There are claims that Keanu Reeves secretly married his long-time lover, Alexandra Grant, but he has been married to another actress for the previous thirty years.
The 60-year-old actor is best known for his role in the John Wick movies. He has always been known for keeping his personal life discreet.
But it looks like Reeves may have married actress Winona Ryder thirty years ago, because they both appeared in Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula.
The Unplanned Marriage with Winona Ryder
The unexpected turn in Reeves’ love life started when he and Ryder’s characters, Mina and Jonathan Harker, got married in a wedding scene in the movie from 1992.
A real Romanian priest was brought in to do the wedding, which made Ryder say years later in a 2018 interview with Entertainment Weekly that they were “actually married” in real life.
We filmed the master, and he did the whole thing. The 53-year-old Stranger Things star joked about the scenario, saying, “I think we’re married.”
In an interview from 2018, Reeves also talked about the rumours: “We did a whole take of a marriage ceremony with real priests.” Variety claims that Winona and Coppola say we are, so I assume we’re married in the sight of God.
Fans have found it funny that the two have been “married” for almost 30 years because of the on-screen marriage, even though they have never dated in real life.
Keanu and Alexandra Grant’s Relationship
The Matrix star’s real-life relationship with visual artist Alexandra Grant has been in the news a lot in the last several years.
People thought they were getting married when they saw Grant wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger. The couple has been together since 2018.
Some reports even said that they might have gotten married in secret during a private ceremony in Europe during the summer. Reeves spoke out about the rumours, and his spokesperson told E! News, “It is not true.” They are not wed.
Grant has known the Speed actor for years and worked with him on two art books: Ode to Happiness (2011) and Shadows (2016). She has kept her relationship and thoughts on marriage mostly to herself.
In a Vogue interview from 2020, she avoided the topic by saying, “Love at every level is deeply important to my identity,” and then she went on to say how much she cherishes the relationships in her life.
Reeves and Grant choose to keep their lives private, but they have shared some touching moments from their time together.
This month, on the actor’s 61st birthday, the artist uploaded a picture of a heart-shaped cake with a message of love: Thanks to everyone who sent Keanu birthday wishes yesterday. He had a great time!
To Keanu, who viewed this post as a draft! She said, “I am so thankful for your love and support.”
The award-winning star has talked about how the pandemic brought him and Grant closer together before.
He told Parade in August 2020, “It’s been really great to be with Alexandra…” Whatever it is, we like being together. We went on a motorcycle trip after the beaches opened up, and we have a few things to do.
It doesn’t matter if Reeves is technically married to Ryder; it’s apparent that he has a strong and important bond with his partner.
