Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder are not married in the literal sense. However, while shooting for a wedding scene in Bram Stoker's Dracula, an actual Romanian priest led the reel wedding between Reeves and Ryder, indirectly marrying the two.

Canadian actor Keanu Reeves and American actress Winona Ryder are one of the adored on-screen pair. The two have worked with each other on various projects, one of them being the 1992 released Bram Stoker's Dracula. In the film, Winona Ryder played the role of Mina Harker while Keanu Reeves played the role of her husband and protagonist Jonathan Harker.

The two did an exceptional job in playing their respective roles, leading the film to be one of the most popular American gothic horror films. Bram Stoker's Dracula was released in 1992 and is based on the novel of the same name by Bram Stoker. The film was directed and produced by Francis Ford Coppola and starred Gary Oldman, Winona, Anthony Hopkins, and Keanu Reeves in the main roles.

The film was critically acclaimed by the audience and critics after its release and it went on to be nominated for four Academy Awards, out of which they won three.

The hilarious story behind Ryder and Reeves technically being married was first revealed by Ryder. Back in 2018, during her conversation with Entertainment Weekly, the Dracula star revealed that she might be married to her co-star Keanu Reeves after her onscreen wedding in the 1992 film released Dracula was led by an actual Romanian priest.

During her joint interview with Reeves, the actress said, "We actually got married in Dracula. No, I swear to god I think we're married in real life." She also added, "We shot the master and he did the whole thing. So I think we're married."

After being reminded of the wedding scene, Reeves also went to laugh and said, "Oh my gosh, we're married."

The news of Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder being technically married left many shocked and amazed. During an interview with Esquire, Reeves was once again questioned about his reel marriage with Ryder and that is it true.

Replying to the question, Reeve said, "We did a whole take of a marriage ceremony with real priests. Winona says we are. Coppola says we are. So I guess we're married under the eyes of God."

For the unversed, director Francis Ford Coppola also confirmed that they indeed had hired an actual priest to shoot the wedding scene for Dracula and that Ryder and Reeves may actually be married. Coppola told The Guardian, "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."
