in 2001.
Since then, Reeves has been linked to Grant, and the couple has been spotted together on several occasions since then, indicating that their relationship may be more serious than initially believed.
