Keanu Reeves has reportedly been married to another actress for the past three decades, all while rumors swirl about him having secretly wed his longtime girlfriend, Alexandra Grant.
The 60-year-old actor, best known for starring in the John Wick franchise, has long been known for keeping his personal life private.
However, it turns out Reeves may have tied the knot with actress Winona Ryder thirty years ago, due to the pair's appearance in Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula.
The Accidental Marriage with Winona Ryder
The strange twist in Reeves' love life began when he and Ryder's characters, Mina and Jonathan Harker, got married during a wedding scene in the 1992 film.
A real Romanian priest was brought in to perform the ceremony, leading Ryder to claim years later in a 2018 interview with Entertainment Weekly that they were "actually married" in real life.
"We shot the master, and he did the whole thing. So, I think we’re married," the 53-year-old Stranger Things star said, joking about the situation.
Reeves, too, addressed the speculation in a 2018 interview: "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," per Variety.
Though the two have never dated in real life, the on-screen marriage has left fans amused by the idea that they’ve been inadvertently bound by the ceremony for nearly 30 years.
Keanu’s Relationship with Alexandra Grant
The Matrix star's actual relationship with visual artist Alexandra Grant has made headlines in recent years.
The couple, who have been together since 2018, were at the center of marriage rumors after Grant was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger.
Reports even suggested they may have secretly married during an intimate ceremony in Europe over the summer. Reeves broke his silence on the speculation, with his publicist telling E! News: "It is not true. They are not married."
Grant, who has known the Speed actor for years and collaborated with him on two art books - Ode to Happiness (2011) and Shadows (2016) - has kept her relationship and views on marriage relatively private.
In a 2020 Vogue interview, she dodged the question, stating: "Love at every level is deeply important to my identity," while noting that she deeply values relationships in her life.
Though Reeves and Grant prefer to maintain privacy, they have occasionally shared sweet glimpses into their life together.
On the actor's 61st birthday this month, the artist shared a photo of a heart-shaped cake alongside a message of love: "Thank you to everyone for sending over sweet wishes for Keanu's birthday yesterday... he was well-celebrated!"
"To Keanu - who saw this post as a draft! - I am so grateful for your love and partnership," she added.
The award-winning star has previously opened up about how the pandemic brought him and Grant closer.
In August 2020, he told Parade: "It's been really wonderful to be with Alexandra... We enjoy each other's company, whatever that may be. Once the beaches opened up, we went for a motorcycle ride, and we have a couple of projects."
Regardless of whether Reeves is officially married to Ryder, it's clear that he has a deep and meaningful connection with his partner.
