“We actually got married in Dracula. I swear, I think we’re married in real life too. In that scene, Francis used a real Romanian priest,” she mentioned during an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
“We filmed the whole ceremony, and he performed the entire ritual. So, I guess you could say we’re married.”
Reeves also tackled the rumors in an Esquire interview, humorously noting, “We filmed an entire marriage ceremony with actual priests.”
“Winona says we’re married, Coppola says we’re married, so I suppose we’re wed in the eyes of God.”
Although the two are considered married in the eyes of God, they have never actually dated in real life. Ryder is famously known for her high-profile relationship with Johnny Depp in the 90s. They first met in 1989 and dated for four years before breaking up, during which Depp got his infamous ‘Winona Forever’ tattoo. Since then, Ryder has been in a relationship with Scott Mackinlay Hahn, whom she has been with since 2011.
Meanwhile, Reeves had an on-again, off-again relationship with actress and record company executive Jennifer Syme from 1998 to 2001. Tragically, Syme passed away in 2001. Reeves is currently reported to be in a relationship with visual artist Alexandra Grant.
It’s unclear whether the pair ever needed to dissolve their marriage, given their legal status, but the story remains a fascinating piece of trivia from the 1992 film.
