Keanu Reeves has revealed that he's married... not to his long-term girlfriend Alexandra Grant, but to fellow actor Winona Ryder.
'But how is this possible?' I hear you cry. Well, it all stems from a movie Reeves and Ryder starred in back in 1992.
Fans may remember that in the Francis Ford Coppola movie Bram Stoker's Dracula, Reeves and Ryder's characters get married in a religious ceremony. However, I guess in an effort to make the scene feel more authentic, director Coppola hired real priests for the scene.

In fact, Ryder has even confirmed these comments, revealing in a 2018 interview with Entertainment Weekly: "We actually got married in Dracula."

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"
Of course, I can only imagine no actual license was signed, so I guess Reeves is right when he described the marriage as binding "under the eyes of God" only.

Of course, Reeves looks perfectly over-the-moon in his relationship with 49-year-old artist Alexandra Grant - with the pair making a rare public appearance together earlier this month on the red carpet of the 2022 MOCA Gala.

The couple first met in 2011 and collaborated on a number of different projects. For instance, Grant provided the art for the books Ode To Happiness and Shadows - two volumes of poetry written by Keanu himself.
Per the Daily Mail, Grant hails from Ohio, but grew up in various parts of the world. An artist in her own right, she's been working in the arts since graduating from Swarthmore College in 1994. Since then, she's had her work exhibited in various prestigious spaces across the world, including the LACMA, the Galerie Gradiva in Paris, and The Harris Lieberman Gallery in New York.
Whoever he's married to or in a relationship with, all I want is for Keanu to be happy. Because that man is absolutely - to use a phrase of his - breathtaking.
